Earlier this month Warren had a story featuring a "knock knock" joke from @BobFighter_45 showing Barack Obama looking through a peephole in a door and who he saw on the other side (click the post for the full pic):

That's hilarious, but not everybody's laughing.
The nerves are especially rattled at FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, and we saw evidence of that recently when this happened:
The F.B.I. director, Christopher A. Wray, told bureau employees on Wednesday that he intends to resign in January, bowing to the reality that President-elect Donald J. Trump had publicly declared his desire to replace him.
The announcement comes after Mr. Trump said in late November that he intended to nominate Kash Patel, a longtime loyalist, to run the F.B.I., and more than two years before Mr. Wray’s 10-year term would have expired.
White House lawyers are now reportedly preparing a preemptive pardon for Wray and will decide if it's needed before Biden leaves office. Wray will leave his job before Trump takes office next month.
There sure are a lot of pardons being considered for all these people the WH and Dems insist did nothing wrong.
Imagine working inside the FBI and finding out the man you were once targeting is likely to be your boss very soon. That's causing some blood pressure spikes among certain people inside the bureau:
Kash Patel, onetime FBI target, now on track to run the FBI. When Congress wanted to know about the Trump-Russia investigation, the FBI stonewalled. Then it got the phone records of the congressional investigators--including Kash Patel. https://t.co/QRfpIqQRZf

From Byron York at the Washington Examiner:
During the Trump years, FBI directors and other top law enforcement and intelligence officials did the following:
1) Opened investigations on presidential candidates.
2) Deployed undercover agents and confidential sources to spy on a candidate’s advisers.
3) Hired a campaign opposition researcher under the guise of intelligence gathering.
4) Presented false opposition research to a court as a basis for wiretapping a candidate’s adviser.
5) Used false opposition research to brief the president of the United States.
6) Ambushed the president-elect with false opposition research.
The list goes on, including examples of FBI leadership misleading both Congress and Trump when he was president the first time.
As a result, there are some undies in a serious wad:
Less than a day after Trump named Kash Patel as his choice for FBI director, a former federal law enforcement official asked me a question: "curious if I'm on that list?"
He was referring to a list of roughly 60 people who Patel had said were members of the “deep state” in a memoir last year, “Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth and the Battle for Our Democracy."
Days later, a former intelligence official reached out to ask the same question. After checking the book, I told them they hadn’t made the list.
But even for those not on the list, their absence hasn’t quelled the fears of a dozen current and former Justice Department, FBI and intelligence officials have expressed to NBC News their fears that Patel, if confirmed, would use his power as FBI director to criminally investigate Trump’s perceived adversaries, including them.
As the saying goes, "ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun." But it takes some serious stones for the people who used their positions to go after political opponents to then cry about the possibility of those same people holding them accountable for it.
This bunch never expected Trump to win but didn't foresee Biden's decline being put on public display during the debate and then underestimated just how lousy a candidate Kamala Harris would be. Now some of them have painted themselves into quite a corner.
Accountability may finally be coming for the FBI https://t.co/ywH4SbyChH

Accountability is coming, hopefully:
A few times a day, this office posts J6-related news.

But during his resignation speech, Chris Wray completely avoided talking about without question the biggest criminal investigation in FBI history.
I cannot wait for their comeuppance. https://t.co/nVxWsep9u8
Wray likely won't be the only top FBI official to be running away.
