Democratic Massachusetts Representative Seth Moulton stated on CNN Wednesday that he anticipates “thousands” of federal employees may resign by January in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in November.

Since securing both the Electoral College and the popular vote, Trump has been steadily announcing his key nominations, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, and Kash Patel as FBI Director.

During CNN News Central, host Brianna Keilar asked Moulton whether he is concerned about the FBI becoming politicized following reports of current FBI Director Christopher Wray’s resignation earlier that day, even though under Joe Biden, the bureau was heavily politicized — as was the Justice Department — against the regime’s political enemies, namely Trump.

“Brianna, that’s exactly the word for it. Trump wants to politicize the FBI, to turn it back to the days of J. Edgar Hoover, where the FBI has its own really lawless agenda, where the FBI is a tool of the state to persecute Americans, not to actually uphold the law for everybody in our land,” Moulton baselessly claimed.

“So it is very dangerous. The calculation that Chris Wray made when he decided to resign is a calculation that hundreds, thousands of federal employees are making right now all across Washington and all across the country,” Moulton added.

In fact, Trump’s pick to head the FBI – Kash Patel – and the Justice Department – Pam Bondi – will be charged by the 47th president to depoliticize both agencies and put them back on the path to pursuing criminality in an unbiased manner.

Moulton then addressed Trump’s stated objective of reducing the federal workforce and perhaps trimming entire federal agencies, a job he has entrusted to billionaire Elon Musk and business entrepreneur Vivik Ramaswamy.

“I’ve heard from a lot of friends who work for the federal government trying to decide, do they wait to get fired? Do they resign on their own terms, as Chris Wray decided to do? Do they resign in the administration when they get to a point where they’re asked to do something that they fundamentally disagree with?” Moulton asked.

“It’s a sad state of affairs, where so many public servants, people who joined the government, not because of a political affiliation, but just to do the right thing for the country, know that they’re going to be asked to do things that are lawless. They’re trying to figure out when the right time to resign is as Trump comes into office,” he claimed.

For the record, the vast majority of federal employees donate to Democrats, with 84 percent of federal workers’ presidential donations going to Vice President Kamala Harris during this cycle.
