Amnnnnnd he can't do that. Yet another suit wasting our country's time and resources.
Amnnnnnd he can’t do that.
When you've got your little gremlins crawling through Active Directory and deactivating people's security badges and login Ids, he absolutely can.
This is the dream of the Silicon Valley "Network State". One in which individuals can be fully segregated and insulated from one another through digital security protocols. In a heavily surveilled, digitized, and highly authoritarian workplace like a federal bureau, the people in IT hold immense direct personal control over the rest of the workforce entirely through their handle on the security hardware.
If nobody stops him then he can do it.
Unfortunately our system is completely broken and nobody is stopping him or the unelected immigrant con man who is actually running the government.

It looks like there is more than just ‘nobody’ trying to stop his bs in the court rooms.
Unfortunately, it's not sufficient to simply get a court order against him. Trump has indicated that he's simply not going to listen. The court will also have to force him to comply.
And for this, I am hopeful that the involvement of State governments will be helpful. They have State Police that (to my knowledge) can't be easily put under Federal control like the National Guard can. So it may be possible for a state that is part of one of these court orders to send their own State Police to enforce the order if the DoJ instructs the US Marshals not to.
Yes, it's a great big Constitutional Crisis if we need to reply on State Police to enforce a Federal Order. But we're already there....
The fact that neither the judicial or legislative branches have no enforcement arm seems a huge oversight to the "Checks and balances"
That we have not progressed since "John Marshall has made his decision, now let's see him enforce it" is scary.
