It seems as though the only people who would want to purge the UFOs would be... criminals? Ron DeSantis, desperately trying to pull off his Trump mini-me schtick, parrots everything he says. Via the Telegraph:

Ron DeSantis has promised to fire the FBI’s director and reduce the agency’s footprint in Washington by “at least 50 per cent” on “day one” of his presidency if he wins the White House in 2024.

The Florida governor has reportedly been working for months on a plan to gut and then drastically reform the US Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Mr DeSantis, who remains Donald Trump’s strongest challenger for the Republican nomination, said if he won the 2024 election: “You have a new FBI director on day one. You have a house-cleaning on day one.”

The proposal has formed part of Mr DeSantis’s response to the criminal charges against Mr Trump for allegedly mishandling classified government secrets.
