firing: its hard to sue a fed employee for doing their job. and its on the plaintiff to prove that firing was not a part of their responsibilities.

(there were cases of DOGE lying + access to protected data, idk if plaintiffs can prove personal responsibilities tho, maybe some)

Federal employees are supposed to follow the law. "It was my job to break the law" is not a thing.

Unless you are the police, those do not have to follow the law. But these guys were not cops.
