In reply to the discussion: After Trump's dangerous talk about Biden being shot [View all]ancianita

He must go through their lines of authority, so I doubt they're afraid of being fired. They know he can't fire them. Besides, most of them are Republican, and even he knows he shouldn't alienate his armed feds the way he has the rest of the cabinet agency people.
If they live up to their sworn oaths to protect and defend the Constitution, which provides for eliminating any kind of threat to life, liberty, etc., they must do their jobs and warn him that he can't create a climate of threat to anyone, not just a public figure.
He'll just say he was joking. But that's how crime bosses always cover themselves and they know it.
