As we continue referencing the key staffing challenges and positions for Trump 2025, in part to frame a proactive outline and in part to highlight the challenges within several positions that have been corrupted by the administrative state; today we look at the FBI {Context Here}.
Arguably the FBI is the key agency within the U.S. government that has provided the most discussion since the agency first targeted presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2015/2016.
The FBI is without doubt the one agency I have spent the most time researching in the past decade; in part due to the researched corruption within it, and in part due to stunning revelations discovered about the way it operates.
With background context previously shared, today my goal is to outline an aspect within the silo that few really understand.
This outline is extremely challenging without context. Some of the questions people have about the agency will hopefully be answered, and my hope is everyone who reads will have new context.
Let’s start with a simple question: How is it the FBI can botch so many openly problematic investigative issues like terrorist attacks, and yet simultaneously spend so much time investigating issues that seemingly have little or no value?
In essence, how does the FBI miss so much, yet have time for things that seem openly political?
The answer to that question took a long time to understand, it’s much more than just institutional corruption.
The FBI as an institution has a modern operational mission that is different from what is commonly thought to exist. The reality of the modern FBI mission consists of prioritizing their work based on the interests of Washington DC, and ONLY the interests of Washington DC.
If a subject can be defined as a priority for the system of government in Washington DC, then that subject is the targeting priority for the FBI. It does not matter what priority is assigned by any outside interest on the issue; nor does it matter what level of importance exists from the actual threat itself.
Example. The FBI misses terrorist threats, because the FBI -as a totally siloed agency- is not informed of the threat from DC. If a citizen, group, or outside agency reports a potential risk it is not investigated. This surfaces in everything from the Boston Marathon bombers to the Parkland shooter, to U.S. gymnasts being sexually assaulted. If the “threat” defined is not a threat to DC interests, then the threat is not pursued by the FBI.
The FBI only investigates threats or subjects of interest that stem from origination in Washington DC. Meaning if the DC system is threatened by the subject, that subject gets investigated. If the DC system does not trigger the notification, the FBI does not investigate it.
In essence the FBI only investigates threats as they are defined by other agencies, or silos, within Washington DC. The FBI is the internal agency that protects the DC system. This is a bastardized concept, a completely screwed up institutional mission, that stems from within the term “the continuation of government.”
A local or state issue, is not a priority for the FBI, even if the issue is a major threat to the domestic tranquility…. UNLESS, that issue, person or group threatens the stakeholders within the DC political system. This manifests openly by the inability of citizens to provide information that triggers action by the FBI.
The FBI only responds to investigative actions requested by agencies within Washington DC. Typically, Main Justice or the DOJ is the source of those originating requests; however, sometimes the executive or legislative branch can trigger the FBI action, if the identified threat has the potential to upset political operations within Washington DC.
Armed with empirical, undeniable evidence of corrupt activity, I was prepared to engage the FBI when I was intercepted by a person who warned me about this operational mission. It was from that point that I really began to understand the FBI as a silo within the system that is entirely predicated on self-preservation.
If a person brings a federal corruption issue to the FBI (like evidence of corrupt activity), they will end up being a target of the FBI because the evidence itself is likely adverse to one or more interests within DC. There are many reference examples, but two you will likely know are James O’Keefe (Ashley Biden diary) and/or voter fraud (writ large, with Michigan as a great example).
Because the Biden Diary threatened the DC government interest, O’Keefe quickly became a target. Because voter fraud in Michigan threatened the DC government interest, the FBI stepped in to cover it up. You can say the same for the Awan brothers, the Huma Abedin laptop, the Clinton classified emails and many more.
The FBI has two ways to protect the interests of DC: (1) Defend by investigating the accuser, evidence holder, or person who raises the issue. (2) Defend by non-investigation of the subject matter (Olympic Gymnasts, Epstein, etc). Again, if the institutional interests within DC are threatened by the subject matter, the objective of the FBI is to defend those institutional interests.
The FBI is not a federal investigative agency with a mission to serve and protect the people of the United States. The FBI is a federal investigative agency with a mission to protect the institutional interests of Washington DC. Once you understand this process with clarity then everything the FBI does and does not investigate, makes sense.
This operational mission of the FBI explains why when a citizen brings an issue to the FBI, the citizen is more than likely going to end up as a target. This reality is key to understanding the disparity between what people perceive as the FBI mission, and what the ACTUAL mission is.
This is not some off-the-cuff disparagement or conspiracy theory; this is the fact-based reality of how the FBI works. Even in my own discussions with John Durham’s FBI investigators, they openly admitted how their operational mission does not permit them to entertain any evidence of corruption or wrongdoing within government.
When you understand how it works, then you start to realize the futility of expecting any investigative outcome from the FBI toward anything that does not threaten Washington DC. Protecting the DC system IS the goal, the priority, the operational mission; nothing more. Does the FBI inability to track the J6 pipe-bomber make more sense now? There are a tremendous number of examples.
The various FBI offices distributed around the nation are essentially interception venues, constantly on the lookout to protect the interests of DC. If an issue surfaces that could potentially put the administrative state, or any actor therein at risk, the FBI is far more likely to intercede, intercept and manage away the issue.
The FBI are essentially investigative managers; they are not concerned with fraud or criminal wrongdoing when/if that fraud or corruption might put a part of the DC system at risk. Instead, the FBI will take control of the problem and throw their investigative blanket over it (Ex. Hunter Biden laptop, as given by the computer repair shop). The non-pretending people within the FBI will admit this, as will just about anyone who has ever had experience reaching out to the FBI for investigative assistance.
Once you take this context and apply it to examples you can reference, then suddenly everything the FBI does and does not do, makes sense. Every contradiction, and I do mean each example that might be pulled into the conversation as a reference point, makes sense from the reality of this perspective. The raid on Mar-a-Lago and the targeting of President Trump is another brutally obvious example.
Many voices have recently started calling for the elimination of the FBI as a result of controversies that surround this factual mission priority. Those voices are not wrong; in fact, there is no way to reform the FBI as an investigative agency, because the mission of the agency is the opposite of what it should be.
The FSB is known to protect the interests of the Russian government; this is accepted and no longer arguable. However, the same purpose is true with the USA and the FBI relationship toward government. Unfortunately, the system of government that benefits from this protection is never going to willingly remove their guards.
The last point on this issue is even more alarming. Only a handful of people within Washington DC will admit the truth behind the FBI mission.
With this in mind, who should be the FBI Director, Deputy Director and Chief Legal Counsel for a President Trump administration.
If the goal is to begin the process to remove the institution, it is going to take a massive amount of public education to get this level of support in place. Removing this one agency silo is going to take up a lot of time by senior members of the Trump administration.

Dream Team.
I think the most qualified man for FBI Director is, without doubt, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
The guy that sorta trusted them?
How much “ sorta “ do you think exists now ?
My premise is he would be very “ motivated “.
I don’t really “feel” an urgency or commitment by Gen. Flynn to do more than write and speak. I also believe my “feeling” is borne out by his caving to the threats used against him. And I have never heard him definitively describe or explain that threat process with any specificity. (I admit that I don’t follow him and may have missed something.)
I think he was broken by what they put him through. While understandable, I do not see Gen. Flynn as a “do or die trying” opponent of the FBI machinery.
Understood, and valid points.
I would propose that the task is larger than one man can accomplish. I think he would have a genuine ability to attract more new people into the organization. The Lt. Gen. would be quite accurate at pointing them in the right direction, with little wasted time. And time is short.
The blob has already thrown everything they had on him.
The blob is never through throwing everything they can make up with the help of the media lapdogs. Look at all of the major Texas print media and how they convicted KEN PAXTON over and over again, every day!!
Want to know who was behind it?
https://texasscorecard.com/investigations/the-coup-how-texans-dodged-an-attempt-to-kill-their-power-in-2023/
I think all he’s interested in is making up sone of the money he lost .
Correct. Flynn cooperated, plead guilty, and even used …….. wait for it………Eric Holder’s legal firm to negotiate his plea to the DoJ. Hard pass, sorry.
Many are motivated. Few have what it takes to succeed.
He has other tasks. The black budget awaits his attentions.
Sorry, but Flynn’s ship has sailed. He is marked with Russia Collusion, and will be completely ineffective in cleaning up the mess.
That he was able to be thrown into legal morass SO easily with his unreported FARA shows that he is completely unprepared for the size of this job. Plus he has shown us that he is easily blackmail-able over his son; that will be used in a heartbeat to shut down any reforms Flynn proposes.
You fail to see things as they are. Look deeper.
President Trump was recruited.
Generational war.
Who tapped who, actually?
Well there was another son, hunter ?
The “ reforms “ are personnel related.
Caved over issues his son had with Turkey, IIRC.
A convicted felon who was called a traitor by the judge. Yes, I know Flynn was pardoned and the judge was corrupt but the nomination will never even be considered by the Senate.
I didn’t realize he was convicted by jury. I thought he copped a plea to keep his son from being charged for not filing a grubmint rqd lobbyist form.
By the way, how is it that peepul in the fusa are paid by foreigners to “ lobby “ the grubmint.
Who are the traitors ? Certainly not Lt. Gen. Flynn.
Agreed, but it doesn’t matter. A guilty plea is the same as a jury decision.
The US Senate is corrupt.
It’s not always the nominated and approved head of the agency that will wield the power.
Maybe an acceptable (but blackmailed by our new President) figurehead, with the REAL power given to others. This is what they did to us with Joe, right??
A change in the job description, plus some artfully applied pressure, would allow a deputy to wield the actual power.
Nah
I cant tell you why but my better sense tells me something is not right with him. I have listened to him countless hours but have never heard him connect any dots of the bad guys. He can speak for hours never naming any person its always the agency needs cleaned up or other mysterious things he leads one to believe but the smoke never leads to the fire. I truly wish he can become part of Trumps administration but im burned out on the TREY GOWDY talking tough never doing a damn thing category.
I agree!
He knows how evil they are, how they operate and who is who.
He was put through the illegal meat grinder.
IMO He’d be put through the grinder again too.
A few RINOs join the dems and make up some new crimes against him……
I’ve met and spoken with Flynn. He’s a nice guy and he’s smart. But IMO, he’s not nearly tough enough for this task!
They were able to take Flynn out BEFORE DAY ONE! LOL
Are you aware that he was a registered Democrat through Trump’s entire first term?
Trojan Horse.
Trojan Horses can be, and often are, deployed by malevolents AND those who seek to defeat them.
Being totally focused on bark or a tree blinds one from noticing what’s happening in the rest of the forest. And beyond.
And John McCain was a registered Republican . . .
Your point?
There are now only Patriots and Traitors.
Flynn is Team Patriot.
Traitor McCain is burning in Hell.
No
Most qualified to head the FBI == General Flynn
A trained lawyer and/or criminal investigator?
Chances of being confirmed by the SENATE Intel Committee and then the entire SENATE?
Areas of expertise?
Spycraft, the military and Intel agencies.
Flynn isn’t a lawyer.
Wonder if he’s still close pals with Susan Rice?
My premise is, he could lead a team to very quickly fire those who should be fired yesterday.
Maybe Flynn for CIA…
Nope.
Have loved what I’ve seen of Clay Higgins and I’ve wanted Kris Kobach to have a larger role for ages. Praying someone on Trump’s team is reading you, Sundance. Thank you!
All I can say, sundance, is that I hope people within the Trump organization are paying attention to all of your stuff you put on your website with so much thought behind it.
May God bless it, you , and your efforts.
IF they HAD been paying the F-CK ATTENTION….they’d have taken SD’s suggestion and HIRED TRUE THE VOTE (Kathleen Englebrecht) BEFORE the 2020 STEAL.
If one of DJT’s people IS READING CTH…..then it’s likely that sonuvab*tch is NOT TELLING TRUMP about SD and CTH…..or someone in the organization is SPIKING THE MESSAGE.
FWIW, it has long been noted here that Trump’s people have and do read CTH.
Including Melania, per SD.
deep state unfortunately
Exactemundo.
Unlike some readers President Trump and his team actually understand the rules around filling positions in a Presidents administration.
One BASIC RULE == the President does NOT have the authority to HIRE anyone in his administration (except for his personal staff) without getting SENATE Committee approval then full SENATE approval.
Since SD has pointed this out repeatedly, if these still clueless people actually start “READING CTH” and “paying the F-CK ATTENTION” they will hopefully start DOING what President Trump has asked them to do (what he can’t do for them)
gathering VOTERS so he gets a 2 Big 2 Rig election turn out win that includes keeping the House and gaining control of the SENATE……
rather than wasting precious time making online posts unironically “TELLING TRUMP” that HE failed to do his jobs properly because HE hasn’t been paying attention.
#63MoreDays
Carpe diem while there are still diems left to carpe.
Whatever will you lecture everyone on when the election is over?
Hopefully you will write your own blog since Sundance does not seem to meet with your esteemed approval.
Does anyone remember the old series called “To Catch A Thief”? Couldn’t this all be part of a construct to catch ALL THE BAD GUYS?
Agree, but they are paying attention to TTV and Englebrecht now. PT has mentioned her long ago at a rally.
It will take very strong leadership for this to happen because there will be a significant backlash from the corrupt, and an equal amount of backstabbing from the guilty and compromised.
Looking directly at the House and Senate.
Trump should order the FBI to inventory the federal government’s supply of paper clips by counting the number of clips in each and every box. That should keep them occupied for a while.
I’ve often noted that. When done with paper clips, they can inventory the government supply of copy paper…..one sheet at a time.
<…they can inventory the government supply of copy paper…..one sheet at a time.>
So you expect them to turn over a new leaf? 🙂
I see what you did there, Wordman…..🙂
Better detail every FBI Agent in the country to ICE and Border Patrol. They have badges and guns, too!
Only after every single clip is shipped to Adak, AK and each flunky is directed to move there to begin the inventory.
That’s the spirit I’m looking for!
35000 fbi agents and agentetts with a 9 billion budget descend on Adak. will there be room for the paper clips?
Then send homeland security to Pancake Rock
NSGA? Forward deployed out of Adak, AK on 3 occassions.
Waste of time…task each investigator to find something on every senator that they wouldn’t want anyone to know about…
PDT should assign the fbi a quota system related to deporting high-risk criminal invaders. Any fbi agent who doesn’t track and arrest 15 invaders a week is unemployed. They can team up but the quota rises accordingly. While they’re chasing their tails doing that, reorganize the Marshal’s Service into a regional force using local LE officers for half the positions.
GREAT IDEA!
They will develop a paper clip counting machine. But wait… it’s code will be hacked! 🙂
Also the bean counters….wherever they may be.
“Looking directly at the House and Senate”
❤
Since control of the House and Senate (plus WH) will be determined by what voters choose to do, or not do, over these final 63 DAYS, hopefully this “looking” is followed by “looking directly at the” mirror, some self reflection followed by FOCUSED real world transforming actions.
Makes perfect sense: Whatever threatens the DC establishment threatens the FBI. Which means whatever threatens the FBI threatens the DC establishment. Now that’s a match made in hell.
Does the fbi director require senate confirmation? If so, this might be difficult.
Yes.
And the FBI director is appointed for a single, 10-year term. Director Wray was appointed in 2017, so Trump would have to go through the process of removing Wray (typically ask for his resignation) before nominating a successor.
The recent SC decision gives President Trump more authority to can Wray on Day One!
That decision did not give/grant the Office of the President “more authority”, it reaffirmed the power held by the unitary executive.
Wray can be fired, just like Comey was.
That’s all the process I need.
True, but not as straight forward with the FBI Director. It’s the one position explicitly given a term (10 years) in order to maintain some independence for the position (similar to a Supreme Court Justice). That was the compromise after Hoover died in office. FBI Director has some independence, but not a lifetime position.
Most usually leave when asked to resign. Remains to be seen if Wray goes that route, or resists. Could be an early s-storm for the Trump administration.
A few months ago PT said Wray should resign after some terrible thing occurred. I don’t remember the event since there are so many such events as SD has duly noted, but I thought PT was giving Wray the heads up to resign before Jan 2025.
👍
fbi director reports to the Ag and now to the DNI. yes senate must confirm.
And first the Senate Intel Committee aka The Guardians of the Swamp, must decide whether to reject a nominee or to allow the whole SENATE to research them, interview them, publicly grill them then vote to reject them or hire them.
Expose the US Senate with the Jeffery Epstein list or the US capital madame’s and or the congressional page debacle…
Ok but their titles should be:
FBI Dismantler and Destroyer, Clay Higgins.
Deputy Dismantler and Burn to the Ground specialist, Kris Kobach.
Chief Counsel of Salting the Earth where FBI was burned, Tony Buzbee
Love it!
Solid picks for sure. We know there was a trial run for the targeting of President Trump. Would there be a slot somewhere in Trumps admin for Eric Greitens as he was the pre-target?
“Solid picks” == less likely to be approved by the Senate Intel Committee that pre screens those picks or to be confirmed ie hired by the whole SENATE after they researched, interviewed then publicly grilled them before voting to accept or reject the “pick”.
Tough as nails. They gotta be. It’s going to be a rough ride, but Clay and Kris could definitely be the ones to get it done.
FBI = KGB. It’s that simple. I’ve been saying this since the Trump impeachment.
The Stasi is also a good comparison.
Has FBI been this way since J Edgar helped cover for the Kennedy shooters?
Are the many “intelligence” agencies also siloed?
Does anybody other than Sundance put together a complete picture?
Was there ever a time when the US gov’t was NOT corrupt?
Probably corrupt for a very long time but they left the average Joe alone.
Now you must submit to and praise the agenda or face the consequences. The Federal Bureau of Instigators and the rest of government will not let you live your life alone and in peace any more.
Day one as the Founding Fathers never created a federal police force much less a federal military force. The Founding Fathers never created the fbi.
And rejected the idea of a standing army.
The FBI should be maintained, but only in support of local law enforcement agencies. They have the databases, and the forensic capabilities to assist in finding actual criminals.
Maintained only in structure as a support agency. NOT AS THE FIB though. New name, smaller organization and a new mission expressed in legal terms that never allows them circumvent the law or use the FISA databases in any manner. In other words a very simple support agency without arrest authority and subservient to state LE agencies.
If these items can be met then maybe it could work.
The silence from staff is obvious. Would be like retraining Hitler Youth which as we know is impossible. Dr Seuss and the Dept of War made a film or two regarding.
Turn the FBLie into a Federal Bureau of deportation.
Make it their only mission.
With quotas. Pay gets docked if not met, but probably a bonus for exceeding expectations.
The crime lab is top – notch, that should be kept operating in some form.
Buzbee is a veteran, Marine. He is a fighter.
His defense of Ken Paxton in the impeachment trial was masterful, not only a former Marine, but a Texas A&M Aggie, too.
Buzbee was so much fun to watch!
Buzbee is brilliant and principled. Very good choice.
I forgive him the aggie part 😉
If you’re going to take it down this seems like a good team to do it. They appear to have the necessary level of ruthlessness. I doubt they can be blackmailed as they likely had all their dirty laundry exposed and appear immune to threats.
Ruthlessness, that is what we need.
I called that team in the Justice Department Thread!
I must be paying attention!
The name Tony Buzbee really made me smile. When he was defending Attorney General Ken Paxton during the sham Texas impeachment, he publicly told the Bushes to “Go back to Maine. This is Texas.” Former Marine Recon officer. No fear.
Yes Suh !
Personally, I’d just shutter it.
It’s not like there were very good t anything even before they became the cabal’s Stasi.
And local LE hate them.
From your mouth to Trump’s ears.
Now their corruption is a little easier to understand.
I’m not sure educating the public is the best use of resources here. Remember: a second Trump term will have limited TRUSTWORTHY people. Investing serious effort here weakens you elsewhere.
Transfer functions to the US Marshals, Secret Service, DEA (yeah yeah), the Coast Guard and Homeland Security. Fire as many as possible, pension others, no new hires.
Transfer what functions and to whom? The agencies you listed are compromised as well. Secret service?? Really.
Educating the public here in the Treehouse is exactly what is needed. CTH research and resources are and have been an unmatched dynamo for many years. Yes some others get close or lucky on occasion BUT NOT LIKE OUR SD.
Homeland Security is one of the worst of the agencies — talk about compromised!
So many agencies, so many farces, Homeland Security is one of the biggest.
Plus expand National Security Council advisory positions which don’t need Senate approval to act as Department Heads that do need Senate approval before being hired plus perhaps restructuring the existing National Security Council so it has mission focused teams.
You lost me at “expand”
NSA dates to 47, a twin sister of the CIA
Great choices. Do they realistically need recess appointments to get named, however?
I just can’t go there.
The personalities named may or may not be right for the job in the right environment, but that environment is not going to exist in the current matrix.
While in complete agreement that the FBI has the primary role of protecting the interests of DC, those interests are all controlled by the Fourth Branch of government known as the IC, as has been throughly explored and outlined in previous posts.
It is well known that my firmest belief and conviction is that not only do I agree with the CTH assertion that the IC is the superseding branch of government but that it is controlled by Langley.
As long as power resides in Langley through their ability to compromise all politicians, bureaucrats, courts and media, it is not going to matter who is put in charge at the FBI.
Langley will still have the ability thru bribery, framing, coercion, intimidation, threats or assassination to control that agency just as every other institution it controls.
I have stated before and state again, I sincerely hope I can be persuaded or convinced that I can be proven irrefutably wrong, but I see nothing here that convinces me that the path is not to bring Langley to bear before anything can improve.
All Roads Lead to Langley First!
And until the CIA is brought under control or eliminated, no agency, bureaucracy, or politician nor member of Main Justice or the Judiciary, nor the propagandized media and academic institutions will ever be able to govern and operate honestly, fairly, effectively, corruption free and in the interests of everyday America.
Langley is DC.
Godspeed.
BK you still need strong individuals in these FBI positions if only to prevent the continued false investigation by this agency that blocked many of Trumps action in his first term to be made public because of ongoing pie in sky investigations by this agency. Trump need to be able to have information he de-classifies released and not blocked by agencies.
Can President Trump hire whomever he wants to be his Department Heads or to serve in his administration without first getting the SENATES permission?
NO.
Consequently, this year, vote straight Republican unless President Trump specifically targets a Republican candidate to be btfo.
FBI CIA NSA Would be a good start.
It’s obvious that they don’t work for us, but we’re forced to finance their corruption.
And sometimes “no” is a lie.
There are indeed people in the data collection center…is that in Colorado?–that can get to the goods on the people at Langley, right?
Utah
You’d need a Congress that voted to abruptly cut off funds, even to Langley.
Yes, Yes, Yes, that’s the real answer.
State of emergency declared by PDJT first. Fed troops with boots on the ground and Langley is closed down decisively.
PDJT and congress and the judiciary can work on the details informing the public on the 5W’s. Exciting times. God willing in all things to take down this evil presence. 🙏🏽
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Insurrection Act / National Emergency!
That’s my view also.
The same Congress that SD has outlined as being corrupted and beholden to the Fourth Branch IC thru the HPSCI and SSCI?
That Congress?
.
Good luck with that.
It will rest with Trump and Trump only.
.
Bearing in mind that the CIA gets funds from many places, including “privately-owned” research corporations, USAid/State slush…
.
Drug running….
Human trafficking.
Remember Murphy. And Roger’s Rules, too.
They’d have to disband the CIA and form a new entity supported with approximately half the budget of the Russians or Chinese.
Then tell the employees – “Oh by the way – your output will be just as much as the Russians and Chinese.”
That will create the culture of excellence and grit justifying such an agency.
DK…”without” the thugs, err, FBI…those king making king slaying back actors are exposed….
in a revolution, nothing happens all at once…it’s one step, that leads to another.
dematerializing the FBI, in a variety of different measures, forces the secret police spy state to take a new direction…and suddenly.
NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO IGNORE THAT ACTION.
these are solely my opinions.
WE ARE AT WAR AND WE ARE THE WHITE HORSES.
no one else is coming to save us.
IT IS JUST US. WE THE PEOPLE.
organize
God Bless America
I agree, Regi!
I should have prefaced my statement with “notwithstanding completely closing down the FBI…”
Because that is the real solution until Langley can be brought under control.
In my view, the FBI is the Praetorian Guard domestic secret police for those “king making king slaying back actors” that are fomenting or have fomented a color revolution domestically as they have done and do worldwide for decades.
No one is safe until they are destroyed.
well stated. I exchange with you so that the entire crew here AND ELSEWHERE can draw good ideas and a clear path that requires fortitude.
God Bless America
^^^^^^^^^^^^
💯🎯😎 totally agree BK. If you crush Langley with decisive and violent action if needed. The swamp rats will scatter and fast. They know they are outnumbered and the protection blanket of the CILie being gone will hasten the rats demise.
I need some education here.
I’d always thought the CIA operated independently but read an article the other night that it’s the State Dept and DOD that give them orders.
Does anyone know for sure how this all functions?
.
Kind of the reverse. The CIA effectively has gained control of the State Dept., and also insinuated itself into Special Operations Ft Bragg nka Liberty.
.
6th and 7th paragraph of my originating comment above, as well as every post SD has ever made about the Fourth Branch IC.
Agreed. Well said.
.
There are multifarious steps that can be taken and things that can be done. E.g. re CIA the President can remove CIA’s ability to use special operations soldiers without approval and make them report to the Secy Defense. Trump did this, but his EO was late in his last term and Biden reversed it. E.g. re FBI would be to get reversal through legislation, or just contest as unconstitutional, 1972 act that made FBI director subject to Senate approval, inasmuch as FBI is not an independent agency but an investigative division of DOJ, and this constitutes meddling with the President’s constitutional authority.
It probably is not a great idea to lay out a strategy in detail.
.
And none of that addresses the CIA’s covert ability to compromise as I stated above. None of it.
.
What’s your suggestion?
.
Release the Jeffery Epstein list, the US Capitol madame’s, and the Congressional page’s list… There are also secret lists of abused staffers at the US capitol where the US tax payers were forced to pay off each to remain silent over the abuse.
The blackmail is one source of power that can be extinguished with sunlight.
Example : Toe tapping Larry Craig accidently revealed.
Yes, yes, yes. Ruthless.
Day one take it out (CILIE). Bulldoze the building to the ground and arrest any persons on premise. This is a necessity of the highest order.
PDJT will inform the public of the actions being taken during his declared state of emergency.
And he should clarify that under NO so-called “state of emergency” can a citizen’s constitutional rights be abrogated.
BINGO!!
Fortunately, President Trump understands this, and much more.
He has been implementing a well thought out war plan that will allow him, if he gets enuf help from voters, to Save America by completing the historical renovation of our Republic that he refers to as Project MAGA ; a name he trademarked in late 2012.
I’d lock them out of the buildings, the computers, the assets like planes trains and cars, lock down every weapons cache. Capture their financial assets wrap up the informants.Im thinking a million things but let’s not give them any advance warning.
They already have advance warning. Hence the attempts to take out PDJT. They are arrested. Locked out of the buildings and computers is irrelevant. Bulldoze the building to the ground. Day 1.
Too decisive. Then you’re not in it to take back our Republic. Slow at first then all at once. Right!
Come on Katie and Work. Think. Lock them IN the building, cut the power and then burn and raze the building to the ground. Salt the ground if you wish. The actions to dismantle and destroy the Fib and CeyeA must be brutal and swift. They can never be allowed to forget what happens when you F around.
…steps off soapbox…
.
What federal personnel would you use to do this?
.
Fed troops. They are trained to handle urban operations, policing powers and placing persons under control, incarceration and finally holding trials and meting out punishments.
Why not just take the easy route?
Put in a dynamite Treasury Secretary and remove them all from the payroll….along with the CIA and every single illegal in this country….and any other problem makers.
No money, no problem!
Congress has control of the purse strings…..do we really believe that bevy of crooks can take any kind of “decisive action”????? Especially since they’ve been sitting on their a$$es for the past 40 years collecting massive insider trading paychecks and kowtowing to/covering for the DS???
that is not necessarily true. what is true is that Congress controls, authorizes public financing.
However, it IS the executive that has authority over spending.
this has always bothered me..that most people are not completely aware of the ALMOST KING LIKE POWERS THAT A PRESIDENT REALLY HAS.
if it has not been obvious, the secret police state is making every effort to steal this power. They have been successful with defrauding the election 2020 and installed Joe malarkey to seize that power.
what is on the battle field is the next exchange:
what IS STOPPING the secret police spy state from stealing the power of the President Again?
answer honestly. It’s okay if you don’t know the answer.
the answer is that most PEOPLE are unaware that there is a war going on….right now…and it’s being televised.
you are witness to the transfer of power FROM THE PEOPLE to an unelected secret police spy state.
That should bother you…a LOT.
God Bless America
Excellent analysis SD, and definitely accurate. I just finished reading a document sent to Congress compiled by local, State, and former federal law enforcement which described exactly what you wrote. It was over 200 pages long, with many examples, but the conclusions were the same as yours.
The examples were from many individuals who had worked on joint local/federal task forces. The former federal agents had either previous military or local law enforcement experience. Without exception, the former federal reporting persons had returned to local or State law enforcement.
There have always been problems in the agency, but the final drive off the cliff was under Mueller’s watch, they contend.
None of them talked about any “rank and file” still being decent.
It was clear, without being explicitly stated that the agency and needs to be removed and replaced with a new agency with an explicit mission to enforce the Constitution and statutes that are within Constitutional guidelines.
Pipe dream (punned on purpose). 😔😶
Love the line-up. LOVE Buzbee! I never heard of him until the Ken Paxton witch-hunt. NOW, in my mind, he is a legend.
“Let it be clear now…. The Bush era in Texas ends TODAY ….. They can go back to MAINE.”
I watched every minute of those disgraceful proceedings, Robin.
“Impressive” doesn’t even begin to describe his outstanding contribution.
That is a great lineup! Perfect!!!
clay will need/must have a legal team of exemplary character, agility and experience.
sidney powell.
Ken paxton
Jeff landry.
yes, these are the people who NEED/MUST BE in the next Trump administration…advisors, if you will. emissaries, even.
But quietly knocking it out of the park every single day, anticipating and addressing the many assaults that will surely come.
it takes a team people…and only the very best and those who are willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING MAY APPLY.
just some? maybe a couple? some, but not others?
NO. NO. NO.
Everyone must be willing to get dirty and fight…fight fight.
everyone.
God Bless America
I cannot understand the fixation on Sidney Powell. She should be nowhere near Trump, ever again. She capitulated to and cooperated with ….. Fani Willis. Ugh.
She’s a great legal mind, but somehow got hornswaggled into pleading guilty to tampering with voting machines?
Please folks, we need winners. We need people like Navarro, that went to jail rather than give the evil, lying Democrats a guilty plea that allows the media to scream “Trump ally pleads guilty to election fraud”. Look at Rudy. Going bankrupt rather than rollover.
I’m sympathetic to Sidney Powell, but no, Trump can’t take that risk of having her get her appendages in the wringer and capitulate and plea again. Once, and done.
I would love to see Ken Paxton be Attorney General of the United States. Cannot think of a better fighter for that job.
And he has administrative experience, which is invaluable. So many great fighters are horrible administrators … Just two different kinds of people.
Chris Farrell and Cleta Mitchell are awesome. Some of the less famous can actually get more done.
Totally On board with these picks!
Thank you for the focus & candor on this critical aspect. Really.
And relocate HQ to Chicago along with the DC field office staff and ship the Chicago staff to DC while the organizational downsizing proceeds.
Chicago?
The Swamp of the Midwest?
And the HQ of Marxists and Satanists in this country.
You’re right! The FBI is already being run out of Chicago!
TULSA…
RELOCATE the FEDERAL BULL$H1T INSPECTORS To TULSA
Hoover was brought in to clean up FBI corruption. Instead he perfected it.
When the FBI shot two bystanders at Little Bohemia and let the Dillinger Gang escape, there were calls to abolish the agency. Should have listened.
Originally FBI did not have arrest authority. It should never have been granted.
When JFK directed the FBI to protect the civil rights of black veteran James Meredith and get him registered at Ol’ Miss, Hoover refused. JFK wound up using mostly Border Patrol (American Insurrection, great book).
When President Hoover wanted the Capone organization taken down, he called in Treasury Agents, not FBI. He knew they were inept.
When alert local police in upstate NY detected a meeting of 60 Mafia heads, they did not call in the FBI, they called Treasury Agents . They knew.
So how did FBI become recognized as our premier law enforcement agency? Easy:
1. Flattering TV and movie portrayals.
2. Claiming credit for cases and arrests they had little or nothing to do with.
Look at them talk about white supremists, when the FBI themselves solved, then buried the 16th St Baptist Church (black) bombing, and continued to stymie the Alabama AG in his efforts to bring the killers to justice.
My opinion?
Trump Day One: troops and armor seal off DHS HQ, CIA HQ, and FBI HQ. They provide no value added.
If you read the history of Border Patrol Air Operations booklet that is sold at the Border Patrol Museum in El Paso, the story of the BP role at Ole Miss is even more impressive. The weather was terrible, rainy and very low visibility and ceilings. The BP pilots were transporting DoJ lawyers, papers, and other personnel into Oxford. The State of Mississippi aircraft were supposed to bring in opposing counsel. The Mississippi state aircraft had to go missed approach at Oxford. The BP Cessna 310 did an instrument approach to Ole Miss using the student radio station to get down out of the clouds and land on the yard. They had, I believe, the Deputy Attorney General on board. So Mississippi pretty much lost the legal battle.
Btw, when JFK turned to the US Marshals Service for help he discovered there were only 300 marshals in the whole US! And most of them were older political appointees serving as bailiffs in Federal courts.
So 500 Border Patrol with some Bureau of Prison faced off against a violent crowd of thousands. The officers carried only tear gas and truncheons, yet they were taking sporadic rifle and shotgun fire. But they held.
Meredith was kept in a room with a few armed marshals, a last line of defense.
In the end 30,000 troops occupied Oxford MS.
Emet, you apparently know a lot of information about some pivotal, yet seldom mentioned historical events. Very good!
Thank you. Bookworm.
Bonnie and Clyde. Hoover had to bring in Texas Ranger Frank Hammer.
I believe the Gov of Texas gave a commission to former Texas Ranger Frank Hamer to go after them.
Ironically , Hamer was an absolutely top notch law enforcement officer , but Hollywood ridiculed him in the movie Bonnie and Clyde. They would have never done that to an FBI agent.
The Old Patrol were organized in Marine Corp fashion. In case of fire break glass. Small outfit operating on fringes.
They were also brought in during the Wounded Knee debacle and the Cuban Riots at Atlanta.
These events all proceeded the modern proliferation of robust SWAT Emergency Response teams. And the Modern Patrol is just another fed job corp.
There are still many competent agents in the Modern Patrol. The termination of the Uvalde school shooter situation comes to mind. Especially difficult, considering they had to overrule the “incident commander” local police chief and fight to get around some DPS do nothings just to get out front and to the shooter.
But yes, with tremendous growth and the overall demonization and marginalization of LE in general, definitely not the same as 60 years ago.
Yes, I have always said the patrol hired more good people than most agencies could find. Unfortunately they also always had a hard time keeping them, for lots of reasons. Geography and pay historically, with a dose of inherent frustration.
You are remarkably well informed.
Freakin Awesome!! Keep getting our hopes up!
100% correct. However. This assumes the normal channels. A near normal administration operation. There can be NO normal channels, there ARE no longer any normal channels. Here’s the fix that really needs to happen. Trump: “Ring, ring, Hello Space Force? The President here. Immediately surround the FBI building and capture everyone in the building and everyone who isn’t at work today. Seize all devices, every piece of paper, every everything. Fly all people to gitmo today. I’ll get to them in due time. Thank you, call me when it’s done. Goodby.” THAT level of operation is required if Trump wants to fix the country. There are no rules, but the Presidential Emergency Action Documents cover all of this I’m sure. So it’s all legal. I’m not kidding. Trump MUST use brute force in order to win. Bringing in people to try to dismantle the deep state by shuffling papers and going through the process is a losing proposition, and would take waaaay too long, and the corrupt courts would derail it all. . We have maybe a few months, not years to fix this. There are still so many naive people that don’t realize where we really are.
What makes you believe that President Trump would NOT have a plan?
A great question that often comes to mind while I read armchairs unironically opine about what OCD tier planner, President Donald John Trump, of all people, must do.
And the Karens both male and female would cry, “dictator Trump.” It’s already making the rounds in case he gets in.
I agree.A new venture calls forth a new faith. If you only do what you’ve already done, you’ll only get what you’ve already got. That said, Trump is going into enemy territory. Rank and file will have their own brute force too. The hand of God has to be on those who attempt to move us away from the dirty Deep State Benedict Arnolds.
When discussing how Federal (or state/local) law enforcement should be carried out, please consider this: Law enforcement provides a deterrent. They do not prevent nor solve every crime. They are solely a deterrent (yes some crimes cannot be deterred, eg crimes of
A deterrent comprises three factors:
1. The certainty of a criminal being caught.
2. The certainty of consequences.
3. The severity of the punishment .
We have seen a weakening of all three factors. Or more accurately, they are used to deter enemies of the Administration and Deep State; they diminish in effectiveness against criminals that threaten the American people.

Love it.
Kash speaks of the Swamp, FBI, DOJ, all of it. He has been horribly targeted. He says shut the FBI down on day one, the next day turn the building into a museum.
He also recommends severe downsizing.
Department of Government Efficiency! (DOGE).
Kek
Take their security clearances away. YES!
Pretty scary about the grid commentary, not like it is a topic many people haven’t spoken about for decades yet get ignored as conspiracy theorists.
Yes, the discussion of the grid going down is very attention worthy, particularly what Patel says about the length of time needed to get it back up and running.
It is good that he confirmed that at least President Trump discussed the threat while in office. (We know the current administration could care less, or might just facilitate. )
Not so good: the confirmation that the only contingency plan that existed as of the time of the Trump / Patel discussion is focused solely on assuring Continuity of Government
Everyone else? YOYO.
How’s everybody coming along with being self-reliant in the event of a really bad storm?
It’s a serious problem. There are N. Korean satellites that pass over the center of the US twice daily.
Harden the grid by EO. ESPECIALLY the TX grid. It can restart all the others.
RIP, dear Dr. Peter Pry.
Yep, get Russ Vought working on that right away. He knows it all. Brave, smart, maybe Sec of Treasury. Martin Armstrong for Fed Reserve.
Absolutely MUST be done. And those individuals named in Sundance’s article are the ones who can and must do it.
Its adorable when people seem to sincerely imagine that President Trump, of all people, “absolutely MUST” do what THEY want.
Obviously he does NOT and will NOT indulge these armchairs demands.
Thank God.
Ryan’s cornea looks normal in its reaction to light. Patel’s cornea does not have a normal reaction to light. Why is that?
Don’t know, his eye has always been that way, no clue what causes it. I have seen other people w/the condition.
Das plans for the former fbi building in DC is a mixed use building see ncpc. You know to house more foreigners to make DC a state.
How does Trump go about getting these people approved by Congress? We are reaching a point where playing nice is detrimental to fixing America.
Sorry, I’m just sick of them not playing by the rules, yet we do.
Perhaps President Trump has a very good bargaining tool this time around the HILL and they know it?
Possible?
Probable?
Threats and blackmail. You know one reason the DS hates him so much?? Because HE IS CLEAN, & THEY ARE FILTHY. They can’t get anything on him.
So, with a nod to the fact that Sundance does not think Kash Patel is on the up and up (I’m not sure why, so I assume it’s based on information provided privately), in this Shawn Ryan interview Kash goes into great depth about his recommendations for bringing the FBI to heel.
Shawn always does a great job as an interviewer, and they take their time.
It is worth a listen.
Patel hasn’t been one of my favorites, but the interview was straight up and it left me wanting more. He was on a roll.
At least, unlike many armchair opiners, Patel has tons of real world personal and professional experience about what he’s opining about plus he has the wisdom plus humility to realize that he’s NOT the boss, President Trump is.
In fact, Kash refers to PDJT as “the boss” whenever he does interviews.
Devin Nunes was also his boss.
When your cornea isn’t reacting normally, what else if “off?”
It’s my prayer that a certain lovely lady, and perhaps her son, is visiting here tonight.
Exceptional analysis and insight Sundance.
Thank you very much and please continue with your work.
You motivate me and perhaps many others.
My prayer is that every CTH reader, Trump supporter and threat aware American spends the next 63 days doing what President Trump can’t do for them but which must be done in order to earn the chance to keep fighting with the possibility of ultimately defeating The Deep State and solving the foundational problems that have inspired so much talk and thought over the years.
In just 63 more days this last chance; a chance so many have prayed for, some for many decades, will be gone forever.
Consequently, I pray that each one of us honors His gift by making sure President Trump gets the 2 Big 2 Rig voter turn out he’s asked each of us to give him.
Please remember that:
ALL States Matter. EVERY Vote Matters. Winning both the Electoral College Vote AND Popular Vote Matters.
So Pedal Down. LFG!!!
President Trump can order 50% of the FBI to the border with Border Patrol and the other 50% to augment ICE Deportations. That would give our immigration enforcement another 30,000 men to undo the damage done by the Democrats!
A very keen observation. And doing real, adversarial, gritty law enforcement like that would weed out the non-hackers of the FBI. They wouldn’t have to be fired, they’d resign.
I love possible solutions when they are put forward. Thank you!
America needs an FBI like it needs a hole in the head.
So the fbi is the pretorian guard of the’state’. Even more reason to dissolve it. I see no reason for the fbi, cia & nsa to simultaneously exist and use valuable resources for their own ends. No more armed federal agencies. Throw in the state department for good measure, they’ve been up to a lot of mischief lately too.
Without armed federal agents on the borders of states like California and NM, the governors of those states would permit a previously unbelievable scale of invasion.
Not quite
Good call!
Whoa! I have never thought about those individuals in these positions. But when putting the names with the positions, and their expertise…snap!
Thank you, Sundance. Blessings.
Perhaps now take a few moments to imagine the list of names with positions President Trump has compiled since he has access to names that wouldn’t be known to even the most diligen and good hearted of outsiders
Is there a good reason why the FBI cannot just be eliminated? I personally do not think it can be reformed.
The FBI is the National Crime Syndicate. The Mob. Brought in-house from the crime world. More profitable and less risk when you run national rackets and control the police.
https://www.nationalcrimesyndicate.com/apalachin-meeting/
This. This was the basis of The Godfather meetings of crime families, many other mob films. The Apalachin Meeting. How to divvy up the crime rackets and profits among the crime families in a way that keeps the peace among them.
And they’ve expanded to international crime. The Global Crime Syndicate. China’s top crime families, UK’s, Germany’s, all of them. Divvying up the global crime rackets and profits among the global crime families in a way that keeps the peace among them. War is when a crime family from a nation breaks the peace among other global crime families.
But 1st….McConnell and his ilk need to go the way of the dodo bird.
Here is a Mike Benz post that aligns with what Sundance has been educating us about–everything DC and the agencies, bureaus, department, etc is about concerns protection of the INSTITUTIONS.
Both the Dems (and the GOPe when they are brave enoughto talk at all) and now Brazil talk, “democracy, democracy, democracy. Here, in a short presentation is Mike Benz delineating the difference between our use of “democracy” and their use of it.
There is, of course, a movement afoot to trash the Constitution. Of course there is… because the people wanting to redefine “democracy” know what we know: the Constitution gives supremacy to the individual, not to a group of any kind, just to the individual.

Wiki/Zacarias_Moussaoui > hijacker #20, arrested by Minneapolis FBI agents Coleen Rowley and Harry Samit on Aug 16, 2001. Ordered not to interrogate, seal his laptop. Robert Mueller was sworn in Sept 04, 2001 and a week later the Twin Towers were vaporized by “Unequivocal 9/11 Nukes” (VeteransToday.com)
Wm Sessions resigned on July 19, 1993 following disclosure of audio tapes of FBI providing van, explosives and cell phone detonator for the North Tower bombing on Feb 26, 1993. The FBI took over the NTSB investigation of the July 17, 1996 missile test that destroyed TWA-800.
This rogue agency has had a century of treasonous criminal activity.
Even the arrest was probably a set up, for occult purposes.
They ended up with how many hijackers?
19? On 9 11?
Imagine that.
