I have not been this stunned, surprised, shocked or taken aback since President-Elect Donald Trump announced Matt Gaetz as the next United States Attorney General.
Using his Truth Social account to capture attention, President Donald Trump announces, “Kashyap “Kash” Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
[Source]
As interesting as the announcement is, so too is the wording President Trump selected; not “nominated“, not “appointed,” a simple “will serve as“… Thereby leaving the maximum amount of interpretability available for the consumer of the announcement.
This has to be the most Trumpian announcement in the history of some very Trumpian announcements.
FBI Director Christopher Wray has approximately two years left on his term, and he has not announced his resignation. It should also be noted President-Elect Donald Trump did not say anything about firing Chris Wray, which would be in bad form considering that President Trump couldn’t even entertain the approach until he is officially inaugurated in January.
That dynamic quickly triggered the FBI to respond with: “Every day, the men and women of the FBI continue to work to protect Americans from a growing array of threats. Director Wray’s focus remains on the men and women of the FBI, the people we do the work with, and the people we do the work for.”
One element is certain. By saying, “Kash will work under our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI,” you can be guaranteed Bondi is going to be asked about it during her confirmation hearings.
So, what does all this mean?
I have no idea, and, quite frankly, knowing Trump, I’m not going near this with a 10-foot pole.
Perhaps it is better to wait a little while and wait until someone asks President-elect Donald Trump how exactly Kash Patel is going to “serve as” the FBI Director, and what approach President Trump will take in order to make that announcement turn into a reality.
I’m sure Chris Wray, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell and John Thune will also be watching earnestly to see what President Trump proposes.
The level of ‘splodey heads amid the current and former FBI officials, in combination with the entire corporate media apparatus that circles American politics, are predictably going to be off-the-charts. The apoplexy visible within the Gaetz nomination will pale in comparison.
Enjoy all of it!
Hallelujah
Czar Kash! Loving it!
Prep walk wray……
Could it be?
perp…..
If the alleged CIA can change those in power in a single instant, why can’t the elected President? With less blood.
The prayers of the MAGA nation have brought us this far….. please don’t stop as the battles have just started 😉🇺🇸
Amen. We’re in it to win it! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Patrick Byrnes was SHOCKED at how much corruption he found in DC by the POLITICIANS.
yawnnnnn…….
Beware of Patrick Byrne.
Gaetz is NOT finished.
I hope he is not.
Prayers you are correct!
That made me feel better!
Woohoo!! Go, Kash! Go, Gaetz!! Go, President Donald J. Trump 45-47!!! I’m sure Steve Bannon is wildly ecstatic!!
I’m surprised that YOU are surprised to the extent that you are surprised, though I’m not THAT surprised with this announcement, but pleasantly surprised, especially since Wray has yet to vacate his seat or be removed from it to this point, so the announcement is surprising, sort of, by definition.
He is not surprised by the announcement but about the wording ‘will serve as’.
Love your analysis. 😊😊
I’m not surprised. I’m laughing. 🙂
Nobody knows a child predator like a child predator. Pucker up Wissman
The FBI has not kept us safe from you and your Lawfare friends Weissmann.
Now there’s an EXPERT on the assessment of the FBI Director’s JOB Description!
The Viper of DC.
Looks like the right people are scared to death by this announcement! Ha!!
Trump threw a rock over the Swamp’s fence,… and this hit bad dog barked.
You bet this master-mind of evil is shaking now. It’s come down to “Us, or Them Time” now, .. and they all know it.
If Weismann is against him, that is a positive thing.
Can we start the purge by renditioning this demon to the Hindu Kush?
Or some South Georgia woods. Hogs eat bones, or so I’m told.
True enough…..
Better yet….wild boars
Like they kept those 300 gymnasts safe
And the Boston Marathon, mass shootings, and Whitmer kidnapping plot frame up job
….and the J6 infiltration! Yeah, only the patriots will be staying.
Oh, one more thing — we need to know what actually was going on in Las Vegas at the Jason Aldean outdoor concert? Why was that story out of the news almost immediately. What did you do, FBI?
I think it was an assassination plot, to discredit PTrump, but who knows. I’d love to…
Waco, Ruby Ridge, Bundy, Lavoi Fincum… there are many. Pulse night club, Sacramento Christmas party killings…Las Vegas…
The following “confirmed” Directors of the FBI never had prior experience working for the FBI:
James Comey
Robert Mueller
William Sessions
William Webster
Several “Acting” Directors never had prior experience working for the FBI, including L. Patrick Gray and William Ruckelshaus. Weissmann, as usual, is full of it!
Of course, Christopher Wray never worked for the FBI before becoming Director.
Yeah, we pretty much need to stop paying attention to almost everything they say.
30,000 people need to be fired so that terrorists and child predators are no longer kept safe from us.
Agree. The ideology of 30 years of hiring cannot be fixed, rehabbed or repaired.
Creating a Federal Stasi was always a mistake.
The entire agency is corrupt and we’ve known this since before Emad Salem recorded his dealings with the FBLie back during wtc1; Fredrick Whitehurst; Carol Howe from OKC advance knowledge and countless others.
Nothing should remain or replace it.
“Creating a Federal Stasi was always a mistake” It has always bothered me that a guy can be subject to a charge of murder under a state law, found not guilty, then charged federally and found guilty. This is a corrupt work around to inflict double jeopardy. I am not a supporter of murder, I just use this as an example.
Gravitas?
Think boulder and Wile E Coyote and that’s what’s needed at the bureau….not gravitas give me a wrecking ball please.
LOL!
Andrew,learn to paint!
Or code….maybe the same cell Epstein was in.
ROFLOL!!! What an idiot!!!
Pretty long winded way of saying that you don’t think you have enough dirt on Trump’s choice to run the FBI there, Andy.
From memory, neither Comey, nor Wray ever worked at the FBI prior to becoming Director…
If he had any real understanding of the word “gravitas”, Weissman wouldn’t bleat too loudly…
That “30’000+ employees” estimate aint cast in stone.
Take 20k of them and add them to the 80k new Biden IRS hires and put’em all on ICE — assign the lot of them to Tsar Holman to rid America of the Marxist Dim’s invading, illegal trespassers.
Does that include the Pic of the ones we see from time to time at on this site? Those wankers out front taking a knee?
I wonder how this thing you get when the thorn on the rose pierces your skin, gets a 5 am fbi enema
at his home with cnn, cameras rolling ?
I can’t wait for the day that I never hear that un manly voice of Weissmann and his bff Norm Eisen. Whose spawn are these? 👿
Yeah, Weissman, keep talking tough! They’ll be trimming that 30,000+ employees down to the lean and mean Patriots only!
Grace Chong’s Twitter page is interesting.
Pam Bondi…surrounded?
Yes, get about 10 Special Counsels to do the real work and Pam can be the blonde at the top of it all.
sally: Legally blonde.
Yes, Bondi will be the real “Legally Blonde” AG issuing indictment after indictment.
“Legally Bottle Blonde” is more like it. 😁
Kash – The Ultimate Wolverine
Mmmm no. That would be Sundance.
He has never wavered, to my knowledge. A patriot indeed.
I hope someone has a list (sundance?) of FBI agents up to no good so we can start fast in January.
p.s. While they are being fired Trump could pull their security clearance, their Federal Law Enforcement Commissions, their access to government computers and phones, and access to government buildings.
New term: #FINO
FBI in name only!
Then they can be charged and provided with a deal for turning in those above them for illegal and traitorous acts.
No—no charges, no “deals”, no due process, no lawyer representation, no medical care, no humane living conditions, no decent food, no sunshine. Move them around the country on a whim, so their families don’t know where they are. Debank them ala Joe Rogan’s guest on an earlier post (? name). Harass them/their families. Solitary cells. Pressure them to name names, then renege on any implied deal. Mess with their minds. Treat them just like the J6ers. No mercy. Zero, nada, zilch. Let them languish with no end in sight.
All that’s needed to screw their worlds up is to pull their clearances. Nothing further needs to be done.
I took down some names of culprits of Russia hoax but nit sure who was FBI or DoJ:
Brian Auten
Stephen M, Somma
Joseph Pientka III
David Archey
James Baker
Kevin Cleinsmith
I’ve never understood why former federal employees and Congressmen are permitted to keep their security clearances (and access to classified material) when they could be read in to any particular matter (and ONLY that matter) when their testimony or expertise is required. First on my list to have his or her security clearance yanked is John Brennan, followed closely by Comey, Clapper, Wray, Barr, McCabe, Strozk, Weissman, Mueller and his whole corrupt team, McCord, Eisen, Hillary, Abedin, GW Bush, Garland, Monaco, Obama and everybody else involved in Russia, Russia, Russia or the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
and every red state governor should deny them the ability to carry in their state. example: in Texas, no TCLOS, no LEO authority in Texas.
Cannot comment on Wray’s future as that matter is “THE SUBJECT OF AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION “!
100% !!!
PTrump is dropping the early Christmas gift: if the Uniparty thought Gaetz was a scary nomination…putting Kash in as FBI Director has to be giving the Uniparty nightmares.
Once Bondi and Kash are in place…appoint Gaetz as a Special Prosecutor.
The Day of Reckoning will come, one way or another.
See, Marsha is Loyal to President Donald John Trump and he has her back, too!
If the leaked list was correct, her original Senate Majority Leader vote was not for Scott.
Unfortunately, Thune, Murkowski, Collins, Cornyn and McConnell are not!
She knows how to troll along with him.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! wheeze. puff puff. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sure Marsha..
Say… You’ve been there long enough to have looked for answers with your esteemed congresscritter colleagues already. And you (republicans) had the power of The Presidency, The House, and The Senate.
Why didn’t any of you do it before now?
Sun Tzu something.
Greases the wheels for Wray to leave, supposedly already his plan.
If not, a signal he’ll be fired.
If not, sand in the gears, and Democrats trying to block the first POC to lead the FBI.
“If not, sand in the gears, and Democrats trying to block the first POC to lead the FBI.”
Had not thought of that.
EXCELLENT point.
Hold them to their own standards, and point out the hypocrisy relentlessly.
If it gets to a confirmation hearing for Kash, the democrat party will once again be down there for us. Count on it.
Thomas is a legend.
Justice Thomas outsmarted Biden. Thank God!
Yes, he did.
And Biden and family have been subject to a four year well displayed high tech lynching of their own. It has been spectacular to watch! It was well deserved and long, long overdue.
Career criminal Poopy pants Joe, couch cushion Dr. Jill and crack head son Hunter have been subject to a four-year humiliation display while the Swamp is drained behind them.
Prestidigita-“oops honey I need a new diaper”-tion.
really not hard to do. Biden has long held the title of dumbest senator ever.
God bless this amazingly strong and good man! Not just a man, but The Man!!
This hearing is the moment I became a Conservative and the moment I first despised Joe Biden. I wasn’t into politics back then, but I was spending a few weeks with my parents who were watching this hearing on television; thus I did as well. Watching taught me that Democrats are vile creatures and to NEVER vote for any of them. My “awakeness” was born. God bless Clarence Thomas.
Ya Think?
Just check out CFP and read all the “splodey-heads articles” on this Trumpian Pick.
You thought it was bad with Gaetz? Gaetz was Nursery School Time for the Lyin’ MSM and Deep State musicians.
They will prolly leave Hegseth alone for a few minutes, now that they have Patel to beat up.
I hope Patel is strong enough to stand up to and against what is coming.
He already had a proctological exam when they got secret warrants on him back when he was uncovering Russia Russia Russia.
They got nuthin’
He’s clean as a whistle
It’s pure gold.
Hope it happens exactly as Trump wants it to happen.
And I hope the ROT and corruption of the fbi gets exposed.
Thoroughly.
I’m sick and tired of the lies and deception.
May God use Trump to clean up the corruption, and may Trump use whoever it takes to get it DONE.
I’m sick and tired of watching people die and hearing that “the FBI knew about the suspect” but did nothing about them.
Too busy spying on normal Americans to actually do the job of protecting the country!
“Serve as?”
Meaning, maybe Wray will refuse to resign, but will be by-passed in terms of control of the rotted Bureau as it gets the disinfecting it needs?
Neutered duties and responsibilities authority pulled.
Maybe they can arrest Wray if he won’t leave the building and hold him without trial like , oh, I don’t know, a J6 detainee.
Trump fired Comey and he will fire Wray if needed.
It’s beyond predicable now. The strings are 30 mils and glowing.
I feel joy.
The President brings joy like Santa Claus. Soon we will be asking please stop, too much winning Mr President. We can’t take it anymore.!
But MostlyBad for the Andrew McCabes of the world.
Scared, is what McCabe is right now.
He’s reaping what he sowed.
Heh!
That’s a good sign, thanks Sundance!
Cry Louder Andrew.
Say it with me folks:
“No Man Is Above the Law.”
We can just put that on repeat for the next four years.
Hear that Andy? Not you and not the thousands of child predators y’all have protected since about forever.
Guardians of the Pedophiles, the film’s final scenes, arriving soon.
My favorite Twitter handle ever?
McCabesPorscheOnBlocks
May it be so.
The Orange jump suits are on order.
“The Orange jump suits are on order.”
In my best Dana Carvey voice:
Can you say “Orange Man Bad” there Andy? Sure you can. You’re special.
I can not wait to see these f’ers perp walked to the pen, after they are stripped of all their assets.
McCabe sounds a little too nervous.
As far as I’m concerned, McCabe can never be too nervous.
some people think McCabe has a pretty mouth.
He’s the most hated man that ever graced the NY Field office
“Independent ” means unaccountable.
They are just pretending SCOTUS didn’t hand down US v. Trump.
Reality is about to come crashing in on them.
McCabe is next up for a colonoscopy.
He He!
Maybe they’ll puncture his colon and ….well…nevermind.
I call that “getting Murtha’d”
Call the Whaaaaambulance……
Bwahahahaha
Lawyer up, Andy! 🤣👍🏻
The FBI is part of the Executive branch. It reports to POTUS. It’s NOT supposed to be independent.
Great development!
“Will Serve As” would imply that commitments have been established through negotiations behind the scenes to ensure confirmation.
I just hope Bondi isn’t the Bondo to continue covering up what’s broken at DOJ.
Kash must be unleashed!
💥💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💥💥.
JD Vance had already spilled the obvious beans a week or so ago about Wray being fired when he tweeted that he’d been involved in interviewing potential FBI directors. I doubt that many expected Wray to maintain his job, but maybe Vance forced the issue.
Lots of work in DC for Kash:
80 percent of generals / admirals go to work for DOD contractors upon retirement. 🤔
Here’s the announcement where Pres. Trump demanded the immediate resignation of Wray.
I think Trump knows Wray will be tied up in court or on the way to prison. He may not be removed immediately but someone will have to “serve as” the director until it’s all sorted out.
100% Trumpian 4D chess move. Soft GLoves us with like the Chinese do. Panda Face Bondi and now Dragon Patel
Nice Donald Melania ric Grennell pic
somehow I feel like the heads are not the full story
When I was a kid, my Mom used to tell us:
“Man closes doors; God opens windows.”
Perhaps God is helping President Trump open windows for the MAGA Movement to prevail and overcome the Evil within..
Just a thought…
There is a group on x. called The Christopher Wray Fan Club, run by Tore Maras, former Brennan employee who turned against him, and went independent.
It’s a LOG of all of Wray’s corruption.

PS. I heard her say on her podcast that Q was AI. There were some truths, but it was AI not Pres. Trump, or anyone else.
I pray this brings the hammer down on the criminals who are on OUR payroll.
A good way to start weeding out the Deep State actors in the government is to give them a boss who terrifies them.
Then they’ll leave on their own.
Wish the DOJ and State employees had such a boss coming.
As early as 11 09 24 sources were saying wray is planning to step down before President Trump takes his oath.
FBI Director Christopher Wray reportedly plans to step down before Trump’s inauguration, signaling leadership changes. Credit: Wikimedia Commons
I had read that, too. Wray already has another 7 figure job lined up and is planning to leave along with Garland and dozens of other high ranking FBI and DOJ officials.
Can he do that job working from home? His NEW home in Leavenworth?
Or their summer camp on Cuba.
send them each a “Welles Notice” — that is , telling them they may be involved in a future prosecution, then no one will hire them
Two words … Crossfire Hurricane … speaks volumes and Kash knows all about it … Mark these words.
I wonder if this means something by the fact PT announces Kash ahead of Wray stepping down or PT firing him which has been normal protocol with the FIB Director position??
Does this signal a possible upcoming investigation of someone?
Hmmm………..
If dem’s can push that shadow government BULLSHIT then -by G-d- so can we!!!!
CLASSIC!
Tomorrow morning’s shows should be very entertaining.
I never watch any except Maria, but today, I am recording all of them!
That 4AM message to the media this particular 1 Dec 2024 is gonna be something eh?
Monti,
You got my attention with that (4 AM MSM talking points issued)!!!!
Good for you!
1. From whom do they come from?
Bonus round: where do they originate before dissemination by whom in #1? 👀
Sweet!
This was also part of the statement:
“This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border.”
By “this FBI”, he doesn’t mean the one with Wray at the top.
He said “will serve as the next FBI Director” because he can’t nominate him until he fires Wray, which can’t happen until January 20th. It’s as simple as that. He’s only telegraphing who his nominee will be at that point.
Maybe I shouldn’t be, but I’m jazzed!
I want every body & every one employed by the federal government to be on notice & not have a peaceful nights sleep until 2028, 2032, 2036, hell let’s make it it an even 2040!
Kash not having worked at the FBI is a PLUS. Besides, Weissman has zero credibility about chasing child predators when he stood by an encouraged an open border, and the subsequent trafficking, rape, and torture of little kids, teens and infants.
BURN IN HELL.
Yeah, and Our President Trump also warned this “governor” of AZ before the election about cheating in elections. She might want to hire her own attorney. Kash might be looking at you, lady!
Maybe the reason that Kari Lake has not been offered any position in President Trump’s admin is because he knows that after Kash gets done, she will end up as senator.
Note very carefully the ‘focus’ of Wray in that statement from the FBI:
“…remains on the men and women of the FBI, the people we do the work with, and the people who we do the work for.”
Interpretation – Wray will focus on:
1. protecting the corrupt personnel of the FBI from exposure, removal and prosecutions;
2. Their contractors, sources, and informants from same;
3. Their corrupt IC masters over at Langley and all allied politicians and elites.
And not a damn thing about fighting crime, obtaining justice for victims, providing equal enforcement of laws or cleaning up their act.
The narcissistic hubris of these asshats is FUBAR as well as passively aggressive.
The only question I really have with this announcement is whether Wray will resign or force Trump to fire him? I hope it is the latter to watch him meltdown and cry like a beotch!!
I think Trump might try making an offer that he cannot refuse to help him ‘save face’ BUT, Trump will NOT hesitate to Fire Him or Anyone Else when he sees it’s time and he will do it in his own way; protocol be damned!
“Trump Loyalist”
why let him “save face”???? I will be FURIOUS if that happens. do him like he did Comey, let him get on a plane, then lock his office and take away his IT credentials
I would hope many new fbLie whistleblowers will step forth now. We know they exist.
Crap on Matt Gaetz? Fuss about Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr? Fine, let’s hear you howl and expose you all. Perhaps we can expect more Bondi types when push comes to shove. PDJT is just airing this mess out for the voters before he actually gets in office now. We all know the Deep State is going to try to forcefully saddle him with their people via Senate confirmation. Maybe he’s trying to make it all public now. The real fight may be the Senate seats in 2026.
The President has put out his message early so our Republican enemies can reflect on whether they want to be re-elected over Christmas. We wish our RINOs a Merry Christmas and a Happy Trump year.
Matt Gaetz’s wife tweeted recently “The best is yet to come,”
I’m sure it will be a matter of finding where Wray broke the law, and he’s fired.
Andrew Weissmann weighs in. He had better “lawyer up”:
https://truthsocial.com/@gracechong/113575349388687032
We, Tjhe People, do not have to be afraid of OUR Government anymore.
Thank you!
Luv, luv me some Benny Johnson. I’m going to his YouTube channel right now.
His last words were:
“Who knows what that will mean for the Senate?”
What does he mean by that?
“Our democracy”. That’s a laugh. It is their oligarchic plutocratic kleptocratic kakistocracy.
Sundance,
How about a thread of your top 5 initial investigations you think the team of Tulsi, Patel, Pam, Radcliffe, Scott and Elon should open up if PT wants to take down those who may have conspired to take down a sitting President nd Presidential candidate, to include the ring leaders?
An easy one that nails dozens in the Swamp?
TWENTY SEVEN DOJ attorneys erased their Federal smartphones after Mulegead wrapped up!
27.
That also has to be a Conspiracy. Charge 27 Liberal attorneys. Clean house. Prime facia illegal. No?
Oh wow!
That is so much more important than the original plan to execute a coup on a sitting President via Russia, Russia, Russia by the highest levels of the IC and prior Administration AND the Lawfare of the last 4 years, NOT!!!
Interesting. Let weeping & gnashing of teeth begin, 😂
I can’t wait for the part with the demons & the herd of pigs.
As long as they spare us the rending of garments part. I do not want to see the Swamp creatures in their birthday suits. Yikes!
My oh my! Trigger them and watch them flop like fish out of water!
Isn’t the FBI a part of the executive branch? Hey Chris Wray! How do you like me now!?!?!?
I believe it was started with an EO. Easy peasy to use one to dismantle it!
Some say an EO, others say the Bureau was formed by an administrative order issued by the Attorney General at the time after his plea to Congress to create the agency by statute fell upon deaf ears.
And, speaking of Bondi, she is the compromise. My prediction is that the doj will do nothing. That is, the doj Lilliputians will not tie down Trump with bogus nonsense and Gaetz does not give them a colostomy with a chainsaw.
Everybody holds dirt on blondi. If she acts up either side can eject her but I bet you Trump can ‘temporary’ fill that position for however long he likes. 😉
Well SD, the man , Trump, if nothing else is way ahead of anybody else on the Planet at dropping policy bombs..🤣😂👍.. while we may scratch our heads I guarantee he has a plan to do this his way 🇺🇸💪👍.. I think also I would join you in staying away with a 10 ft pole…
🇺🇸💪😀👍
“Despite sunlight, Sundance may cast shadows..”
What? And who are you quoting?
Is this an attempt at a koan, or Haiku? Perhaps you’d like to expound just a little for those of us on our first cup of coffee.
