Many people were thrilled with the nomination and eventual confirmation of Kash Patel to be Director of the FBI. However, with decades of researching the political weaponization of the FBI and against the known capabilities of the nominee, we were not part of the thrilled group.
The non-pretenders looked at the challenge, contrast the scope of work against the skillset of the person selected to confront the institutional corruption, and warned people there was more reason to be apprehensive than optimistic.
Do you remember us outlining how the various FBI field offices would be keeping Patel/Bongino tied up with busy work, and stuff to go on TV about.
That said, we don’t want him to fail, but Director Patel has walked himself into a gauntlet of consequence that will be difficult to exit given his lack of discernment – evidenced in the events surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The people in control of FBI field operations (not Kash), set up their agency head by informing the boss a suspect was in custody.
The ever focused on public opinion, Director Kash Patel, then took to Twitter at 6:21 pm on September 10th to relay the news. According to media reports Patel was just about to eat dinner at a swanky New York City restaurant when he sent the text message.
We all watched it unfold.
[SOURCE]
After eating dinner at Rao’s, an embarrassed Kash Patel was then forced to retract his public statement, walking back his message that a suspect was in custody at 7:59 pm, a little over 1.5 hours later.
The FBI field operatives smiled. Egg applied as expected, it worked brilliantly.
Kash Patel couldn’t then turn to those who set him up with too much anger, because their defense was, “we were questioning a suspect, we didn’t tell you to go public with it – and as it turned out the suspect was cleared.”
It was a brilliant maneuver, likely intended to undermine his authority and position. It worked perfectly.
Did you see Kash Patel’s face the next day when he eventually did arrive in Utah and didn’t say a word at the microphone?
.
National media and DC political opposition now runs with the “incompetent” narrative, albeit rightly deserved but for other bigger matters, and the leadership structure of the FBI is weakened.
The institutional elements in control pulled off a great hit. Well played FBI bad guys. Well played.
Perhaps, just perhaps, Director Patel will shift his position and recognize the scale of opposition inside the institution he keeps praising. [Although I doubt his ego will allow him to reset.]
Kash Patel has essentially neutered himself by falling prey to the most transparently obvious ploy of the intel operatives within the institution.
Now, the media has a narrative to enhance, and Director Patel is scheduled to be questioned in the Senate later this week. What comes next will be entirely the result of his own self harm.
Those Machiavellian FBI guys are cruel.
Every adverse operative within the FBI will be back channeling specific investigative information to the Democrat inquisitors in advance, so questions can be specifically formatted.
Whether he can see it or not, FBI Director Kash Patel is being set up by his own agency in collaboration with the Senate guards in DC.
Unfortunately, Kash Patel is now in a defensive mode trying to promote his image over the past 24-hours by retweeting positive articles about him as written by the sources he uses to deliver information, John Solomon (Tick-Tock) and Brooke Singman (Fox).
It’s all quite transparent, and simultaneously a hot mess. “The more he spoke of his honor, the faster we counted the spoons.”
I’m not sure if President Trump can see it unfolding, or if President Trump is simply trying to support his FBI director and simultaneously avoid collateral embarrassment. Either way, given the fortunate situation where the father of the assassin secured his son and turned him into police, President Trump is supporting the successful outcome.
There is a sense of familiarity, a feeling similar to NSA Director Mike Waltz, about it:
.
Understand and accept this with great seriousness, there are no honorable “rank and file” inside this organization. Every member of the FBI is a participant in the weaponization of power and government. The members are jackboots recruited from ideological college campuses for exactly the purpose of supporting a Stasi-like police state.
Through the past several years, we have discovered how the FBI worked inside Twitter, Facebook and social media to control information, remove content and manipulate opinion on behalf of the U.S. government – all activity political. We have also learned the FBI took active measures to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop and control any negative consequences for the Biden regime – again, political.
These are not disputed realities.
The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are now political institutions that have abandoned their originating mission in order to become the domestic equivalent of the Soviet-era FSB. Their joint targeting mechanisms have been redesigned to support the interests of corrupt DC politicians, specifically the interests of DC.
Tangentially related: (1) What’s the status of the DC pipe bomber case? And (2) are the 40 FBI agents who worked on the Mueller investigation, still employed?



Gosh he was neutered quickly.
One can only hope he has a few trusted close allies. If so, start a scorched earth campaign. If not, let Trump gracefully find a Patton to go through the FBI once and for all. Failing that, shut ‘er down!
Would be a good excuse as to why it needs to be shut down.

Bank robbery…FBI hostage situation

Never compromise, dudes !
For some strange reason this thread got me thinking about the Night of the Long Knives and wondering what sort of internal conflicts and power grabs must have precipitated that action.
Many books have gone over the night of the long knives and what proceeded. The key point was that Hitler didn’t need approval from anyone to carry out a purge. That is very much unlike the situation in the United States where to fire anyone in the US government implies going through numerous court fights.
One set of s’gaf getting rid of another set of inconvenient s’gaf

Kash Patel apparently does not have the experience or intellect for this job. Any mistakes he’s made are the result of his own self-promotion, rather than buckling down, learning what he needs to do, and earning some respect. Who told him to go running to the media (and what was he doing in NYC.)
.
At least he wasn’t in Las Vegas.
Mandalay Bay
Las Vegas is his home town, Nevada his home State; what the heck?
That we know of. Vegas is not far from far from Orem when you have a private jet
remember when kash was on Fox and he said, referring to Charlie, “I will see you in Valhalla”? Juan O’Saven said Valhalla is a witness Protection Program.
Here’s what Valhalla really is part of…just do a google search for Odin and you’ll find:
Odin is the king of the Aesir and a major deity in Norse mythology, also known as the “All-Father” and god of wisdom, war, and magic. He sacrificed one eye for knowledge from the Well of Mimir, rides his eight-legged horse Sleipnir, and is accompanied by ravens Huginn and Muninn. He wields the spear Gungnir, which never misses, and is associated with the hall of Valhalla, which receives heroic warriors who died in battle.
Search Valhalla and you’ll find:
.A majestic hall where Odin receives the souls of the bravest fallen warriors.
FWIW, the “See you in Valhalla” reference was an attempt by a clueless Cop-Buff, to appear as a hardened Veteran.
Valhalla being the ol’Norse heaven for Warriors, who’ve died in combat. The phrase is widely used among today’s Veterans. . .
Between Kash and the Governor’s “We got ’em“, the entire Presser turned into a Get-a-Load of Me, political commercial.
Not exactly the proper tone, given the gravity of the homicide. . .very amateurish!
Juan O’Saven has been wrong about everything that has ever exited his mouth. His name is literally a play on words to the number ‘107’, significance of this nugget escapes my mere mortal memory in this moment. He is literally to facts, what UAP/UFO whistler blowers are to spilling secrets, full of shit/lying. Poor Charlie is deceased, the person who they have in custody is only in custody because the public forced it. The FBI’s release was over an hour behind the online community which I suppose is better than average.
He never should have gone to Utah. Completely not his job at that point, maybe later (to congratulate non-FBI agencies on their good work and get off the stage.
It’s not unheard of that an FBI director has gone to get a suspect.
Howie Carr spoke about that the other day.
Maybe some folks were to get an you know what reaming and justly deserved
I would have preferred he was in Utah rather than Rao’s
Why do the democrats who are in the minority get to call the tune concerning what the congress waists our time on?
First Epstein, RFK jr, and now this.
They sure are good at running out the clock when the GOPe are “running” things.
Pam Bondi?
Affirmative action in action. Disfunctional
Egregiously
Incompetence
I think he was in town for the September 11th ceremonies, I know ADFBI Dan Bongino was there.
So they were able to per-Diem a meal at Rao’s 😉
Being sabotage by the 50,000 special agent holdovers from the deep state was inevitable for anyone put in that position. We all knew the FBI needed to be abolished, but that is not possible yet. Courts won’t even let President Trump fire people for cause. We need to change that before we can expect bureaucracies like the DOJ or the FBI to perform even minimally.
I thought 10 years ago that the FBI and most of the DOJ should be disbanded. But alas, now reforming that crowd is going to be brutal, if not impossible
.
Once upon a time as an inhouse counsel, I was a “hatchet man” who sold off divisions and put thousands of people out of work in a large company that was taken over. And so I know this: no one who has attained his position through popularity and connections can possibly do that kind of job.
I am confident that Trump also knows this, and that Patel was not hired to dismantle anything (place holder? please the constituent MAGA? get a safe loyalist in position rapidly through confirmation?)
.
Interesting point.
Are you any relation to Willard?
Agree & did similar things during my early career. It was once said to me by top management ” just think of yourself as the hull of an icebreaking ship, yes you’re taking the blows but the ship is behind you”. Nobody like Patel who wants to be liked will ever be able to plow through an entrenched organization to create the changes necessary.
It didn’t matter who Trump or anyone else put in as director. 50,000 holdover deep state operators are the special agents who really run the organization. I warned when Jeff Sessions was appointed at a DOJ that he wouldn’t be able to get lunch at the DOJ cafeteria unless the permanent employees wanted him to. Who is director does not matter until you can replace the organization as a whole.
The key problem is that President Trump cannot abolish the FBI single-handed, especially because we do need some kind of investigator agency at the federal level, and he would not be permitted to found a new one with new people
JMO.
“Defending Kash Patel from Himself”? …….. if you must.
Many think we are past the point to call: Time’s up.
Bondi, patel and susie, their administrative state handler, have wasted enough of President Trump’s time.
Something must be done to get the DOJ and FBI critical prosecutions back on track.
Bondi and patel are falling behind in their responsibility of fulfilling the Constitutional right of a speedy trial for all defendants.
President Trump must do something within the Executive Branch to resolve the backlog.
To relieve the investigative and prosecution backlog in the DOJ / FBI, President Trump will simply leave all of the day-to-day DOJ / FBI work with bondi / patel.
That would include supporting Tom Holman’s deportation effort and any of the multiple “sanctuary state and city” cases that she will be handling across America, such as cleaning up DC.
President Trump would then transfer all of the workload for the DOJ / FBI “treasonous crimes” cases (listed in the following comment) to the Department of Defense, under Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Pete would handle all of the investigation, prosecution and execution of sentences for those cases, per President Trump’s instructions …. all within the Executive Branch, but out of the corrupt DC court system and corrupt jury pool.
Note: President Trump has already done this type of resource shuffling multiple times since 1/20/25. The latest being this month:
9/4/25 “Federal News Network”
“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this week approved a plan to detail up to 600 military lawyers to the Justice Department as temporary immigration judges — an effort aimed at easing a backlog of roughly 3.5 million cases that has grown in recent years.”
All moves were done within the Executive Branch … since President Trump is the Executive Branch….. lock / stock / and barrel … he can shuffle work loads and duties within the Executive Branch, as he see fit.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
The DOJ / FBI “treasonous crimes” cases:
These crimes were spread over a decade and make up the crux of the democrat / RINO’s coup d’état against our Constitutional Republic and President Trump.
The 4 groups are:
(one) Stealing the 2020 Presidential Election
(two) 1/6/21 Congressional coup d’état – illegally declaring biden as the winner of the fraudulent 2020 election (see the Branson Brother’s supreme court case).
(three) Five year continued coverup of their criminal, treasonous, conspiracy including the weaponization of the federal government against Americans.
(four) Election interference of the 2022 primary and 2024 general presidential elections, including the enabling of the attacks on President Trump.
Firing patel and bondi has to be a quick followup action for President Trump along with firing the thousands of blden carryover thugs in the DOJ and the 3-letter departments. It will come after the critical cases are transferred over to Pete in the Department of War.
One step at a time. If we get it so he can fire everybody in DOJ and FBI in the next two years, I will be overjoyed, but somewhat surprised.
And NO ONE ever pays the price. Boy, do we ever need the Brunson Case!!
hopinow,
Thanks for the comment.
Since you brought up the Brunson Brothers, patriots first class:
When the democrats, who ran the House of Representatives in 2021, illegally certified the biden / harris ticket as the winner of the fraudulent 2020 election, who were the representatives, senators and Executive branch members who signed the illegal certification document?
______________________________
The list will live in infamy for bringing the USA so much grief and destruction for the next 4 years, ending with the 11/5/2024 election.
______________________________
The Brunson Brother’s lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court listed them.
______________________________
Some may not be familiar with the illegal certification lawsuits brought by the Brunson brother’s over the past 4 years. They were brought up to the Supreme Court.
Their cases are based on some members of legislative branch and the Executive Branch not following their oaths to investigate the 2020 election in the 1/6/2021 proceedings. Below is the statement of the first case filed:
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
This action is against 388 federal officers in their official capacities which include President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr, Vice President Kamala Harris, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and former Vice President Michael Richard Pence (“Respondents”). All the Respondents have taken the required Oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and as such they are liable for consequences when they violate the Oath of Office.
Respondents were properly warned and were requested to make an investigation into a highly covert swift and powerful enemy, as stated below, seeking to destroy the Constitution and the United States, Respondents purposely thwarted all efforts to investigate this, whereupon this enemy was not checked or investigated, therefore the Respondents adhered to this enemy. Because of Respondents intentional refusal to investigate this enemy, Petitioner Raland J Brunson (“Brunson”) brought this action against Respondents because he was seriously personally damaged and violated by this action of Respondents, and consequently this action unilaterally violated the rights of every citizen of the U.S.A. and perhaps the rights of every person living, and all courts of law.
The Brunson brother’s 2020 election fraud cases listed the specific members of the legislative and executive branches who didn’t follow their oaths. Below is the list from the first suit. You will recognize many of the names.
PARTIES TO THE PROCEEDING
Petitioner Raland J Brunson is an individual representing himself and is a Plaintiff in the trial court.
The following 388 Respondents are a party to this action as defendants in the trial court:

I would have liked to have seen the agents sent out across the country to make themselves useful but then realized he would be sending the contamination across the country and we don’t need that. You can’t even fire them all and start over. Contamination goes somewhere.
I would have them transferred to the least desirable field office and they can scrub the toilets.
And the counting staples duty
“Tangentially related: (1) What’s the status of the DC pipe bomber case?”
That right there should be the #1 item on Kash’s agenda.
Why?
Because, it is the predicate for Pelosi to call Congress into alternate process based upon emergency conditions. This alternate process allowed Pence to secure the election results for Biden and avoid any investigation by the states for electoral malfeasance.
It was, in a nutshell, an insurrection instigated by a fake T event, set up by insiders who to this day remain protected.
Pull on that thread, and everything and everyone gets revealed.
The pipe bomb hoax seems like the ideal thread to pull. It unveils a stunning amount of corruption that can be packaged in a way to capture public awareness.
How about release all of the Strzok – Page texts Chris Wray promised us?
Kash has my total support. You folks are being unreasonable. IMO
No Tom, we see the scale of the crisis and the clock.
We also see Pete, Tulsi and Bobby Jr. doing very good jobs.. Pete especially- everyone said he didn’t have the experience to manage that budget and yet he’s done very well.. he may not have, but he’s sure figured it out.
This is what we’re looking for because now that they assassinated Charlie, things have gone from bad to worse.
I agree. People are upset and frustrated. It’s been a tough couple of days losing, Charlie.
SD points out the utter corruption of FBI – it will be a tough job for anyone cleaning out that rats nest.
So counter productive to repeat leftist talking points.
Being set up is hardly new in the environment of the Deep State and cannot be attributed to the target.
Patel walked in to literally thousands of high profile (urgent) investigations being demanded and started.
He deserves the faith Trump put in him and the time to gather evidence and drop the boom .
Thank you. The trolls are so heavy sometimes I think I’m the only one who understands the situation.
He needs a senior advisor, a teacher. He needs someone who knows the DC machinations, who trains him, and who views the left as the enemy of all that is good and decent.
What is Rudy Giuliani doing these days?
Stephen Miller would clean up the FBI in a week. Re-assign Patel and hire Miller or Gaetz
Yes on Stephen Miller, how many jobs can he do?
Lets find out.
Definitely not Gaetz. Democrats knew about his trips overseas with underage interns long before Republicans heard about them. Yet they said nothing. He was compromised. And that is why Trump dropped him so quick, but fought all the way for people like Hegseth and Gabbard.
Recovering from a recent auto accident.
I forgot that.
Rick Grenell has been sidelined by infighting.
Harmeet Dhillon is sharp.
What Rudy is doing is recovering from a broken back from the car accident he just had.
I think he is still trying to regain his health. And I think he is not at his best anymore. Patel could consult him sometimes, but I don’t think he can play an ongoing role
Rudy was at Ground Zero, for the September 11th ceremonies in a wheelchair and he looked haggard. . .
So then who does have the intellect and experience to do the job?
I have a suggestion….how about Big Balls as all it will take is some balls to tell every single agent that they no longer have a job or any kind of clearance.
I suggest him because Tulsi is busy.
Sidelined street fighter Rick Grenell?
Sidney Powell – interesting she’s off PT radar. Buried by the swamp?
As I posted earlier today, Grenell’s conversation with Kari Lake revealed a man that has had enough of DC and is ready to have others have their turns.
Kash should start packing up his things.
He lied under oath during his confirmation hearing. He said he did not know Stu Peters even though he had been a guest on Stu Peters’ show eight times. Rather than own it and minimize any relationship, he lied. The internet does not forget.
Cory Booker asked him if he knew a list of about 4 or 5 persons. Lied again. One of those persons was Erika Knight, his PR person.
Kash lies.
He has gotten himself, Trump, and the FBI sued for recent firings that were not handled properly. He could have exiled those guys and gotten them out of the way while papering their files. Instead, he embarrassed the boss, Trump, by saying that Trump told him to get rid of the perceived political enemies inside the FBI.
Never embarrass the boss.
IMO, Kash will be very lucky to hold his job for more than another six months at the most.
It is the courts, not the lack of intestinal fortitude, that has stalled getting rid of the 50,000 special agent deep state operatives in the FBI. Even if they let him fire them, it would take Congress to reestablish another agency to do federal investigations. And we definitely need someone to do federal investigations to solve the problem of fraud in elections, and all the fraud involved in the Russia, hoax and other recent events and dirty dealings. We haven’t even seen a decent investigation of Thomas Crooks, who shot Trump at Butler.
And by the way, I know that cannot be done right with the current mob in the FBI.
I suspect he is being undermined from within. He is going on what is being reported to him. Why would they hold the photo of the real suspect for 12 hours? I compare him to Comey and Ray and thank my lucky stars.
I think your general idea is correct, but I know it is standard to try to use photos first with the people most likely to know who the suspect is, which initially looked like it would be students at that university. I’m sure police and FBI were interviewing lots of people there. That avoids getting thousands of calls from people who think it’s someone they know or someone they saw at the train station two weeks ago, or the airport in Somalia, etc.
Savage wondered if the #ProfessionalRepublicans did this to drive turnout, but they prefer to lose “elections”. Paradoxically, it keeps them in power.
Why are we believing anything the FBI says? I don’t. The Feebs are a Terrorist Organization. There have been no mass purges. They have been targeting PDT for 20 years at least and practicing Sedition for even longer. I’m sure the President has good reasons for not publicly confronting them, just as he does not yet confront the CIA for conducting Rogue Wars, dealing opium and trafficking children.
My default position is that they are directly behind the Trans Gun Moll-Industrial Complex, or at a minimum, working behind the scenes to protect their Twisted Allies.
The corruption is too deep to be solved by man, but it will be solved, for Judgment is Coming soon and suddenly. The Lord Himself has said so, and repeatedly, Hallelujah!
Fear Not!
Zephaniah 3
17
The Lord your God is with you;
his power gives you victory.
The Lord will take delight in you,
and in his love he will give you new life.
He will sing and be joyful over you,
18
as joyful as people at a festival.”
The Lord says,
“I have ended the threat of doom
and taken away your disgrace.
19
The time is coming!
I will punish your oppressors;
I will rescue all the lame
and bring the exiles home.
I will turn their shame to honor,
and all the world will praise them.
20
The time is coming!
I will bring your scattered people home;

GREAT & TERRIBLE DAY TIMELINE REVEALED with BO POLNY–Carolyn Dennis
A 24-hour Day, to the second; Great for His Children, Terrible for His enemies!
Rest in the Vine: Jesus First!
Keep in mind, every manager, assistant manager and many lower management types in the FBI were groomed and promoted by Garland/Barr/COMEY. How much do you trust them?
I don’t.
Every FBI agent has an undergraduate BA BS and many have Masters or law degrees. Meaning products of 16 to 20 years of intensive progressive brainwashing in the anti White race anti American communist public school and college system. What can one expect?
Yes. Replacing two or three people at the top does not reform an organization with 50,000 desperate Deep
State operatives doing the legwork.
I have been in that situation twice in my life, and you cannot check every single thing they tell you every time. Whoever twisted the language in talking to Patel this time burned themselves. Usually, they will only do that for a larger prize than a momentary embarrassment. My bet is that they are desperate to get Patel out of the FBI and had no other bettershot available at the time. They are definitely seen a troll offensive at Gatewayb and Breitbart to get rid of Patel.
There is no defending Kash…..
Because there is no defending the FBI….
Patel’s “new in the job” window has passed. He owns it all now.
If there are still problems (and there are) he owns them.
If there are still DeepState moles (and there are plenty) he owns them.
If there is subversion running unchecked in the ranks he owns it.
Patel was still cheerleading for the “great law enforcement” job during his press conferences.
Great job? They successfully took into custody a perp who was walked in to the police station by his dad.
The only thing I see the FBI has done to help break the case was to release the surveillance-cam photos of the perp.
BUT those photos were withheld from Patel by the field agents from the SLC office for 12 hours!
Were those pictures withheld so Patel would not immediately recognize that suspects in custody #1 and #2 looked nothing like the surveillance photos? Was suppressing the surveillance pictures part of setting Patel up to look foolish?
Hopefully Team Trump will appoint a Special Prosecutor as part of a RICO investigation, and bring in E.Musk & his DOGE team to unravel this conspiracy. I have zero faith unfortunately in KPatel.
That’s odd, because I have zero faith in Elon Musk. I think he is financing a lot of the trolls. He is still offended about his sendoff.
If you want to change things, change people. Kash has not done this, which is a critical error for someone appointed as a change agent.
And Bongino is playing along.
They both look scared.
yes they do!
Bongino knows how hard it is to fire an FBI agent.
I read a supposed leak of his conversation after the first suspect was released, and Kash said something to the effect this isn’t amateur hour. He thinks the setup was just a mistake; doesn’t know he’s being played.
Kash has an ego problem, which clouds his discernment. He likes being the beloved king of the FIB, and he doesn’t see the treachery. Or doesn’t want to.
No serious law enforcement individual would be eating at Rao’s after this incident. No one made him attend that dinner but himself.
It is tone deaf.
Like Condi Rice shopping in NYC during Katrina. Not that she should be doing anything in NOLA, but don’t give the enemy ammunition.
Poser? Why dies he live in Las Vegas when he heads up the FBI and ATF?
Impressing his girlfriend?
Apparently his girlfriend lives in Tennessee, not Las Vegas.
Kash shares a Las Vegas address with a guy who is a big Republican donor.
Many of us said it needs to be burned to the ground and the earth under it salted so nothing can grow there again.
But, the Deadly Sin of Pride strikes at many levels in this administration, as with all, as with the entire District. When you’re Kounterfeit Kash you become an easy mark to dupe.
Perhaps, he is only stunned initially by the depths of depravity arrayed against him? Have any of us had to deal with such sliminess? Give him time. Even PDJT45/47 had a learning curve when it comes to the perfidy of the left.
Director Patel you know what has to be done, you know that action is expected of you.
Do not get sidelined by your employees.
You are the boss.
Clean that mess up !
You have the power.
God Bless
Many people were thrilled with the nomination and eventual confirmation of Mike Johnson…Just wondering why we didn’t do the same deep dive analysis on him. At least with Patel one could argue he’s just an incompetent dufus but Conservative frauds like Johnson and many others like him who escape scrutiny lie out of their arse intentionally.
It is very true that Mike Johnson is not completely on our side. But Trump understands something about who the RINOs are and who they serve that we don’t know noticed that he wanted to keep Kevin McCarthy, who had also not been good. Trump knows he has to make a deal with them, and we don’t even know why. But Trump has picked for McCarthy, and more lately Johnson because he gets a better deal with them than he would get from some of the other RINOs, and again, we don’t know enough to even know why!
Besides that, the Speaker of the House is elected by the members of the House, not a presidential appointee.
I’m not sure I agree with the whole, “ Rank and vile.”
Conservatives seem to forget how organizations work. We’ve been allowing whistleblowers to be hounded out of these organizations for years. All of a sudden we’re just absolutely shocked when no one wants to come forward.
It was the workaday FBI folks they gave Powell The third version of the FD302. They also pushed back when the Alpha Bank scandal was being pushed. For whatever reason we seem to have a hard time firing the folks that abused their position. Until that changes things won’t get better.
I am not completely sure that you are right, but you bring up a good point
I knew this would happen. The FBI is too corrupted, and God Forbid someone come and try to change it.
That is the heart of the problem. But it is the whole federal government that is corrupted like that. Conservatives rarely want to be bureaucrats. To well-intentioned leftists, that seems like where they can do the most good cause they think good comes from government. For the evil and cynical left who love power or just destruction, it is also the most amusing place they can carry out their entertainment. ImagineHeath Ledger‘s Joker multiplied by 2 1/2 million.
Normie Democrats see government jobs as prizes. Regular W-2 employment in the government is perceived as stable.
Kash has been lacking. So has Pam Bondi. Things won’t change if POTUS doesn’t change leadership to END the institutions as they exist today, it’s going to get uglier.
Kash- your friend got assassinated and you’re playing patty cake with the very body who will cover for the lefty organization that won’t allow you to bring justice. I am FED UP!
DOGE and a $2 Trillion deficit give them perfect cover for MASS LAYOFFS.
Layoff the crooks, Democrat insiders, the dim, the DEI hires… and bring in MAGA people.
Where is this MAGA database of new Trump loyalists we were promised?
People are Policy.
President Trump knows the Wall, border, deportations, trade, but his DOJ and FBI are coming up short.
Am going to assume this is at least a two-step, perhaps three-step operation by the insiders, Patel is the first target, next will be Bongino with the special crown of them sidelining Bondi.
The only question is, are they going to go for the trifecta wrapped up in this one case.
and if they do, in an odd way, that is to MAGA and President Trump’s benefit if he can then insert people not in love with the bureau and agency nor the rank and file who are the ones setting the tripwires. That is, if Trump-47 can get the right people past congress’ advice and consent role.
CTH sees the issues clearly.
No pretending.
Director Patel must make major changes at the fib, if he wants to stay in charge.
That task may be too big a hill to climb.
The question I have us:
Do we REALLY need an fib????
No
We certainly don’t need a Stasi, by any name.
I think having an agency for investigating federal crimes is an absolute necessity. Marshall service is not really designed for investigations. But the original FBI did not have powers of arrest, they just investigated and handed over information to prosecutors, who would send the Marshalls. To me, the fatal blow was when investigation work on domestic crimes was combined with investigating espionage of various kinds. Law-enforcement work is completely different from intelligence work, including counterintelligence. If you find someone with their hands in the cookie jar, or some underage person’s underpants. You arrest them and put them away for as long as you can in law-enforcement. In intelligence work, your first inclination is to ask yourself. What can I gain from leaving this operation going and just knowing everything it finds out? I’m not the first person to say it was intelligence work that corrupted the FBI but as soon as I heard it, I realized it was a valid explanation. In the 1970s, I realized the CIA was going to be corrupted, or further corrupted, when it was handed work in drug enforcement. That should be a enforcement function purely. I bet the CI made a deal with the Mexican cartels a long time ago, the guaranteed they could continue smuggling people across the border, and drugs, and exchange for making sure no Middle Eastern terrorist came into the US that way. It sounds perfectly like the kind of deal. The CIA loves to make. And it explains exactly why congress was so supportive of illegal immigration even when their constituencies were dead said against it.
Drugs used to enter our country in Samsonite suitcases carried on by white American citizen flight attendants back when they were called stewardesses. They got paid by a white American guy who was running the show.
I cannot recall the names involved.
Well now. I’m thinking maybe “punch you in the mouth” Scott Bessent might do a little better at FBI. Give him a 357 revolver and see what happens.
😂😂. I’m picturing this. 😂😂
Street fighter Rick Grenell?
I hope the new Co-Deputy Director of the FBI coming in will perhaps add the backbones needed to discipline and guide the rank and file.
Let Dan continue with his pet projects he highlighted in his daily show and the new guy does the rest. I am sure that President Trump knew there was a weakness in leadership and therefore added a tough minded prosecutor who knows what he is doing.
Hopefully AG Bondi will facilitate the authority needed to let the man do his job. It can only enhance her career accomplishments.
If Sir Lanced-A-Lot and his boifriend didn’t aspire to be professional gamers they would make great FBI recruits.
Who says they’re not?
I’ll be interested to see the money trail of the boy killer and his toy boyfriend that will be coming…not from the FBLIE..but from people like datarepublican
I’m waiting for the announcement that all UT FBI field office personnel have been fired; Patel was set up, but he’s also way out of his depth as Director. Good guy, wrong leadership role… next
With a who’s who of conservatives hit list now being circulated by the moral rot on the left, a true leader needs to take over asap w the courage to clean house in the FBI…
Godspeed conservatives, christians and patriots
So many have finally seen the truth of how depraved liberals can be. Pray that Patel has finally awakened, too.
I watched in the news conference with Governor Cox, as Cox said it was just the one person, Tyler Robinson, who was the sole actor in the murder of Charlie Kirk, and that they saw no accomplices to look into…Patel shifted his eyes as if to say, “Well, wait a minute now…”
I was hopeful that Patel was going to correct the Traany-loving governor, but he stayed silent. He said nothing. I wonder if he got a treat afterwards for being “who’s a good boy,” and perhaps a pat on his head.
I would HOPE that soon President Trump will ask Patel to “Give him a letter.”
Might as well put AOC as head of FBLIE…same difference.
imho,
there are a lot of threads, leads, and dots to potentially, factually connect and back check – way, way, WAY before making a potential public statement about if any accomplice etc. (which may, or may not affect the potential downstream adjudication(s), if any).
A legal process,
is way, WAY different than political innuendo’s etc.
(or someone’s political desires to want something said, or done…which does not measurably, accomplish much unless one has hands-on in the jobs…).
Some may miss see that as obfuscation.
Others may see it as legal due process. (which j6’rs got the short end of the just us stick, swift miss just us. not good. )
As it is,
the propaganda media only reports what it see’s fit for it’s blind boardroom seat holder$ – and that very often is not good for public souls or whole truths
(of which a lot of public does not know the difference between facts and miss presented fictions).
imho
So, if the field agent just sent Kash a briefing saying we are questioning a suspect and Kash sent the tweet, Kash needs to go.
If the field agent said we got him, the field agent needs to go.
It matters what happened.
Either way, Kash loses nothing with prudence.
Measure twice, cut once.
The bad guys must have Patel scouted pretty well.
They must have had a good reason that he couldn’t help himself announcing they had a suspect instead of being patient and requiring verification .
It is extremely difficult to manage an institution when many of its employees are dead-set against you and want to see you fail. And when the press is eager to trumpet everything that they just did.
But this does not alter my positive opinion of him as a leader of the organization.
If he can’t understand that the rank n file ARE the problem and that there are no good folks in the burro.
He will either learn from this or take a knee like everyone else does.
Very disheartening and something we’ve certainly suspected. Now will you please tell a good, decent man, Kash Patel, and President Trump what you know/suspect, and give them a better chance to fight against it. This information does us little good, but may give our people, what few there are, half a chance. Thank you for doing the right thing.
And who nominated this guy? Right, the President. Bondi with the Epstein files. Patel now with this eff-up. Bongino crying he doesn’t see his family enough. (Secret Service not looking so spiffy, either.) I wish I had a solution but I don’t. This is a creation of his (PDJT’s) own making. DOJ/FBI, two of the worst government institutions–one’s that harmed his 2016 campaign, interfered with his first term, did everything possible to deny him his 2020 re-election, hunted down and threw his supporters in jail. And much more. SMH. The buck stops at your desk Mr. President.
Played like a fiddle. Great insight Sundance. Unfortunately I don’t believe anything the FBI has to say regardless We are at war from within.
Prepare accordingly.
At this point, I’m pretty mad about Bondi, Dan and Kash, they had a turn and now I just want them gone.
No Confidence, it’s really that simple.
I’m removing my consent on these hires.
I just read this article up at ZH that explains the sicko groups that the assassinator was a part of, and how they’ve created a Revolution.. it’s pretty serious stuff that we’ve never seen before.
I consider myself well informed and yet I learned a lot here that I had no idea about, it’s quite alarming.
And given what POTUS is doing, we’re right in being alarmed- he is too.
This is worth a read, it’s not long.
We certainly all need to understand this.
So when I read all this and think about what is going on, we need more Pete, Tulsi, Bobby and Kristie in those positions..
Not the podcaster, the book guy and the blonde TV girl.
Here’s the link for the article, take note of the part about Civil Terrorism that the expert explained about:
White House Plans Security Boost On Civil Terrorism Fears As FBI Investigates Revolutionary Leftist Groups In Kirk Assassination

Thanks for the excellent precis.💯
Patel’s speech after they caught who we are to believe is the killer was way too much patting on the back. He really shouldn’t have spoken at all.
The administration is in a tough situation.
No matter how much I think a change at the top would be great, let’s give these guys all the support we can,
Give constructive criticism when needed and try to get the message out to them.
It’s hard enough fighting the left without resorting to violence, it makes it worse when we start destroying each other.
Tulsi Gabbard is solid. So is RFK Jr.
Harmeet Dhillon is solid. (I realize Sundance doesn’t like her.)
Kash Patel
Similar situation: I’ve worked at a software company where the CEO rushed out code, handed us CDs, and told our marketing and sales crew to disperse them at a trade show in the morning. Knowing our CEO, aggressive, no QA standards, no QA or test staff, we handed out brochures and business cards, no CDs.
Hours later the CEO rushes to the conference, “Don’t hand out CDs! There’s a big problem!”
Patel didn’t have that insight or judgement.
So far, I am liking Lee Zeldin’s work at EPA.
He would have been a good governor for New York.
Wonderful post. I’m retired law enforcement and often worked with secret service and FBI. We called it politically correct then not woke. What a bunch of nerdy White men spouting pro black democrat taking points. Local law enforcement always despised them.
So Patel was given some bad information by his Utah field office. So what? He should fire a few of them. When he testifies in front of Congress that’s all he should say about. Got some incorrect info from the field office, those people have been relieved of their duties. Done.
DOGE and a $2 Trillion deficit give them perfect cover for MASS LAYOFFS.
Layoff the crooks, Democrat insiders, the dim, the DEI hires… and bring in MAGA people.
