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?
Now, Kash Cow Patel can remove those that delivered to him false information.
He has the receipts of those that sent the messages setting him up for a fall
Fight fire with fire and take no prisoners
Remove the poison and inject a proper antidote
Yes, Kash will be hurt by this, but he can rectify the situation
In response to the assertation that they are all crooked and evil, that may well be, and it is time to cut out the cancer. he is in charge of the FBI, he has the authority and the power to have criminals and malcontents removed.
Not to act in revenge, rather to right a wrong.
Kash, throw the book at the ones that threw you under the bus.
Yes and state exactly why people were being let go. If the ones let go want to put themselves, so be it.
He is a GUTLESS individual. He will never get rid of any of these LEFTIST in the FBI. If he wanted to he would have done it already.
Ultimately, you’re right–Kash is GUTLESS. He should have resigned a long time ago. Now he’ll have to be fired in disgrace.
And exactly, who are you that you get to judge any human as gutless? You take a knife to someone’s guts and I think there are 3 miles of intenstines in there.
People ARE what they do – and what they do not do. By that standard, he does appear gutless. The most obvious fact in recent American history is that the FBI needs to be permanently shuttered, or short of that, completely eviscerated. Instead, Kash has been doing his very own James Comey imitation, carrying on as if it’s business as usual and thoroughly enjoying his “exalted” status.
That is not what we voted for, and the sad part is that he knows that. But he is in over his head, and I think he knows that too. I’m just wondering when President Trump is going to know that.
If the FBI is not fixed or eliminated under Trump, it will become a roving monster when he is gone. It will be far worse than it is now. This is the one chance to straighten it out. There won’t be another chance.
Patels own actions have proved him as gutless.
Not just once but over and over.
Men and their egos……
Also, men and their responsibility to be protectors. I have no idea what it is like to be a woman and I have been married to one for about 50 years because she takes care of me and her family and makes our lives better. I love the life she has worked to see us have. But I do know that when push comes to shove I have to try to handle it. That is just who we are and none of us got to tell God we didn’t want the responsibilities of family life and the safety we have to help our country provide.
Most of what you call our egos is just men deciding to do what they think is right. We don’t like to be among men we can’t rely on when that is what is needed. The odds get significantly better when we can. So, we are hard headed where shirkers are concerned.
Which begs the question of that ‘thin blue line’….? Is he one of them?
You (nor I) have any idea what it is like to be put on the throne in a room full of vipers.
They may appear to be at your service, but they are in Satans’s service.
I think Kash is a good man, I pray he is. I certainly think Bongino is.
And I’m glad he (B) was brought in. I think B has a more “front line” experience. He has seen the snake bite.
But Kash, like Trump in 2016, doesn’t/didn’t understand what he is up against.
This episode might be the ticket to expose that fallacy.
Aren’t people in organizations like the FBI, Police Dept. military supposed to be a little stronger than the average guy?
…except they didn’t “deliver false information” to him. They delivered truthfully, “we have a suspect in custody”, but likely knowing he would prematurely go PUBLIC with an announcment, setting up the later embarassment. In this instance, nothing to fire them over. (?)
I am sure each will have the benefit of a union rep…so it won’t happen quickly, JMO.
The real question has to be whether they fed him false information or whether he drew the wrong conclusion over correct inormation. These are not the same thing and it makes a difference as to who gets fired.
I saw a news clip of some African town/city going through civil discord. In an alley all by himself was a fella with a stick in his hand beating on a broken down refrigerator. Im sure he felt better not sure he accomplished anything but that. Reminds me of Kash!
Patel needs to man up or shut the hell up. He is afraid of them, unless he is one of them. He should be neither.
So does Bongino – even more so.
Kash’s mistake may have been right at the beginning. He knew Charlie Kirk and as soon as the news broke he and Bongino should have been on the FBI jet to SLC pronto.
Kash should have sent several FBI agents to the CK event as a precaution and for intelligence. Everyone knows that ANTIFA was targeting CK!
Could have, should have, would have if only he had a third eye Bindi on his forehead.
I didn’t know that.
Did you?
Too many Monday Morning Quarterbacks on this site anymore.
OK I think there are a lot of folks who are truly pissed off so many say they will get stuff done but fail miserably when they get there. Now I certainly do not know the answer as I’ve not been anywhere near something that huge and totally out of control. Kash hasn’t either. He was a public defender then Devin Nunes Clerk now in charge of 40,000 Agents He may be out of his wheel house. On the other hand I bought his Govt. Gangsters the book explains how corrupt it all is I am bewildered at this point.
This really is no different (in my opinion) than men who join the military at a time of war. They had no preparation for it but they are mad as hell at people who are trying to, or are, killing Americans and they want to do something about it. Most of them had little to no training but they were fighting for something important (duty and honor) and they wanted to do a good job. They did not sit around whining about having to go to war – they sucked it up and went. And most of them did a darn good job. They were the real heroes. We won the wars (except for Viet Nam and I give them a pass for that one) nobody should have gone to that war. This is where American men showed their strength, even in Viet Nam. So excuse me for expecting more from these weaklings purporting to be somebody special when, in fact, they don’t even measure up to the average man in our country.
Perhaps you never really retired. Myopic feeble allegories are so pitiful. Get it through your thick skull there are no rank and file FBI “agents” only “operatives” controlled by the ungodly forces behind corrupt and weak individuals.
And that JA is what Charlie Kirk would have said to you. By the way this site as you put it is the preeminent source for potential understanding of the machinations of the absolute horror and evil which lays over this country like a thick fog. Find some other pasture.
The real criminals never go to jail.
You’re an ass.
What is ‘JA’?
Latrine Lawyers,,,,
Including Sundance the all seeing, all knowing. Piling on Kash isn’t helping. He doesn’t have to fire the people who set him up, he can transfer them to a shit post in the middle of nowhere.
I have family in high level law enforcement. I don’t have many answers, but I know that law enforcement groups are a very tight team. The longer the group has worked together the stronger that bond. It is very difficult for an outsider to break into information with a law enforcement group…bill
Correct, instead he was stuffing his gillet with steak 🥩 from a fancy restaurant.
Side note….in my SW of Chicago suburb, the restaurants have removed steak, from the menus…its too expensive.
Why? I wondered from the beginning why the FBI was involved. Unless they go after a multi-state conspiracy of Trannies, I dont know why they are involved.
100%
No. The top man on the scene does nothing but get in the way. The good boss delegates.
What is ‘SLC’?
What happened to turning the FBI building into a museum on day 1?
If you are not going to follow through then expect nothing less than a full scale plot to sabotage you at every angle. Those FBI agents heard the same sound bites. They were insulted and they will never forget or forgive.
Kash has to go scorched earth on his own agency. It’s rotten to the very core. Not just the top level, but every level.
Otherwise it’s simply an inevitable outcome. He will lose.
Ha…I want many in jail !!! However no one will go to jail and that is sad. And when the libs get back in they will take no prisoners. We simply get outsmarted at every turn. Comey, Brennan, Clapper, O”Sullivan, none…none will be held accountable.
Realist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So true …we have heard 0 about Comey or the vast amounts of evidence Tulsi dropped on the FBI, DOJ’s lap. “transparency” Mr. Patel?
(3) Who is Ray Epps? (4) Who was the pipe bomber on the phone with? (5) Who was crooks on the phone with?
Who killed Seth Rich?
Perhaps the FBI went hands-off and all-in on the Antifa organization for all these years, and perhaps further even did some secret coordination behind the scenes, ultimately to use them as their domestic counter-force when the civil war everyone is talking about breaks out.
I’ve always wondered who would act as the resistance to the well-armed conservative MAGA army when the revolution began in earnest. The line between the two sides is becoming clearer by the day.
“Domestic counter-force” lol. Antifa is made up of nothing but communist agitators. They’re almost exclusively made up of young, out of shape, service industry workers who are afraid of guns to begin with. Many are unemployed and live with their parents and many are drug addicts.
Don’t kid yourself.
Timothy McVeigh murdered 168 people using diesel fuel and fertilizer.
When there is a will there is a way.
you really think it was a one man job?
Strange that at this point, after the CK execution, anyone would be here downplaying this particular threat…
What motive could one have for attempting to persuade Treepers that Antifa is harmless?
Take away their protection/friends in high places (spelled FEDS) and you won’t believe how fast they run back to mommy’s basement.
You are kidding yourself by underestimating Antifa. Some are softies but some are hardcore, training seriously, and fit.
Some say many are the kids of very wealthy leftist?
FBI whistleblowers not only told Patel what he had to do to regain control of the FBI, they actually sent him a multi page report detailing the actions he should take and the specific people he should fire. Patel ignored them and now we see the consequences of that stupid decision. Patel is not an FBI insider. Neither is Bongino. Both have no idea of the forces arrayed against them from INSIDE the FBI. Insiders tried to tell them but to no avail. Now those chickens have come home to roost.
Where is the proof,
including a verified background check on the so called ( anonymous? ) whistle-blower
( that should only be talking to a neutral third party )?
Vindeman is that correct?
cue up the crickets chirping at night?
I do not know
FBI’s is a joke. They exist to lie and protect the deep state. John Q is the enemy
Clean up on aisle 4…paging Ric Grenell…I repeat…paging Ric Grenell.
Ric Grenell is ready to quit. Did you see his tearful conversation with Kari Lake? He said he is ready for others to have their turns.
The problem I have with this is,…
If not Kash, Who?
Who should have been the FBI Director nominee?
We all know good and well the uniparty would have called for Trump’s impeachment had he suggested disbanding the FBI.
So, who should it have been.
Who has the LEO AND Legal chops?
See Kevin’s comment above for THE Antidote to the poisonous snakes.
Ric Grenell as neither a law degree nor a law enforcement background.
Considering that, I doubt he ever could have gotten confirmed.
Doesn’t need to be confirmed if appointed as interim. Can hold the position for 270 days. As far as law enforcement background or having a law degree, neither is important for cleaning out the rot and getting rid of the bad actors, as Grenell did with the US Embassy in Germany in the span of about 30 days. But then again, what do I know…except Grenell was acting DNI at one point.
who? I cannot name the person. I could not have named the AG of NE. But I could say what skills were needed and who might have those Skills. Patel would not have been on the list.
Don’t need legal chops……to recognize the rot……there ar many out there. Steve Bannon who is even friends with Patel states something wrong is going on. JMO Tom Fitton could have done the job.
Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County, Florida…
Move Tom Homan over there on a temporary assignment – 30 day assignment.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/06/suggestions-for-president-donald-trump-staffing-of-key-positions-2025/
Your question arises so often that I finally bookmarked the above so I wouldn’t have to search the answer every time.
Some of the best suggestions that I’ve seen to date.
You’re welcome
50 years ago I would have commented, “They really made a monkey out of that Kash fellow”
Today I am just going to bite my tongue.
Sidewalk Superintendents Я Us.
The term “sidewalk superintendent” originated in the early 20th century in North America, referring to onlookers—often older men—who gather near construction sites to observe and offer unsolicited advice, mimicking the role of an actual construction superintendent. Synonyms for “sidewalk superintendent” include armchair critic, Monday-morning quarterback, know-it-all, and busybody.
Thank you. That means I agree with you. Wondering tonight how many of the comments generated here are AI generated?
You might be surprised.
So straight up…….do you think Patel is doing what is needed at the FBI?
“Perhaps, just perhaps, Director Patel will shift his position and recognize the scale of opposition inside the institution he keeps praising.”
Over the past few days since Charlie Kirk was murdered, there have been thousands of lawyers, members of the military of all ranks, a judge, teachers, LEO’s Fire Department personnel, doctors, nurses, college students, professors and more celebrating his murder.
Kash needs to realize his FBI is no different. How many people at all levels of the FBI would post something celebrating Charlie Kirks murder if they thought they were among friends?
I’m done and you will be happier for it. All of the armchair quarter backing. about what Kash Patel should have, could have, or didn’t do when Kash is facing a MUTINY from everywhere and everyone except for but the HOLY SPIRIT! I am surprised at you Sundance as well. Tsk.
Myself, I am praying for him that he can maintain his center in the face of this NEVER ENDING CRITICISM OF HIM!
Tell me please somebody, WHO CAN SPELL OUT EXACTLY WHAT CRIME KASH PATEL HAS COMMITED? BASHING HIM SERVES NO PURPOSE. At least I don’t see it.
So you believe Kash realizes the FBI is no different? And you took that as bashing him?
” WHO CAN SPELL OUT EXACTLY WHAT CRIME KASH PATEL HAS COMMITED? ”
Apparently, for some/many here, it was the crime of being born.
I have to add that President Trump nominated Kash Patel , and in his confirmation hearing Kash held his ground most swimmingly. I’m not about to cash in my chips on him , I don’t gamble on much except whether I am going to have food to eat.
It certainly seems many are in the mode of blaming someone for any and everything that irritates them.
Its way too EARLY to “pin the tail” on Kash Patel as a DONKEY who no longer serves a purpose. The gloves have been off for years now. No one is playing games anymore. Just look at Patel’s predecessor’s. Comey and Wray.
All of them HATED Trump and did their best to do him harm. All on our taxpayer dimes mind you. As far as I can ken, humans might consider criticizing the U.S. government pension systems that allows CRIMINALS to collect a pension when they are Traitors who did their BEST, and still are, trying to overthrowing the WILL OF ITS CITIZEN’S.
This whole scenario is not Kash Patel’s doing. I don’t want to be walking in his moccasins. Please consider whether you would want to be wearing them either before you knock him upside the head as being STOOPID.
You certainly read a lot into what my comment was. I simply suggested he needs to realize his FBI is likely full of the same types of people publicly posting their celebration of Charlie Kirks death.
Or are you suggesting the rank and vile are just peachy?
“blaming someone for any and everything that irritates them.”
Look in the mirror.
In order for our country to SURVIVE, the FBI CAN NOT remain in it’s current state. Does Kash realize this or is he trying to rehabilitate an institution that is evil to it’s core.
Amen to you, and I wholeheartedly agree and am praying for the same. When our own “people” continue to criticize him and everybody else who are trying to do the right thing, it’s hard to take, including Sundance. It’s very sad. I’m an old retired guy too and maybe we should just leave this to the younger know-it-alls.
It should be a sign to you that “even” Sundance is not impressed with Kash (or B either). Sundance is not some unhinged blog writer and he thinks about every aspect of the subject he is writing about. If he writes something on his site you can bet he has researched it and knows more about the subject than we do. You hinted that Kash is “trying to do the right thing.” What, exactly, is the right thing he is doing?
This tells us all we need to know. Not even ONE person is worthy to be arrested – really?
I posted this more than four years ago and I stand by it! The FBI is corrupt and needs to be radically overhauled/disbanded. The first step is to remove it from intelligence gathering. The FBI has had little success in this area to my understanding regarding domestic/foreign terrorists in the country. Further when the top FBI officials are corrupt there is great probability that field agents are also corrupt or corruptible (ignore Hannity) or they will quit when asked to compromise. Agents are recruited from far left Ivy League colleges whose students have already been propagandized by radical leftist professors!!! The FBI was originally established to fight organized crime but has morphed into an organized crime unit itself to fight Democrat foes – Republicans, conservatives and Christians.
My suggestion is to keep and enhance the centralized fingerprint file database and the crime laboratory (CODIS & DNA database). Keep only the agents needed for those functions. The remaining agents can apply for State and local law enforcement positions. The Federal funding no longer necessary for the FBI will be set aside for the States to use only for LE and specifically the hiring of former FBI agents. This country was founded without a Federal police force for good reason. Our Founders in their wisdom knew that a Federal police force would eventually become corrupted by politicians. We are witnessing the corruption of the FBI on a scale never thought possible. The Democrats have corrupted the FBI starting with Mark Felt’s hatred of Nixon, the 500 FBI files found in Hillary’s White House office to today’s surveillance of candidate then President Trump, to the disparate treatment of Jan 6th protesters compared to the Antifa/BLM rioters. Something more than the few terminations and early retirements or demotions that took place before ChiCom Joe stole the Presidency needs to be done! But we all know nothing close to this will ever happen. The FBI will remain a corrupt organized crime unit to deal with the leftist ginned up threat of “white supremacist” terrorists and Domestic Extremists! God help us! Hosanna! JMO
Well you are correct in my opinion.
Agreed. The first step in reform is removing the FBI’s intelligence gathering. A good case can be made in light of abuses.
SAME FBI that sent agents to grandmothers across the USA IF they were ANYWHERE near DC on J6.
Pittsburgh FBI involved in the CK investigation; remember how they closed up the Butler PA. case ASAP?
Nothing but a bunch of Leftist propagandists in the Pittsburgh office.
Those of us on the outside can never understand the workings of a mind on the inside. What seems so obvious to us, isn’t to them. And that’s because of the compromises they have made, the debts they owe and the perks to which they are bound, none of which blind us to what is there to be seen.
The clock is ticking. If and when the Democrats return to power, night will fall like Kristallnacht. The Republic gets saved now, or probably never.
The only route forward appears to be wholesale disbanding of the FBI and formation of an alternative agency. And damn the torpedoes.
Agree.
There’s more to this than Krash making a bumbling mistake.
Who gave him the disinfo?
Was there a narrative being painted that had too many loose ends and had to be abruptly withdrawn?
Something happened that goes beyond a few or bunch of manipulative rouge agents trying to make Krash look stupid.
Utah has a lot of nefarious things happening within and outside its borders.
Rug running, other sorts of trafficking, interstate<cough<idaho>cough,cough> as well as international, perhaps?
Crooked politicians <cough<mitt>cough, cough>, Mormon Mafia. . .
Those sorts of things don’t exist and thrive without corrupt law enforcement.
Whatever happened to Charlie Kirk wasn’t on account of some lone nut with a furry boyfriend.
There had to have been others involved.
Looks like the operation went sideways and people are scrambling to wrap it up quickly while minimizing fallout.
That’s why the narrative is so outrageous and makes little to no sense; why the governor sounds like a tv preacher trying to sell Sham-Wow in a pig sty.
It’s not time to call for Patel to be dismissed, not right now.
More facts need to come to light.
0.o
This administration needs to get to work on dismantling the Deep State, & rapidly. The fate of our country hangs in the balance. Almost a year in now, & nearly zero progress has been made on this goal.
This assassination had better serve as a wake-up call.
Yes, the fact that Trump is not in charge of the CIA should be a loud warning to somebody. They could easily get us into a shooting, bombing war all by themselves. Then what?
If I were Kash Patel, I would declare the all insubordinate agents have been fired. Internal investigation is ongoing.
Have to get to work on shutting down these Marxist education indoctrination centers. How can we let this festering sore continue to poison & brainwash our country? Why do we tolerate this nonsense?
The question remains, “who is setting who up”?
If one has not watched the video I posted yesterday one would assume and presume that events unfolding are as they appear,
26 min I will never get back.
Please provide a synopsis?

Thank you 47 !
Naked links are meaningless.
What’s the state of the domestic false flag teams?
What’s the state of the covert harassment and surveillance teams?
What’s the state of the fund dedicated to reenforcing the boxcutters on 9/11 narrative?
Long way to go.
MAGA!!!
You are absolutely right. If fact I think the Utah office used to moment more to setup Patel/Bongino than find the assassin. FBI should be reorganized as a pure investigation agency and use US Marchalls for enforcement. ATF should morph into both Investigative and enforcement wher appropriate. My take.
Ego is a millstone, it grinds and is wholly unsuitable as a flotation device.
The women in this administration are far superior to the men. Overall.
Excluding POTUS and Vice potus of course. They’re an excellent team.
I hope Kash reads this article.
This was Kashs watershed moment and he failed. He just proved without a shadow of doubt he is just another c u next Tuesday.
Kash has a simple out. Don’t answer the Senators’ questions and when the temperature gets too hot tell them you have to leave for an important lunch date. It worked before.
what bothers me about this — is that there is a restaurant (maybe more than one) in WashDC where politicians are hosted by “table owners” . Who else goes there? Who owns the tables? what do they talk about? How come I am 77 yrs old and this is the first I have heard about this? Why isnt there a “journalist” who reports on who eats there every nite?
Those restaurants are just like the mob restaurants.
Privately owned, carefully staffed, like a private men’s club where certain people go to take care of sensitive business.
Who’s to say there aren’t particular ‘journalists’ also frequenting those sorts of places.
Nothing good comes to anyone ratting out mobsters.
All that said, Krash should have better sense than to go up into places like that.
Maybe, he’s investigating or something?
0.o
When Kash has lost Steve Bannon then you know he’s been neutered in his position. It’s all but over for him. I wonder how long this clown show will go on? Same with Pam Bondi.
One of the US Attorneys in Utah who replaced the US Attorney in Utah who went after the physician who gave saline solution to those who didn’t want the jab but were being forced to get the jab was is still in place by Bondi’s DOJ.
Bondi was forced to shut down the prosecution of this physician by Sen Lee and Rep MTG. When the physician met with AG Bondi who was there? The same US Attorney who refused to shut down the prosecution.
Bondi and Patel are tone deaf to the betrayers right in front of their eyes.
🚨 🇺🇸 HOW PATEL & LAW ENFORCEMENT DELIVERED: MANHUNT CLOSED IN RECORD TIME
FBI Director Patel faced one of the hardest tests of any lawman in America.
Charlie Kirk was assassinated, the killer was alive, unidentified, and on the run, and the nation demanded answers immediately.
Patel and the thousands of law enforcement professionals working with him – from federal agents to state troopers to local police – turned that pressure into results.
In barely 33 hours, the suspect was identified, tracked, and taken into custody.
That almost never happens.
History shows that manhunts for unidentified fugitives are usually long and punishing.
Eric Frein in Pennsylvania eluded capture for 48 DAYS after his ambush of state police in 2014.
John Nigh escaped a North Carolina jail in 2025 and stayed free for 16 days before his arrest.
Joseph Allen Couch vanished for eleven days after the I-75 Kentucky shooting before authorities confirmed his body.
Even Frank James in the Brooklyn subway shooting of 2022, operating in one of the most heavily policed cities in the world, remained at large for nearly 30 hours after being identified.
These cases prove that the norm is weeks of uncertainty, not days of closure.
The Butler shooter in 2024 was identified quickly, but only because he was dead on the rooftop.
By contrast, Patel’s FBI and its partners had no shortcut, no corpse to fingerprint, and no easy answer.
They had to grind through evidence, coordinate agencies, and track a living fugitive while the world was watching.
Yes, Patel made a premature announcement, and critics latched onto it, but what matters is that the FBI, the DOJ, the state of Utah, and every officer involved achieved what almost no manhunt achieves: closure in less than 3 days.
That is not just @FBIDirectorKash’s success, but the success of law enforcement working together when America needed them to.
And in the sweep of history, that will be remembered not as a stumble, but as a model of what can be done when leadership and law enforcement rise to the moment.

Putting the killer’s picture out to media was the key point. But isn’t the killer’s dad the one who ended the search so quickly?
I get it they had a trail with the online communication of the killer’s trans group, and they would have eventually got him. But for this article to completely leave out the dad and just pat Kash on the back as if the suspect was instantly tracked down instead of handed to them ?!?!
The FBI was handed the killer with a confession. Putting out the pictures was not some clever strategy. It was routine and obvious.
and all they had to do to get the pictures was collect the contents of surveillance cameras. Then did a little searching of the area and Viola! the gun.
Now if Cox and Patel dont poison the well, maybe there will be sufficient evidence to get a conviction. Cox is doing all the damage he can.
Patel should be looking into conspiracy of Antifa and Tranny.
Cox seems to be a bit light in the loafers and completely devoid of any palpable sign of disapproval. I can’t help thinking he’s got more empathy for the perps in this case than for Charlie Kirk and his family.
Also noted in his Fox interview today, Patel cites a 16 minute interval between when the bullett hit Charlie, and the FBI on the ground were rushing to render assistance. Wondering if they routinely covered Turning Point events??
With apologies if these observations are redundant. My tolerance for information consumption has taken a nose dive as the atrocities are piling up.
Wish the FBI would investigate our politicians and the money funding their lawlessness. The globalist agenda and foreign adventures are totally destroying our nation. Our politicians are the epicenter of our decline. Kash has an impossible job and is a big improvement over the last directors going back to J. Edgar Hoover.
Why was Patel kept in the dark about the images of the killer for over 12 hours? If the shooter’s family hadn’t turned him in, I’m not certain that the FBI wouldn’t have tried to bury those photos to allow him to escape capture.
Yeah that was a tough pill to swallow when Trump had to pick him for all the reasons of politic and power. The dude is just another figurehead like any other of the obsequious. Figuratively speaking, clearly couldn’t pull a sick w**** out of bed.
Oh I’m sorry was that too much? Hm, it’s just that if you take the most controversial figure in the culture who’s trying with all his might to promote reason and a semblance of unity through public debate gets assassinated in front of thousands, I think it’s safe to say it’s beyond suspicion. A society on its last legs with the Pompous knowing full well with zero doubt that he, Charles Kirk is despised and hated by the very lost and deceived people whom he wants to help, decides to regularly
leave him sitting out like a 10 cent target . Oh yeah yeah that’s right I only live in the day by day mental stupidity where I only believe what I hear from the authorities. Those whom I absolutely know I can trust to deceive . Gee where have we seen this before?
Focusing on where a man had dinner? Really? That’s silly optics. Or really just masked class warfare.
Focusing on an initial rush to judgment without knowing what questions were asked? Really? For instance, did Patel’s communications require a level of confidence or a probability assessment. I don’t know. Neither does anyone posting here. I agree how it played out was not confidence inspiring. Then again, neither was Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files, Hegseth’s management of chat conferences, or PDJT’s hiring practices during his entire first term. This is a recurring problem across multiple executive departments and agencies. The solutions (whatever they end up being) need to be generalized.
I have little quarrel with the notion that agencies like the FBI have been ideologically restructured in the service of larger left leaning objectives. I do, however, believe that the focus ought to fall on the mechanisms more so than the atmospherics of a Patel.
Attack the problem at its sources. Yes, carefully consider the people who sit in the front office. But that’s not enough. Provide these people with a precise set of goals and objectives with markers for success and a timeline. Do we see public evidence of this for the FBI? Fell No!!!
The FBI has had documented hiring problems for years. It has not met its overall manpower requirements across the spectrum for almost all the skill sets modern organizations require: e.g., IT, foreign languages, math, etc. Why is that? How have these repeated deficits been exploited?
The Left (i.e., senior leadership supported by White House executives with ideological agendas) has skillfully manipulated these shortfalls by reengineering the entire recruiting, HR, vetting, promotion, assignment, retention, recognition, firing processes inside the FBI – almost guaranteed this is part of the overall control structure. “Diversity” has skillfully been exploited as a cover all concept for much of this. Peter Sursi (his leadership and his staff) has been quire successful at this. Document it just the same to win the argument. Conjecture isn’t good enough.
examine/document the personnel hiring policies; secure copies of actual policy/requirements; statistically and ideologically understand the changes that have been put in place. In short, come to the fight with all the tools needed to win.examine the ideology itself and directly question whether all of its assumptions have merit; for example it is argued that diversity in the work force is needed to accommodate population demographic changes that have taken place over the last 20 years (a change itself that has been engineered by unrepresentative political forces). Is the assumption valid? Have the facts supported this assumption/contention?Is there integrity in data collection and analysis processes at the FBI?What culture has leadership set at the FBI? That needs to be defined and assessed for legitimacy.What criteria are being used to determine winners and losers, actual decisions over time? Are these actually discriminatory from a political pov? Document all of this – to include retention policies and outcomes.Is setting diversity requirements even legal? If not, find a way to legally hold those implementing such policies liable. Why hasn’t this avenue been explored? This includes assessing how performance evaluation for, say, recruiters, fit into the larger ideological control constructs.Document abandoned traditional hiring processes that were eliminated only for ideological reasons.Document internal FBI “enforcement” practices for personnel policies.Document how the FBI has utilized social media to push its ideological agendas – i.e., shape the field of candidates.Most important of all – analyse and document on the basis of some LE enforcement standard that is itself neutral when it comes to ideology whether the FBI’s performance has improved or deteriorated over the last 20 years. Are we safer, more secure in the course of our daily lives?
Those pictures of the suspect looked like they were before the shooting……where is the gun (the type that is not easily broke down)…..This am, Patel said that DNA evidence was on a screwdriver found on roof, on the towel that wrapped the gun, but no word yet on the gun itself. This smells like rotting fish.
Patel said the gun is being analyzed at the ATF Labs in Maryland.
It is with great sadness that I can see obviously what SD saw from the beginning. Do crazy eyes never lie? Bondi, Bongino and cash must go. Let’s try for someone competent next time. We need leaders.
Patel was scared shitless at that press conference. He doesn’t have the balls for the job.
I’ve been entertaining similar thoughts
For an agency like FBI, I’d prefer a big, imposing hulk of a guy who’d walk in and lay down the law and if you don’t obey you’d run the risk of him actually kicking your ass
Can we please clone Tom Homan so we can assign the clones to other agencies?
I sort of blame Bongino for some of this…he’s got to have Patel’s back and considering how Bongino railed against the FBI-e on air, it now feels like he had no one inside of the agency to show him where the bodies were buried.
This is the same problem that Trump 45 had with Pence as his EO but with Pence, we had a mole in West Wing.
Patel is the right guy for this job but he needs a competent wingman.
I served with a few outstanding intelligence professionals in the military. They have since gone on to be FBI agents. I had a chance to speak with them at a memorial for one of our military brothers that took his own life. I asked them what their motivation was to join the FBI. Both responded that they wished to work to return it to a trusted law enforcement agency. Both knew the damage that the agency was directly responsible for against our nation.
Knowing they weren’t jack booted college campus recruits made me feel a bit better. I really hope that the culture within is not so rotted out that neophytes to the agency can work for change.
We all know the most corrupt and egregious decisions happened on the 7th floor.
I saw this morning’s interview with Patel on Fox & Friends. He praised the local law enforcement agencies in Utah for their fast work, but gave the distinct impression that the FBI agents in Utah were being more bureaucratic with their investigation and slowing things down. He said he gave them orders to speed things up, but what he will ultimately do about the specific agents or the SAC remains to be seen. It has been my observation that local law enforcement can close cases and have a suspect in custody relatively quickly, if at all, where it seems to take the FBI years to solve anything.
name a case that the FBI solved.
Olympic bomber?
Anthrax?
J6 bomber?
I can wait.
It appears the Democrats have now decided that Kash Patel needs to be removed and they are waging an all-out media war against him.
Ultra panic!
He must be doing something right.
Had to happen. Patel & Bondi going to “break it all down for you, tonight, on Hannity.” I won’t be watching because I can’t take such a trifecta.
Panic in the deep state is not enough they attack Trump picks 24/7
Personnel is policy. Until such time as Kash and Dan, and the FBI organizationally, bring back *all* of the whistleblowers (who proved themselves to be solid human beings with the fortitude to do what’s right) and elevate them to positions of power within the agency, they are doing nothing but pissing into the wind.
Truth be told, while he doesn’t seem to want the job (and who can blame him), Kyle Seraphin should be very high up in the agency (perhaps even deputy director or director) and leading the cleaning out process. That guy knows exactly what he is talking about and he has been absolutely right on about virtually everything he has predicted and shared relative to the agency failures under Kash and Dan. Apparently, the were soliciting his opinion and listening at the beginning (or prior to taking the helm), but were then subsequently convinced to stop doing so.
Until and unless the guy(s) who actually know what is going on inside the bureau are reincorporated and let loose to clean house there will be no genuinely meaningful progress.
I hate to say it, but if Kash had fired everyone at the FBI day one, Kirk would probably still be alive.
Not sure if this is accurate but a post on X reported that worker bees at FBI had the photos of the suspect 12 hours before this was released to FBI leadership. The continued report in the post was that Patel & Bongino met with 200 of the worker-bees and chewed them out. Patel was quoted as saying “Mickey Mouse police work will not be tolerated here.” To me this would indicate Patel is well aware of the attempt to sabotage him within the ranks, but why doesn’t he fire them? No doubt they are trying to hide behind the ploy of pretending to be incompetent, which is a usual “plausible denial” tactic of the left. Wray was famous for this. There is no time left, no room left to give any of these “incompetents” another chance to get their act together. They’ve got to go. Yesterday. For example, why didn’t the FBI immediately put the local airport on lock down? There were reports of a private jet taking off just after the murder going incognito. May not have been related as military aircraft does this often. If this involved a professional hit team they could easily have gotten away & never to be found. Does the local FBI field office know this very well or is this another example of their “incompetence”?
Patel also posted over the weekend that “against the advice of all law enforcement we decided to release the pictures of the suspect to the public” (To elicit the public’s help to ID the killer and which helped lead to his capture when the family turned him in.) Patel declined to describe who these elements in law enforcement are that pressured FBI leadership not to do this. We need to know. These entities be named and made transparent to the public.
For years we have been subjected to an FBI that says almost nothing to the public about significant events and has covered up evidence to protect criminals. The transparency that was shown in the Charlie Kirk murder was a welcome change. The FBI should do more of this if they want to restore the public’s trust. That Patel got push-back on the transparency illustrates the problem of the corrupt old guard wanting to hold onto their power to manipulate/destroy the facts for their own Machiavellian purposes.
Personally I don’t care that Patel released a statement about the persons of interest they detained early on and later released. I bet that happens all the time in these cases but the public is not aware of it. I don’t think less of Patel because of this. What matters is they have a suspect that IMO we can reasonably assume is the correct perp given the info that is out there. But I also don’t believe he acted alone and so I am glad they are continuing to investigate the groups/ gaming platforms the suspect was involved with.
When cleaning out the horse barn “debris” , you use a 6 fingered rake, not a toothbrush.
Kash has a chance right now to use this assasination and the utter incompetence of the field FBI and others to use that fork.
Go big, or go Home, Kash.
Bongino needs the same vigor.
“The more he spoke of his honor, the faster we counted the spoons.” Exactly. Kash was always going to fail. Let’s hope President Trump is paying attention. He needs an absolute warrior right now. Someone who can root out the snake in the shadow FBI woodpile. (Obama?)
The reason he got stiffed was bc he fired an employee favorite special agent Mehmed Syed – a Pakistani lady who moved up the ranks and just transferred to SLC. He canned her a couple weeks before the shooting so they pulled this in protest.
Employees stated Kash was uninformed bc they never took him seriously – he knew nothing of law enforcement. For example, he was once getting on twitter exposing that the fbi had previously burned all records of Russian collusion. That was true, but he was unaware that, like any agency or business, they have digital copies.
The reason he fired Syed is being disputed in civil court with two other agents he canned. They’re saying it’s retribution. Doesn’t matter, kash is simply not cut out for this job if he has no credibility with his employees. He’ll be gone before Xmas – taking bongino with him. Looks like Trump will keep bondi though.
he never looked comfortable with this role may be in over his head. “but he discovered clinton dirt” playing him like a fiddle
To be fair, this theory only works if we assume that those who alerted Patel knew that the original suspect they arrested was innocent.
