The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was transformed during the Obama-Obiden Regimes into an attack dog operation which criminalized political opposition and intimidated Americans into silence.

Now, the Trump administration is sending in a man to clean house, and the bureau may actually be forced to start investigating threats to the American people instead of harassing and persecuting the American people themselves.

On Thursday, the Senate confirmed Patel on a 51-49 vote, with Sens. Lisa Murkowski (RINO-AK) and Susan Collins (RINO-ME) voting against yet another Trump nominee. Nevertheless, Patel is in, and this is an extraordinary and heartening development:

Patel has for years been a harsh critic

of the far-left, highly politicized, and deeply corrupt FBI.

A thorough housecleaning appears to be in the offing—unless the deep state that Patel will be targeting is able to thwart him in a head-on confrontation.

When he nominated Patel for this office back on Nov. 30, 2024, President Trump said:

Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and ‘America First’ fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People. He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution. Kash did an incredible job during my First Term, where he served as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council. Kash has also tried over 60 jury trials. 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. Kash will work under our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI.

Patel may very well do just that. Certainly, it is something he has made no secret about wanting very much to do. Back in August, Patel was asked what he would do if he did become the director of the FBI, and his answer was pure gold.

Patel responded:

One of my biggest personal recommendations is you shut down the FBI headquarters building and open it up the next day as the Museum of the Deep State, and you send those 7,000 agents in the headquarters building down range to chase down rapists, to chase down murderers, to chase down drug traffickers and let the cops be cops on the streets across America. You keep a small contingent in Washington, D.C. That’s step one.

That was a heady enough recommendation in itself, and Patel was just getting started. The desperately corrupt FBI of Old Joe Biden and Merrick Garland, which abandoned all pretense of being politically neutral and did its level best to frame Donald Trump for bogus crimes so as to hamstring his presidency or drive him out of the Oval Office altogether, did it all behind the most pious of veneers.

NOTE: The Obiden/Garland FBI threw aside all standards of ethics and decency in its effort to get Trump.

And recall:

[I]ts overlords and allies would schoolmarmishly remind us that no one is above the law.

They did that while assuming they themselves were above the law and would never be held accountable for turning the Federal Bureau of Investigation into a “weapon of partisan politics and the most scurrilous of political dirty tricks.” And it wasn’t just Trump. This was the FBI that relentlessly downplayed or ignored altogether the very real threat of Islamic jihad while insisting “white supremacists” were the biggest terror threat facing the nation today. And by “white supremacists,” they meant patriotic and law-abiding Americans who supported Trump, or opposed abortion, or did not like Critical Race Theory being forced upon our children in primary school.

They meant you and they meant me.

Patel signaled all that would come to an end on his watch, saying in his August interview:

You get rid of half of the legion of lawyers and special counsels that exist within the FBI to do one thing, to corrupt and obstruct government oversight from constitutionally applicable committees in Congress.

Bravo. But that was not all. 

Patel concluded:

Another aspect of it is one of the biggest institutions in the FBI that has been troubled and politicized and weaponized has been their intel component. We have an Intel agency. I don’t need it to be redone within the walls of the FBI. We’ve shown when we’ve given them that power what they do to it, they unlawfully surveil a president as a candidate. So those are three quick things that we could rattle off that would be my recommendation to reform the FBI.

Now Kash Patel has a chance to clean one of the filthiest of Augean Stables in Washington. All patriotic Americans should hope and pray he succeeds.

God speed to Kash Patel.
