I hope the Senate vote confirming Patel happens sooner rather than later. Tomorrow would be good. Very concerned about the delay up to this point. More time for the Deep State, and the uni-party politicians who conspired with them, to destroy evidence of their crimes or undermine future investigations into their misconduct? The whistleblowers who faced brutal (and patently illegal) retaliation by the FBI in recent years had better watch their backs.
Excellent column. Kash Patel is truly much more qualified than most former Directors of the FBI, in its history. Hoover had his problems, but the Bureau did a good job under him because he hired ex-military and ex-law enforcement officers to do the hard work on the street. Clarence Kelly and Louie Freeh did the same. After Kelly was pushed out, Judges were the ones hired. Webster was known as a do nothing that couldn’t make a decision. His assistants did most of his work. Sessions was a complete disaster. Freeh tried and did a great deal of clean-up but faced political pressure and left. Mueller, Wray, and Comey were DOJ officials who wanted to replace agents with analysts and turn the Bureau into. MI-5 type agency that ignored criminal law and spied on Americans. And they succeeded, as history verifies.
They took case management away from the field and working agents and dictated the actions of the agents by sending a bunch of HQ people to the field as administrators and ran investigations from DC.
They lowered standards for recruitment and hiring with DEI, and to recruit higher college degree folks with no real experience to replace agents who had former law enforcement or military experience.
I spent almost 3 decades in the Bureau with 10 years in law enforcement prior to joining. If you look at the retired agents who vocally support Kash Patel, they are almost exclusively those with prior law enforcement and military backgrounds. That’s because they know how to work and honor the Constitution. The two big groups who are against Kash are the “official” retired agents group and the Agent’s Association which have always been controlled by the FBI HQ sycophants.
They just parrot HQ propaganda.
Kash can do the job, because of his prior experience and his support of the Constitution.
The Bureau needs a clean-up, clean out, and a complete reset.
Prayers for Kash’s confirmation and reform of the FBI.
Exactly why we want Him lol

Thank you for your service, and your context!
I’m praying for Kash Patel to be confirmed. We need him to clean up the FBI!
