Christopher Wray, head of the FBI, is trying to make life difficult for the incoming Kash Patel, even though he is leaving. By promoting loyalists, he is pushing them into decision-making positions so that reforms can be stymied. Wray is apparently determined to wreak havoc by giving his successor headaches from day one. Mr. Patel should not take the bait!
Many decades ago, the Department (Board) of Education of the City of New York had a division called The Bureau of Child Guidance. It was the mental health unit that serviced all school children.
New psychologists on the Board had to immerse themselves in a year’s internship. They spent four days a week toiling in the schools, but on Fridays, they gathered from all over the city and continued their education. There were morning academic lectures and afternoons spent in group therapy sessions.
Thus, twenty percent of their productive time was given over to training. No coercion! No harangues! No re-education! Just academic pursuits. Patel might learn from this approach. Instead of facing down his opponents (unless they are incorrigible troublemakers), he should think about weekly mandatory group learning sessions. There’s even a good model for this.
Mr. Patel, if you have never attended a traditional Orthodox Jewish school (Yeshivah), spend a few hours of your precious time in such an institution. You will see the students hunched over ancient texts, reading them aloud to their study partner. Dyadic learning, where each student makes sure his partner has the same understanding as he does, is the method of choice in such institutions. Students can spend three months on a single page. A group of ‘learners’ gather in my synagogue every Saturday afternoon and have been engaged with a single tractate of the Talmud for the past fifteen years.

Sessions did keep Russia Gate going for 2 more years. They were both terrible, but at least Trump got rid of Sessions.
There’s also a page-a-day learning method called Daf Yomi. The 2711 pages (36 or so tractates) of the Babylonian Talmud take about 7.5 years to complete.
The original language is a specific variant of Aramaic, so it is learning a new language along with sometimes very abstract content.
I was thinking the same thing. Think how much more they could "learn" if they spent 15 years on just the first letter.
I kinda figured that.
That is a large part of why they've been put in the upper ranks.
Assign the entire FBI HQ staff to go out in the field, and hunt down election fraud, and other fraud by the Left.
Those who do the best job, get to stay employed.

Frankly, I think the founders decided against having a federal police force, for the very reasons we are seeing today. In fact, I think the only people excepted from the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms were federal employees.
