After years of stonewalling, spin, and subversion of truth, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the leadership of Director Kash Patel, has finally placed Deep State operative Brian Auten on administrative leave.
Sources familiar with the matter told the New York Times that Auten was placed on administrative leave last week.
Auten’s suspension comes after years of public outcry over his corrupt misconduct inside the Bureau, which turned the FBI into an arm of the Democrat Party.
He was a key player in Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s scandalous counterintelligence investigation based on the now-discredited Steele Dossier.
According to the DOJ Inspector General, Auten failed to alert FBI leadership about gaping holes and fabrications in the dossier, yet still aggressively pushed for illegal FISA warrants on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Let’s be clear: this was the FBI spying on a presidential campaign based on false evidence — and Brian Auten was in the thick of it.
But Auten didn’t stop at attacking Trump. In 2020, just weeks before the election, whistleblowers allege that Auten authored an internal FBI report that falsely labeled damning information about Hunter Biden as “Russian disinformation.”

Ditto. A term that I miss daily.
FR Patel haters are deeply saddened. Not really, they’ll find something else to trash Patel on....
No Epstein files or names or arrests.
Yep maybe even guilty as hell and free as a bird.
An entertaining thought. But President Trump does not yet have reliable control of the Military sufficient to do that sort of thing. It is an option best used at last resort.
And it hopefully won't be necessary. That would be real third-world stuff if it is needed. If it does come to that, Hegseth is making changes in the DOD and gaining ground with every passing day. Time is not on the side of the insubordinate ones in the FBI.
We should see a bunch of new suspensions, reassignments and firings at the FBI in the next 30 days. That is the best indicator that things are going well.
I would like to see about 5,000 agents kicked to the curb for their participation in the J6 persecutions and the Mar-a-Largo raid. It's not going to happen though. I will settle for a few hundred "early retirements" of senior executives.
More domestic terrorism sponsored by Democrat party affiliates would be a negative indicator. That can only continue if the FBI looks the other way and the Democrats startup their riot machine again. Then we would see the military used against the FBI.
On a more positive note, I see that the FBI is now arresting people who make direct threats against the President. That is a very favorable indicator.
When he promoted Steve Jensen. That’s still a problem.
