Yup—I saw that article.

Kash needs to be grounded and stuck in a room with Musk people working on their plan to eliminate thousands of FBI employees.

He should not be allowed to leave that room until the “you are fired” emails have been sent.

All roads lead back to the Justice Department.

Arrests and indictments are their job.

All other agencies are slashing staff and grants and other spending as well as eliminating harmful regulations and doing a great job at that.

Failing? When you work for a Shadow State stooge like Patel, Bongino can only be seen as a highly successful Shadow State goon.

When I saw this quote from Patel I knew we were screwed AGAIN!

Patel said 98% of FBI agents are “courageous apolitical warriors for justice” during his hearing.

You need to be working with a rim shot! Great laughs!

Blondi, Patel and Bongino are very smart. They are protecting themselves from their current bosses with their recusals.

Jamie Raskin: “When we come back to power — and we will — are not going to look kindly upon people who facilitated authoritarianism in our country.”

“Patel said 98% of FBI agents are “courageous apolitical warriors for justice” during his hearing.”

His comment was so obviously insane that nobody believed that he believed it....

But maybe he really is that crazy.

If folks do not want to do the job that is fine.

I have no problem with that.

Then they should resign and get out of the way.

There is real work to be done by hard chargers who want to do it.

He’s clearly that much of a self-promoting, celebrity-obsessed, showboat and preener over hard-stuff doer.

Get Kash out of there, take the loss, and get someone in there with the grit and focus to do what needs to be done!

So the real Russian connection was in the FBI. Surprise, surprise. Given the man’s treachery, how come we never hear of him, nor see him punished?

How do we know it isn’t on their list and doesn’t already have evidence being collected - you don’t tell drug runners you’re organizing a raid - much of the most difficult stuff will need to be kept leak-proof.

“How do we know it isn’t on their list and doesn’t already have evidence being collected”

I have probably read more than one hundred posts just like yours—and they give me zero comfort.

The reason is that trust—just like respect—must be earned.

I don’t give it away for free.

It turns out that he was secretly taking money from a Kremlin-linked oligarch and helping shake down Albanian oligarchs on the side.
Now here we are, with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino stepping into FBI leadership roles under Trump 2.0—which is great. But somehow, Charles McGonigal’s name is still off the radar.

He isn’t the only one investigation on going blabbing on hold.

I’m halfway thru the Netflix series of White Collar for the second time. Fantasy yes, but it’s a good show. Tim DeKay, who plays the head FBI agent Peter Burke, nails the part with just the right amount of a slightly Nerdy but Professional aura!!

6 Seasons worth! excellent choice for the binge watchers out there...

I agree that Patel, Bondi, and Bongino, are not up to the job of ending political corruption at DOJ and FBI.

However, indictments are useless.

100% of the trials would take place in Washington D.C.

No Washington D.C. federal judge or jury will ever allow a conviction related to a Hard Left political crime.

Next best solution - rigorously investigate politically corrupt prosecutors and agents - then fire them for cause.

By the way, Sean Hannity also spent about 10 years claiming that 99% of the prosecutors and agents at the DOJ and FBI were hard working and completely honest.

Hannity stopped saying that a year or two ago.

There is absolutely no reason that a determined and intelligent Justice Department needs to choose Washington DC as the venue for any case.

Political corruption cases often span across many states.

Any one of them can be the venue.

Bondi, Patel and Bongino are in well over their heads. Two of worst in the FBI have already been promoted, one who advocated of tossing J6ers in jail without due process and the other who declared Catholics are terrorists. Nothing has happened at the FBI since Patel and Bongino took over. Pam to revamp the DOJ? It won’t happen.

Re: "There is absolutely no reason that a determined and intelligent Justice Department needs to choose Washington DC as the venue for any case."

I had no idea...

Please remind me of the last DOJ or FBI executive who was prosecuted outside Washington D.C. for a politically related federal crime.

Thanks in advance.
