Director Kash Patel Fires FBI Agents Linked to Lawfare Against Trump
Breitbart ^ | 01/23/2026 | Bradley Jaye

Posted on 01/23/2026 11:57:51 AM PST by DFG

FBI Director Kash Patel has purged his department of agents linked to the Biden administration’s efforts to jail the Democrat former president’s electoral foe, Donald Trump.

Patel forced out field office leaders and other senior agents connected to the two criminal investigations of Trump, including the special agent in charge in Atlanta, the acting assistant director in charge of the New York field office, and the former special agent in charge in New Orleans who had recently moved on to another job, MS Now reported and two senior administration officials confirmed to Breitbart News.

As many as six agents in Miami were forced out over their connection to the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, conducted by over 30 agents accompanied by CNN cameras.

“These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar- A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump said at the time. “Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.”

The agents also searched Melania Trump’s Mar-a-Lago wardrobe, leading to widespread condemnation of the agents for searching through the former supermodel’s panty drawer.

FBI emails declassified in December 2025 revealed that officials had expressed concern about a lack of probable cause for the 2022 search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, but the operation proceeded in spite of that after officials in Biden’s Justice Department provided legal cover.

Other agents fired were involved in the widespread “Arctic Frost” investigation of Trump.

Patel scorched “corrupt” FBI agents involved in the lawfare Thursday, revealing the agents had commissioned a self-congratulatory trophy for their efforts, characterized by the establishment media at the time as certain to keep Trump either out of the White House or off the ballot entirely, if not in jail.

Getting them fired is not enough punishment.

They should be sent to a mortuary to be cremated. /spit

Can’t clean out the bad actors without investigating. Patel had firing lots of bad actors.

That seems a little bit harsh, Flavious., don’t you think?

“””Why did this take a year?”””

You can do something right or right now. Patel chose to do it the right way. A proper investigation takes time.

Good question and when will they be charged, sentenced and executed for treason?

Most likely most. The fibbies need to be completely dismantled. Too much power and corruption in one place. Not to mention the Feds weren’t granted that authority in the constitution.

Now this is a positive indicator that Patel is gaining control of the FBI.

Better late than never.

I want to see more dismissals. Keep up the good work!

He can never do enough to satisfy FReepers. They sit at their computers doing absolutely nothing to fight the Dems and complain whenever someone actually does something. Always said, a FReeper is the last person you want in a foxhole and wear your body armor on your back.

Because there is still a battle going on there.

Over the decades, DOJ has morphed into America's KGB (esp. under Obama), and I mean that as an objective statement of fact, not as a moral judgement

It controls both domestic intel and the ultimate power of prosecution and lawfare for the massive central government. It monitors and controls political orthodoxy, particularly among central government elites, so it is an entity unto itself. In the USA, it's one of the de facto branches of government, outside of the 3 permitted in the Constitution.

It took a year and they were only fired.

Were they investigated for crimes? Misuse of agency resources? Jaywalking? Littering? Anything?

This only happened because they found the trophy. Patel and Bondi are starting to sweat because they’re compromised and people are beginning to notice. That’s why Bondi made a special trip to MN for the church invasion. Trophys and church invasions are obviously bad. Low hanging fruit as it were. Meanwhile, how many criminal leftists are still walking around undisturbed, stealing from the treasury like Tim Walz or gloating about their crimes like Jack Smith?
