Remember when Kash Patel campaigned for 2yrs on how he would carry out sweeping changes inside the FBI?

I’d give him more than 60 days to judge. I’d suggest that we don’t know even 5% of what he is doing internally.

100% spot on, on both counts

Sports fans will give a new coach at least 2 years to see some turnaround on their team - and that's having only 25-60 players and a dozen or so assistant coaches to manage.

Yet Patel somehow is required to have a 10,000 person secret/intel agency in DC, full of regime enemies, whose activities are nearly all hidden from the public, all fixed within 60 days.....

I believe the running count is now 1713 days of miserable Trump AGs and FBI Directors without a single Shadow State prosecution!

Patel has only been FBI Director for 60 days. That’s hardly enough time to overhaul an agency as complex and entrenched as the FBI. From the outside, we simply can’t fairly evaluate his performance—most of the real work is happening behind closed doors.

I’m not saying he’s guaranteed to succeed, but calling him a bust this early—without inside knowledge—is premature. Give him time to deliver results.

Here’s your plan Big Boy:

Mark my word. Bookmark this. (Laura Loomer)

There’s going to another Eric Ciraramella move against President Trump out of DNI and it will be timed for the midterms to rile the Democrats up to take back the House and impeach Trump.

This is what’s going to happen since the Biden holdovers at the intel agencies haven’t been fired.

Mark my word.

It’s time to clean house at DNI @TulsiGabbard.

Why are we waiting for something bad to happen?

Polygraph every single intelligence employee and then after the polygraph, you’ll have every reason you need to fire them. Failing a polygraph test is a cause for termination. Get every Biden holder to take a polygraph test.

It’s wild how this hasn’t happened yet.

Trump and Trump administration 2.0 is noticeably more aggressive than the first time around. I have little doubt his people feel empowered to do what they said they would do. We're turning a aircraft carrier around, this could take years. That's not saying I don't think people should pass judgement, I just think we need a little time and some real information, information that is best held close to the vest when making substantive changes otherwise you arm the leftist media.

Fair analysis.

Bondi and Patel may not have delivered any real results yet that we are aware of but at least no one has jeff sessioned DJT yet

Bongino keeps assuring us that he and Patel are doing things behind the scenes, that these things take time, etc....I don’t know what to believe at this point. All I can say is that the FBI looked hopelessly politicized and corrupt at the end of Biden’s term and Patel and Bongino have done nothing I can see to change the FBI.

“It’s discouraging to watch Trump make mistakes in appointments and not correct the mistakes. In his first term it was understandable. This time, he should know better and be more proactive.”

*************

It appears that he selects people who are obsequious and flatter him rather than on the basis of competence. Or maybe he just mismanages them in terms of setting forth expected performance.

Trump and his team are attempting the biggest “corporate turnaround” in the history of the world. It’s a counterrevolution against an enemy that’s had years to burrow in and cover its tracks.

Anyone who thinks they can publicly share everything they’re doing—especially when the media is primed to spin every move as failure—is naive.

Patel may fail. Bondi may fail. Hell, Trump may fail.
But whining about it in the meantime helps no one.

Then he got the job, along with due process and all the constitutiony stuff that some FReepers would like to apply selectively.

Agreed....far too soon to join FR’s anti-Kash, anti-Bondi bandwagon.

Quite confident in fact, we’ll be pleased with what is happening behind scenes.

>> I have a feeling the same is going to happen with Bongino.

whatever the hell is going on (or not going on) will unlikely affect Bongino to any significant degree — he’d resign prior to getting ensnared in the perceived DS capitulation being portrayed in this thread

I am in agreement, and Bondi on further review, is the reason, or one of the founding reasons for BLM. She screwed the pooch on Zimmerman. He was easily proven innocent, but not without effort by Pammy to bring home the white mexican trophy for the negro racists.

Yep, Mayorkis said we had operational control of the border as we let in tens of millions of illegals, rapists, MS-13 gang members etc. Bondi has literally shut down the border. I think we need to admit that progress is being made.
