Every other agency head of any agency of any size has fired thousands of employees.

C'mon, I know you are more serious than that. It's pretty easy to fire half of the education department or half of USAID. They don't even need to exist. The FBI on the other hand, if run properly, has a serious job. We have no clue what national security threats we face inside our country with what went on over the past 4 years - it would be foolish to make wholesale cuts in 60 days w/o actually studying the agency for a while. Also, realigning the culture doesn't happen overnight, the cancer needs to be excised.

Agree. Closing the border was a big deal, but that was pretty much just Trump with little to no GOP involvement (thankfully).

At last count, Patel has fired 6 Deep Staters in the FBI.

Just 4,994 more to go.

5,000 FBI agents worked on the J6 abominations.

They need to be gone.

This is very clear—with no excuses.

Yes, so far just about everyone is a popcorn fart. Lots of chin music, no action.

Btw—I have some final words for those 5,000 FBI agents when they are fired.

“Put ‘I was just following orders’ on your resume.”

I am withholding judgment at this point. It’s way too soon. Anyone can yank at the leaves of a noxious weed but the real gardener knows how to reach the roots and slowly pull it entirely out. The Deep State has had more than a century to embed itself, mine its harbors and strew the landmines everywhere.

I would much rather the Trump people take their time and get it right, especially as they are trying to ensure they follow the rules and eliminate the possibility of the next liberal administration just resurrecting the Deep State by executive order. We don’t need these Deep Staters merely going underground and waiting out Trump.

Do you want to wait until we have a Democrat House of Representatives to deal with in 2027?

Don’t want to rush, ya know.

Lol.

I agree. In fact, I think Kash owes us a completely reconstituted FBI.

I just don't think that's going to happen overnight and I don't think it's going to be visible to the public eye as it happens.

This is war and the enemy is watching every move so that it can take defensive action. That's one reason among several that what's going to be done will have to be done quietly, invisibly, and strategically.

Yup—I have created a new word.

When one of our appointees accomplish nothing significant that took some courage—and many Freepers attempt to defend them and make excuses.

That appointee is hereby named a:

Kash.

Do you want a Deep State version of the brouhaha over this MS-13 gangster plastered all over the media and Democrat circle jerks? I am not recommending waiting until the mid-terms but sixty days is a little short. Do it right or the weed will just pop up again.

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

I agree.

You are putting earrings on a pig.

The time for excuses are over.

None of those other agencies were weaponized with fail safe procedures in place so as to stop any efforts to curtail them.

Kash Patel: "98% of FBI agents are courageous apolitical warriors for justice."

Sun Tzu:

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
Here's what can be taken from Sun Tzu's intentions (paraphrased) in "The Art of War":
“Never let your enemy know your plans. Conceal your intentions. Victory belongs to those who move in silence.”

“The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom your real intent.”

In other words, don't necessarily believe Kash's complimentary comments about those courageous and apolitical FBI agents.

Get specific.

What are you talking about?

What “fail safe” provisions?


I will get specific.

He is what Kash should be doing today.

1. Offering DRP (deferred retirement program) to all FBI employees. He has the right to exempt anyone he deems “critical” so there is zero risk in doing that.

2. Close some (say half) of field offices. There are 55 of them. Some of them are headed by our enemies. Fire the head of the office. If you want to save any of the remaining employees offer to relocate them somewhere else.

3. Presumably identify all of the 5,000 FBI agents who worked on the J6 cases. If 1 and 2 don’t get it done transfer them to brutal remote locations.

There is no “secret plan” out there to stop that.

There are no excuses.

Stop trying to create them.

Rooster:

Perhaps you are the one being deceived.

I trust Kash as far as I can throw him.
