"Truth solid lands while lies loudly echo."

FBI Director Kash Patel said Sunday night that a “wave of transparency” is coming to his agency, accusing the FBI of running cover for Hillary Clinton for nearly a decade — but that it’s all finally coming to an end.
Sitting alongside FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino for a Fox News interview on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Patel explained how the Bureau is now heading down a long road toward rebuilding trust with the public after years under the microscope for its activities related to powerful Democratic politicians, theories about J6 involvement, and its infamous investigations into President Donald Trump.
But it was Patel’s discovery of how the FBI participated in manufacturing Crossfire Hurricane, the investigation into Trump’s so-called collusion with Russia, that drove home the point for him that the government was always “weaponized” against Clinton’s enemies.
“You asked in the beginning how the FBI was weaponized,” he said to host Maria Bartiromo. “Well, the FBI hijacked the constitutional responsibility of the Department of Justice and the Attorney General, and James Comey and others specifically decided what cases to prosecute and not prosecute. Don’t believe me? Go to the videotape in the Hillary Clinton investigation.”
“We don’t decide prosecutions, and neither does any agent or intel analyst. We have great partners under Attorney General [Pam] Bondi. We work with them and discuss the matter with them, but the prosecutorial decision is with them,” he said.
In the near future, Patel added, the FBI will be publicly detailing the lengths that former agents went to perpetuate the baseless allegation that President Trump colluded with Russian agents to influence the 2016 election.
“That’s how vindictive and vicious the former leadership structure here was. Not only did they bastardize the FISA process and lie to the American public, they withheld and hid documentation and put it in rooms where people weren’t supposed to look,” Patel said.
“It’s a good thing we’re here now to clean it up, and you’re about to see a wave of transparency… Just give us about a week or two.”
Patel and Bongino’s wide-ranging interview with Fox News centered on reforms taking place at the Bureau as well as their preparations to release the final batch of documents related to the 2019 death of Jeffrey Epstein.
Cutting remarks by Patel were reserved for his own agency, which he accused of “intentionally failing the American public” by orchestrating the “biggest D.C. deception game” ever played.
Under the leadership of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and Peter Strzok, trust in the FBI fell to an all-time low, Patel asserted, and it will take years to build that brand back up.
“They said the FBI was the most storied institution for law enforcement, and it was, and it will be again very soon,” Patel declared while also suggesting that former leaders abused taxpayer dollars by hiding evidence from the courts.
“That’s what broke the FBI. And then, when they were caught, they lied about it… and [few media personalities] were brave enough to cover it six, seven, eight years ago, and we’re still talking about it today because Congress is working rigorously with us [and] the Crossfire Hurricane documents are coming fast and hard, and they’re being sent there un-redacted so we can have full accountability.”
“That’s how you restore the trust that was lost to the American public when it comes to the FBI,” Patel said.
we’ll never know the truth.
cameras failed
gaurds no where to be found for hours
reports that what happened to his neck could not have happened the way they claim he died.
could he have done it himself? ya.
Could someone else have killed him? ya.
which is most likely? with all the above events? he knew to much. (and you can’t argue that)
rule OF LAW is totally absent when judges refuse to let the executive root out fraud, corruption, and lawlessness.
Amen, brother.
Only thing is, those prisons were under the DC government. Only way anything will happen to those guards is if Congress reclaims the role of governing DC.
Exposing it means nothing unless it is followed by prosecution for crimes committed.
What ever happened to “Lock Her Up”?
Let’s get on with it.
Hell, you would need to first document that the Federal employees in New Youk City even know how to tell time let alone be competent enough to follow a schedule. ;~)
Seriously, I refuse to believe a grand conspiracy exists where simple every day incompetence of federal employees that we have come to expect perfectly explains what happened.
What is amazing is that the incompetence of federal and other employees always helps the plutocrats and never helps us....
When a judge gave Epstein a slap on the wrist because the CIA had told him Epstein works for them..... yeah, i think we can say there is a big conspiracy in play.
Nebraska state senator John DeCamp wrote a book describing the evidence of a conspiracy by local Omaha law enforcement, The Omaha World-Herald, and the US military at SAC Air Force Base to recruit, mind-control, and exploit sex slaves from Boys Town, to be used for creating blackmail files against federal lawmakers. He wrote the book after the private investigator who had compiled evidence was killed in a small plane crash and all the evidence magically disappeared. An Omaha jury not only found the perpetrators innocent, they sent to jail the witnesses who testified against the perpetrators.
DeCamp wrote the book after all that because he couldn’t stay silent and his military buddy who had become the head of the CIA (and did some Congressional testifying regarding the CIA’s lawlessness) told him that if he spoke out the CIA would kill him.
Incompetence can explain a lot, but I think we’d have to be willfully blind to not realize that the CIA has conspiracies to further their own goals, their own power, and their own untouchability. Like an aggressive cancer.
Excellent and well-thought-out post my FRiend. I hope that Trump has a plan similar to the one you outlined.
We have become a dysfunctional country characterized by broad institutional and cultural corrosion. Trump has but a short window of time (with unknown mid-term outcomes and then shifting of attention to 2026 soon thereafter) to show the country that we’re perilously close to losing the republic and need to impose corrective measures to prevent continuing national decline.
If you have the proof, bring it out. Let’s all see it.
“What I suspect - and pray and hope for - is that Trump is letting the country see how the cancerous coup has taken over the whole body”
I guess you don’t hope that Trump is letting the country see how the cancerous coup has taken over the whole body?
John DeCamp’s book is “The Franklin Cover-up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska”
You can get it at Amazon or other places.
Generally, having hope is better than hopelessness. What is your hope for a solution to the mess this country is in?
Louis Freeh . The Clinton corruption started with him. I still believe Vince Foster was murdered underneath the White House, his body rolled into a carpet, carried to a park and then had his body dumped there.
It has been 8647 days since 911 when Comey posted . That leads me to believe he was planning on doing this way in advance.

“Killed himself DID”
More coffee, please.
Agree 100%. And the agents involved in the Mar a Lago raid as well. We were taught early and often in the military that obeying an illegal order is the same as issuing an illegal order, there must be a price to pay for doing either. I thought the interview was nothing, not a bit of new news, waffling about who did what, “congress has the info” crap. Nothing has changed at the Justice Dept...yet.
Cutout arrests there is no trust.
