"Senior executives are being pushed out and the director, Kash Patel, is more freely using polygraph tests to tamp down on news leaks about leadership decisions and behavior"
Behind the scenes, his vision of an F.B.I. under President Trump is quietly taking shape. Agents have been forced out. Others have been demoted or put on leave with no explanation. And in an effort to hunt down the sources of news leaks, Mr. Patel is forcing employees to take polygraph tests.
Taken together, the moves are causing worrisome upheaval at the F.B.I., eliciting fear and uncertainty as Mr. Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, quickly restock senior ranks with agents and turn the agency’s attention to immigration. Their persistent claims that the bureau was politicized under previous directors, in addition to their swift actions against colleagues, have left employees to wonder whether they, too, will be ousted, either because they worked on an investigation vilified by Trump supporters or had ties to the previous administration...

Time, Mr. President, to join Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, and FDR and use the powers the Constitution and the People have given you. He who saves the nation breaks no law.
Good!
It’s very simple really. They were defending “our democracy” which has nothing to do with promoting the welfare of the American People. They are very evil men and women.
-——eliciting fear-——
There’s that word again. It is creeping into the mainstream.
The only active force within the progressive debacle is FEAR
The Fear is palpable
Why fearful if nothing to hide?
I cannot be more happy, Kash is great! and with Bongino they are the dynamic duo
Pedo Pete put my job on the line if I didn't take his clot shot. Fortunately, the Supremes stepped in. THAT was 'unease'.
Exactly!
Imagine fearing sunlight? They must be vampyres.
Daddy, are we there yet?
You have to build your army before you can go to war.
Research sociopathy.
Government attracts them ...at all levels of government.
You mean fearful like the parents at school board meetings or the old ladies praying at murder clinics? That fearful? Or in as I may lose my job but not go to jail for speaking my mind by using my 1st amendment rights fearful?
These guys were swooping across the country in body armor raiding homes including Mar a Lago, grabbing J6 people and grabbing stuff. Then Wray sat in front of Congress saying they don’t discuss ongoing investigations.
They have earned any discipline they get.
I want more than “unease” from the FBI. I want to see the slime leftists infecting the agency to be crushed and driven into the sea, and watch the lamentations of their women (whatever kind of woman hangs with a leftist).
The FBI is irredeemable and should have been shut down by now.
Without Congress acting, at least the previous regime should have been fired all the way down with as much ended or reassigned as possible.
You’re SUPPOSED to strictly supervise law enforcement because they can run people’s lives they have so much power.
And you can’t have Law enforcement if the ones in charge can lie and break the law when they feel like it.
I guess the democrats will run on a platform of an FBI that acts like hitlerites and leaks all our secrets.
Waiting for some judge in the Aleutian Islands to rule in 3……2…..1
Indeed it isn’t odd that all of them are democrats.
Hard to believe - in any way, shape or form - that this ‘stunning’ NYT article was written with a single author...there should be at least three or four!
GREAT news!
“Government attracts them ...at all levels of government.”

Regardless of what their initial motivation was for going into government many of them eventually develop a smug sense of elitism, entitlement and invincibility. This mindset becomes self-serving and they forget they are there to serve the people.
