When we took over, the FBI Laboratory faced a DNA-processing backlog of more than 1.81 MILLION samples.

When we took over, the FBI Laboratory faced a DNA-processing backlog of more than 1.81 MILLION samples.

Today: ZERO.

🔺 1.81M+ samples processed

🔺 Backlog had been growing by roughly 75,000 samples per month

🔺 Hundreds of thousands of samples were arriving each year

🔺 Profiles can help solve homicides, sexual assaults, mass shootings, and other violent crimes

🔺 Equipment upgraded

🔺 Resources redirected

🔺 Technology improved

🔺 Bureaucratic barriers removed

DNA profiles belong in CODIS helping law enforcement solve crimes—not stalled in a government backlog.

Under President Trump’s leadership, we are rebuilding the FBI around one standard: MISSION FIRST.

Sounds like the court system will be busy.

Why was this backlog allowed to occur and continue?

And yet the Biden FBI had the resources to pick Bryan Kohberger’s DNA out of thin air...

That can’t be possible because many on this board say that Kash isn’t doing anything and should be removed from office...sigh

I give Kash Patel credit. The DNA backlog has been a national disgrace for decades.

He fixed it. Thumbs up, Kash.

I know that in some states that when a person has been convicted of a crime that person must submit a DNA sample.

I suspect the Biden FBI was intentionally lax so the criminals would not have their DNA on record.

Wow. Doubt the MSM will be publicizing that.

No. Kash said he was going to fire the FBI. Instead he promoted the worst of the Jan. 6 oppressors. A press release about DNA backlog doesn’t change the fact that instead of getting rid of the scum at the FBI Kash is their biggest fanboy. They are still the enemy of America.

Because all the resources were being used to get Trump.

Also, there may be individuals from the protected classes that might have been criminalized.

Bingo!

The FBI was a play toy for the Comeys and Wrays to use to target their enemies.

The FBI is a tool to be used and Kash is taking a businesslike approach to repair it. Some may hate Kash because the results are coming too slowly. You cannot dig a hole with a broken shovel. Fix the shovel first.

True. He’s doing everything but that. Almost like it’s on purpose.

“Why was this backlog allowed to occur and continue?”

Because the Unipartiers/deepstate had to get their kickbacks first before they processed anything, Just an educated guess.

He did fire a small group that went after Trump and I feel a couple of big names will soon be prosecuted. I guess you think Kamala’s choice would have been better...

No wonder they didn’t want to send the Nancy Guthrie case samples to the FBI.

I guess there are two or more sides to every story.
