Should Kash Patel secure Senate confirmation to lead the FBI, he will face the daunting task of subordinating a bureau of 13,000 agents with personnel actively begging Congress to intervene against the White House’s agenda and whose agents are suing the administration to block its implementation.
When nominating Patel, then-President-elect Donald Trump praised him as the “one guy” who could “make the FBI great again.” Patel’s reputation as a Trump stalwart and vocal critic of the deep state’s career bureaucrats already had FBI agents warning of mass resignations should he enter the post. But now, some seem more inclined to work against the MAGA agenda from within their posts. Patel is expected to eliminate some of the bureau’s top leadership and root out personnel whom he believes have politicized their roles.
The White House’s recent acquisition of data about the agents who worked on Jan. 6 cases in particular has raised concerns that they could seek to axe a large percentage of the bureau’s agents. That data revealed that roughly 5,000 FBI employees were involved in Jan. 6, CNN reported. Trump himself issued a blanket pardon of the roughly 1,600 participants who were convicted or still faced trial.
The episode led the FBI Agents Association and Center for Employment Justice to sue in bids to block any public release of information about the agents under scrutiny. The groups expressed concerns that the employees may face termination or some other form of retaliation.
A memo from acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove that the Associated Press obtained, however, informed agents that those who “simply followed orders” and acted ethically had nothing to fear and their jobs would be safe.

I find it amusing when “woke” arguments just evaporate when exposed to symbolic logic.
Agree
One thing is obvious, they’re scared $hitless of him. Delaying his vote is only going to come back and haunt RATS and the Repukes that allowed it to happen.
I agree that its irredeemable at this point. Not forgetting about their obsession of so called right wing extremists and white washing Islam and submitting to sensitivity training.
Eff those 13,000 agents. Thoroughly and completely.
Uh, lemee think about this for a second. Oh yeah, you’re FIRED!!!
These people give loud voice to opposing the administration and then don’t understand why they’re fired.
Loose lips sink ships and make picking off traitors easy.
DOJ has a prison in El Salvador for rogue judges...
Be careful..
Amazing how much the democrats and leftist love cops now!
Did there ever find Nasty’s laptop?
I know they raided and arrested an innocent couple, accusing them of stealing it.
Trump is essentially in charge of the FBI. By the stroke of a pen he can fire the 1,000 in the hierarchy. Won’t comply, another 1,000 the next day until the FB is gone in less than 2 weeks.
“It’s very possibly an unconstitutional practice. However, it’s never been challenged.”
We’re dealing with rogue, Marxist judges.
The seventh circuit court of appeals has said that “A single district court decision . . . has little precedential effect[, and i]t is not binding on . . . other district judges in the
same district.”

Somewhere in Alaska there is a town of 10-20 people that needs a senior FBI manager. (Don’t know what they are called.) Heck maybe a town of one is more appropriate.
Trump needs to be prepared to do it soon. Especially since he has all the momentum now.
Which Republicans won’t vote for him?
“FBI agents warning of mass resignations”
Cue the meme with Powers Booth.

Fastest way to lose your job, trash the new management team’s
plans.
5000 agents (nearly half the total number of agents) pursuing a protest gone wrong. Perhaps THAT is the problem right there.
That’s 5000 agents not working terrorism, violent crime or the true political corruption that defines our government.
Senator Grassley has already said there is no need for further hearings - the full senate vote to confirm will be today.
