The assistant director at the FBI’s New York field office reportedly told staff in an email that they were in the “middle of a battle” and that it was time for him to “dig in” as the Trump administration targets bureau officials who investigated the January 6 attack on the Capitol. “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy,” wrote James E Dennehy, who has led the...

The top agent at the F.B.I.’s New York City field office vowed in a defiant email to his staff to “dig in” after the Trump administration targeted officials involved in the investigations into the Jan. 6 attack — and praised the bureau’s interim leaders for defending its independence.“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy,” wrote James E. Dennehy, a veteran and highly-respected agent who has run...

VIDEOOn this the Second February Day, Punxsutawney Phil was on full Display, As he made his yearly Prediction, In his Inimitable Groundhog Diction."Hark!" he Yelled to one and All, "For I predict a Great Fall, Of the Once Almighty Deep State As Trump is about to Clean Slate, Stand Back and Listen closely I Urge, I predict 6 more weeks of FBI Purge!"

‘The New York Times put out a photo today of the walls of Quantico, the FBI academy, where they were painting over the FBI’s core values to include integrity, adherence to the Constitution and diversity,’ he said. Fairness, compassion, diversity and respect are just some of the words that were painted over with a much duller, gray color. ‘A less diverse FBI is a less effective FBI,’ he claimed.

The director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been fired by the Trump administration hours after an FBI purge saw agents who investigated the President 'escorted out.' Rohit Chopra acknowledged in a letter to have 'concluded' his term, according to a person familiar with his ousting, just hours after the President fired a cohort of FBI agents who worked on the Mar-a-Lago and January 6 investigations. 'I swore an oath to a five-year term, and I will keep serving that until I can pass the baton to someone else,' Chopra said in an interview this week, the New York...

The FBI and Justice Department declined to comment. Driscoll attached to the email a memo from acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove with the subject line “Termination.”

The Justice Department, under leadership appointed by the Trump administration, has asked for information about potentially thousands of FBI employees across the country who were involved in work related to investigations stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and a Hamas-related case filed last year in New York. According an email sent to the FBI workforce late Friday, and obtained by ABC News, the requested information is to be provided by Tuesday afternoon to the office of the acting Deputy Attorney General, Emil Bove, whose office will then conduct a review to determine if any "personnel...

Steve Friend @RealStevefriend The Acting Attorney General ordered the @FBI to assist with ICE deportations. I've been told that agents are calling in sick - "blue flu" style - to protest the directive. Confirm @Kash_Patel forthwith to root this subterfuge out.

The Honorable Christopher Wray Director Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Wray: Seven years ago, I presided over your confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, after President Trump nominated you to become only the eighth FBI Director in the Bureau’s 116-year history. The Senate confirmed you to your current position in hopes you’d bring needed change to the FBI after the politicization and scandal presided over by your predecessor, Director James Comey. While I sincerely congratulated you on your nomination, I reminded you that an FBI Director’s ten-year term is a ceiling, not a floor, and laid down my expectations...

When I heard Kash Patel had been tabbed by Donald Trump to run the FBI, I could already imagine the pushback and moved immediately to start the just-published article “The Bell Finally Tolls for the FBI” piece. The thought was that the role Patel played in preparing the “Nunes memo” was both the clearest example of media corruption from Trump’s first term and also the most easily demonstrated episode of FBI malfeasance. Since I had to spend an unnatural amount of time on the topic over the years (it even intersected with the Twitter Files and Hamilton 68) I quickly...

The reported nomination of Kash Patel means chickens are coming home to roost for the FBI, which needs to be destroyed as a political entity. From CNN’s “Trump announces he intends to replace current FBI director with loyalist Kash Patel”: Even among Trump loyalists, Patel is widely viewed as a controversial figure and relentless self-promoter whose value to the president-elect largely derives from a shared disdain for the so-called deep state… Patel rose to prominence within Trump’s orbit in 2018, when he served as an aide to Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee… Patel played...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Officials within the FBI have warned that naming Kash Patel director of the Bureau could seriously undermine the agency's work on not releasing the Epstein client list. For years, the FBI has poured massive amounts of resources into not releasing the Epstein list, the Nashville shooter manifesto, the JFK files, and results the Las Vegas shooter investigation, all of which could be undone by Patel's nomination. "We have done such incredible work not releasing the names of sex-trafficking pedophiles," said a senior official on condition of anonymity. "All of that could come crashing down. Next thing you...

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton compared Kash Patel, President-elect Trump’s nomination for head of FBI, to one of the USSR’s most feared secret police chiefs, Lavrentiy Beria. “Trump has nominated Kash Patel to be his Lavrenty Beria,” Bolton said during an appearance on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” on Sunday. “Fortunately, the FBI is not the NKVD. The Senate should reject this nomination 100-0.” NKVD refers to the interior ministry and secret police of the Soviet Union, which was in place from 1934 to 1946.

On Saturday’s “CNN Newsroom,” CNN Senior Law Enforcement Analyst former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said the nomination of Kash Patel to be the director of the FBI is “a terrible development for the men and women of the FBI, and also for the nation that depends on a highly-functioning, professional, independent FBI.” McCabe said, “[I]t’s a terrible development for the men and women of the FBI, and also for the nation that depends on a highly-functioning, professional, independent FBI. The fact that Kash Patel is profoundly unqualified for this job is not even like a matter for debate. …...
