Thank you for your patience. Apparently, public backlash from the Kash Patel and Dan Bongino interview with Maria Bartiromo has penetrated the membrane around them. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announces the FBI “reform teams” will likely be in place next week. From there, they will begin reviewing subjects of interest to the American people, including: (1) the J6 pipe bomber, (2) the White House cocaine user, and (3) the Dobbs leaker. ... The Director and I will have most of our incoming reform teams in place by next week. The hiring process can take a little bit of time,...

The truth about the FBI's discredited Crossfire Hurricane investigation is finally coming to light. FBI Director Kash Patel has just released nearly 700 pages of previously classified documents, exposing the inner workings of one of the biggest abuses of power in FBI history. The documents, compiled under the "Crossfire Hurricane Redacted Binder" dated April 9, 2025, were declassified following President Trump's March executive order demanding transparency on the FBI's investigation into the bogus Trump-Russia collusion narrative Make no mistake about it, this is huge. The document dump includes emails, messages, interview summaries, and extensive notes about the infamous Steele dossier—the...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - FBI Director Kash Patel was removed as the Acting Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and replaced by U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, seven people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday. Driscoll will continue to serve as Army Secretary while he also oversees the ATF, an arm of the U.S. Justice Department, said three of the sources, who were granted anonymity to discuss personnel matters that were not yet public.

Judge Boasberg’s Brother, a former associate at Covington & Burling, Hired Illegal Aliens to Teach American Students, Now He Runs A School In Singapore Promoted By The US State Department ... another shocking conflict of interest involving Judge James Boasberg, who recently threatened to hold Trump administration officials in contempt for failing to provide flight information related to the deportation of illegal Venezuelan gang members belonging to the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. The judge's brother, Tom Boasberg, a fluent Chinese speaker and former superintendent of Denver Public Schools (DPS) for a decade, hired illegal aliens on DACA to teach...

FBI Director Kash Patel said Friday that the agency is going to work with local law enforcement to address swatting incidents that occurred against media figures."I want to address the alarming rise in ‘Swatting’ incidents targeting media figures," he wrote on the social media platform, X. "The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable."Some "MAGA" figures such as radio show host Joe Pagliarulo and social media influencer Gunther Eagleman have said they were targets of swatting this week, according to Newsweek."This isn’t about politics...

Kash Patel CONFIRMS Judge Juan Merchan should have never been assigned to Donald Trump’s case.. Kash Patel “I'm calling for the subpoenas to be issued to Judge Merchant's Daughter's company who made $15+ million dollars from the illicit information pouring out of her father's courtroom - I wanna know the bank records because money doesn't lie. - I wanna know how deep it is and how much of it went to the family and how much of it is going to the family after this false conviction. - Then we need to investigate the FEC actual violations that this judge...

Following efforts with our interagency partners, I can report that a career Director level employee at US Customs and Border Protection has been charged with allegedly attempting to defraud FEMA, as well as lying to federal agents.. This is part of the new FBI’s renewed efforts to crack down on public corruption and deliver accountability for the American people. Justice will be done. Thanks to our partners @AGPamBondi @TheJusticeDept and our @FBIDetroit team for their work.

It appears that Kash has turned over records related to J6 pipe bombs to House Judiciary committee per request by Jim Jordan a few weeks ago. ... Wow, imagine that — actual records on the J6 pipe bombs finally making their way to the House Judiciary, and not just buried under "ongoing investigation" excuses. Props to Kash for doing what the DOJ and FBI should have done years ago. Funny how the "most secure election ever" crowd suddenly goes silent when real evidence starts coming out. Wonder how long before the media pretends this never happened or spins it as...

Seth Rich The corrupt FBI has once again refused to release crucial records related to the 2016 murder of Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich. Attorney Ty Clevenger, who has been battling for years to obtain these documents, reported that the FBI is stonewalling yet again, refusing to comply with his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Rich was murdered in Washington, D.C., in the summer of 2016, shortly before WikiLeaks released the infamous Clinton emails. On Monday, Clevenger took to X to reveal that the FBI will not be releasing Seth Rich-related records as expected on March 10th....

“There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued and brought to justice. If there are gaps in the Epstein investigation, we will find them.” Then, he inexplicably edited the post 33 minutes later and REMOVED “brought to justice” and “Epstein investigation” from the original post.

As FBI Director Kash Patel faced his confirmation hearing, he had the support of a striking mystery woman — now identified as his girlfriend, country singer and Republican press secretary Alexis Wilkins. Wilkins, whose presence drew public curiosity, later stood by Patel's side at his swearing-in ceremony. Dressed elegantly in an all-white gown, she impressed attendees with her grace and warmth. Patel, meanwhile, used his speech to reflect on his journey as a first-generation Indian American achieving the American Dream. Addressing the media, he remarked, 'You have written everything you possibly can about me that is fake, malicious, slanderous and...

@charliekirk11 There’s a very obvious reason why Adam Schiff is panicking outside the FBI building this morning… Kash Patel: “Adam Schiff is the worst criminal in Congress in the last 250 years.”

Let's goooooo.Just hit 50 ayes

Trump broke Mitch McConnell. He woke up today, announced he won’t be running for re-election, and then he voted YES to confirm Kash Patel! Good turtle

The US Senate has confirmed Kash Patel as the FBI director, with lawmakers voting 51-49 in favour Trump's controversial choice to run the nation's top law enforcement agency has previously been a fierce critic of the FBI

Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI Director 51-49. All Republicans voted in favor except for Murkowski and Collins and all Democrats were against.

This is a reminder of how slim the Republican “majority” in Congress really is. Mitch McConnell voted “yes” in cloture but will be a “no” for confirmation. If Boozman sits this out, then even Vance’s tie breaking vote may not matter. McConnell also announced his retirement. Kentucky is a “red” state with a purple flair. It has a staunch Democrat governor in Andy Beshear and this seat cannot be taken for granted. Can’t afford another RINO either. The RNC has proven unreliable time and time again to get its act together. Trump cannot carry the water for everyone across the...

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she would vote against the nomination of Kash Patel to serve as the FBI director, citing a string of political comments that call into question his ability to apolitically lead the bureau. Collins noted recent actions at the Justice Department and FBI, from prosecutors resigning after facing pressure on how to handle certain cases to FBI agents facing firing over their work on Jan. 6 cases.

Democrats have railed against Patel, taking issue with his rhetoric toward Jan. 6 defendants and saying he could oversee politically motivated firings at the bureau. What's happening today: - Kash Patel, President Donald Trump's pick for FBI director, will get a final confirmation vote in the Senate today. If confirmed, Patel would serve for a 10-year term following the resignation of FBI Director Christopher Wray, whom Trump appointed in 2017. - While Republicans rallied around Patel and advanced his nomination on a 48-45 party-line vote Tuesday, Democrats have railed against the pick, taking issue with Patel’s rhetoric about Jan. 6...
