FBI Director Kash Patel slammed former FBI Director James Comey on Fox News Wednesday and accused him of sparking a culture of political grandstanding that has made the agency’s job harder. Comey deleted an Instagram post showing the number “8647” after Republicans and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said he implied a threat against President Donald Trump. They opened an investigation. During an interview on “Special Report with Bret Baier,” Patel said Comey’s action has sparked a wave of copycat threats and distracted agents from real threats to national security. “If he wants to come after me, no...

The FBI has been overwhelmed investigating James Comey “copycats” in the wake of his controversial “86 47” Instagram post, Director Kash Patel revealed Wednesday. “Do you know how many copycats we’ve had to investigate as a result of that beachside venture from the former director?” Patel told Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier, during an interview from the bureau’s academy in Quantico, Virginia. Patel indicated that the uptick in potential threats against President Trump since Comey’s May 15 post has been so substantial that the FBI has had to redirect significant resources – including agents focused on child sex...

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued the order in March 2020 that ultimately killed at least 15,000 nursing home residents. Many senior living centers were flooded with COVID patients thanks to Cuomo’s reckless order putting them in senior living facilities instead of other locations that could have protected elderly people. Now, the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into Cuomo, probing whether he lied to Congress about his role in a state policy that led to the deaths of thousands of nursing home residents. The investigation, initiated last month, centers on a controversial March 2020 directive that required...

“That’s Not What We Voted For!": Grading Pam Bondi's and Kash Patel's Performance So Far

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino published an update on X on the progress that is being made behind the scenes. MAGA supporters are concerned as days turn into weeks and no indictments or arrests are being made of prominent deep state actors who ran the Trump-Russia coup on President Trump, who imprisoned and destroyed lives of hundreds of Americans who walked inside the US Capitol on January 6, 20221, or the Biden White House officials who were colluding with Democrat operatives across the country in their junk indictments of President Trump the past four years. Where are the investigations into...

The O’Keefe Media Group on Thursday released undercover video of US Attorney General Pam Bondi revealing previously undisclosed information about Jeffrey Epstein. In an April 28 recording Pam Bondi revealed to a stranger in a DC restaurant that there are ‘tens of thousands of videos of little kids’ for the FBI to comb through.

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday explained the delay in releasing files on billionaire and child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. President Donald Trump on the campaign trail repeatedly promised to release the Epstein Files, including the rumored list of clients with whom the billionaire trafficked children.

While speaking with reporters, Bondi was asked whether the files would ever get released. “It’s just the volume,” Bondi answered. “That’s what they’re going through right now.” Bondi further stated that the FBI is combing through “tens of thousands...

Comer believes the files are already destroyed to cover up the deep state. “I don’t think the Department of Justice has [the Epstein files]—or at least the Attorney General does not have them—or she would have turned them over. The President ordered them released. The Attorney General ordered them released. We all know they have not been released. One of my biggest fears, which I expressed with Kash Patel and a lot of people, including Stephen Miller, going into the new administration, was this: I hope they’re not shredding documents right now. This was a few weeks before the transition....
