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. …...
