The appointment has been rumored ever since Donald Trump was reelected president of the United States, and on Saturday evening, he made it official: “I am proud to announce,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “that Kashyap ‘Kash’ Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” This is an extraordinary and highly significant appointment, as Patel has been a harsh critic of the far-left, highly politicized and deeply corrupt FBI. A thoroughgoing housecleaning appears to be in the offing — unless the deep state that Patel will be targeting manages to defeat him in a head-on confrontation.
Trump added in his announcement:
Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and “America First” fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People. He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution. Kash did an incredible job during my First Term, where he served as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council. Kash has also tried over 60 jury trials. This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border. Kash will work under our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI.
Patel may very well do just that. Certainly it is something he has made no secret about wanting very much to do. Back in August, Patel was asked what he would do if he did become the director of the FBI, and his answer was pure gold.
“One of my biggest personal recommendations,” Patel said, “is you shut down the FBI headquarters building and open it up the next day as the Museum of the Deep State, and you send those 7000 agents in the headquarters building down range to chase down rapists, to chase down murderers, to chase down drug traffickers and let the cops be cops on the streets across America. You keep a small contingent in Washington, DC. That’s step one.”
That was a heady enough recommendation in itself, and Patel was just getting started. The desperately corrupt FBI of Old Joe Biden and Merrick Garland, which abandoned all pretense of being politically neutral and did its level best to frame Donald Trump for bogus crimes so as to hamstring his presidency or drive him out of the Oval Office altogether, did it all behind the most pious of veneers. As the Biden/Garland FBI threw aside all standards of ethics and decency in its effort to get Trump, its overlords and allies would schoolmarmishly remind us that “no one is above the law.”
They did that while assuming that they themselves were above the law, and would never be held accountable for turning the Federal Bureau of Investigation into a weapon of partisan politics and the most scurrilous of political dirty tricks. And it wasn’t just Trump. This was the FBI that relentlessly downplayed or ignored altogether the very real threat of Islamic jihad while insisting that “white supremacists” were the biggest terror threat facing the nation today. And by “white supremacists,” they meant patriotic and law-abiding Americans who supported Trump, or opposed abortion, or didn’t like Critical Race Theory being forced upon their children in primary school. They meant you and they meant me.
Patel signaled that all that would come to an end on his watch, saying in that August interview: “You get rid of half of the legion of lawyers and special counsels that exist within the FBI to do one thing, to corrupt and obstruct government oversight from constitutionally applicable committees in Congress.” Bravo. And even that wasn’t all.
Patel concluded: “Another aspect of it is one of the biggest institutions in the FBI that has been troubled and politicized and weaponized has been their intel component. We have an Intel agency. I don’t need it to be redone within the walls of the FBI. We’ve shown when we’ve given them that power what they do to it, they unlawfully surveil a president as a candidate. So those are three quick things that we could rattle off that would be my recommendation to reform the FBI.”
Now Kash Patel has a chance to clean one of the filthiest of Augean Stables in Washington. All patriotic Americans should hope and pray that he succeeds.
Robert Smith says
Then can you look into California voter fraud ?
Hannah Katz says
Yes, especially the questionable late ballots that were used to throw out Republican Congressmen Mike Garcia, John Duarte and Michelle Steel. All persons of color and replaced by “dirty White boys.” Those ballot harvesters should be arrested.
Jody McDonough says
Such a putrid abuse of our voting system. I pray that justice is swift and eternal.
Neil says
I love to awake to the sound of pigs squealing in the morning.
RS says
Excellent choice for the FBI. Patel will be loyal to President Trump.
Devoman says
I would prefer he be loyal to the US Constitution first.
RS says
Excellent Choice for the FBI. Kash Patel will be loyal to President Trump.

Deplorable Me says
The problems at the FBI go back to the days of J. Edgar Hoover and the big mistake of Prohibition.
The FBI was, from day one, an organ of the Progressive Deep State.
David Ray says
Fire all the FBI pricks disguised as “MAGA” during Jan 6th and prosecute any who hinted of willingly participating in the set-up.
Make absolutely sure that the sewage known as Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, and Andrew McCabe have the book thrown at ’em. (H make sure no trials happen in the D.C.)
Raymond in DC says
Paige, Strzok and McCabe have all reached generous “settlements” with Garland’s DoJ. All are probably untouchable at this point. The Trump haters take care of their own.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, the FBI was all over “January sixth.” They were so obvious and so criminal.
sumsrent says
Even Patel is talking about… the Truth behind 911…
See… the islamic loving Luciferian Globalists of America was behind 911…
Why?
To create the fake War on Terrorism…
Why?
To set up democracies in the ME… and spread satanic worshiping muslims across this world… through open borders…
The islamic loving Luciferian Globalists of America have been aiding, helping and funding satanic islam’s expansion across this planet. Setting up the Antichrist Beast System… called Islamofascism…
It all started before World War One… continued on through 911 and today…
Remember… it was America that sent weapons to ISIS in Syria through Benghazi… our enemy… and before that… they sent weapons through Iran to train Al Qaeda during the Afghan Soviet War…
Intrepid says
Ahhhh!!!!!!!…..they are all in on it. Why can’t you see that, America?
sumsrent says
Not everyone…
However; your satanic ELCA Lutheran fake church is too… teaching how you worship the fake god allah of satanic islam…
Your fake ELCA church is a prime example of Chrislam… even with you proclaiming in the Nicene Creed that the satanic catholic fake church as “the one holy church”… <<< Any Lutheran professing that is an absolute idiot…
Intrepid… you try to make fun of what I say… but you're as ignorant as they come…
Remember when Trump questioned Killary Clinton during the Presidential debate, in 2016… "Why were we sending weapons to our enemy, ISIS in Syria?" <<< She responded by rolling her eyes in her head.
Why?
Because she knew the truth… the islamic loving Luciferian Globalists of America support satanic Sunni islam…
See… there's a reason why it's Sunni vs. Shiite… both are satanic… but which will prevail… take a guess…
Intrepid says
You will certainly not prevail with all of the paranoid crap you peddle.
BTW I checked the Patel article. Nowhere did Patel mention 911. Just more of your Lucy-farion fantasy.
You can mention the ELCA all you want. Meanwhile my church just welcomed new members this weekend. How many new members did you get?
And I recited the Nicene Creed with nary a bolt of lightening striking me down.
But hey you wouldn’t have a life without your childish paranoia. I guess you have to hang on to something….anything…….to give your pathetic life meaning.
The Ode to Slumsrent.
“I search for satan everyday.
I search and search in every way
I scream and yell and no one cares
Just don’t say I’m nuts
Don’t you dare
I’ll say you are in league with
With the father of lies.
Or is it the father of pies?
It’s the feds I say
They did 9-11
It’s the catholics I say
They have a pope you know
It’s the ELCA I say
They created Lucy-Farion Day”
From heaven downward
to my beema-bob-a-looma seat,
I search for satan everyday.
I search and search in every way.
But satan’s never there for me
I’ll always be a low rent version of John the B.
sumsrent says
1) “Nowhere did Patel mention 911” <<< Not in this article
2) "… my church just welcomed new members this weekend… " <<< Yes… wide is the pathway to destruction…
3) "your childish paranoia"… <<< Lol… haha… and YOU were the one who took the CV19 vaccine…
4) "I recited the Nicene Creed" <<< Yes you are an idiot. If you profess the satanic catholic fake church is the "one holy church"… <<< Then what is your satanic homosexual approved ELCA church?
Intrepid says
Yes he didn’t mention 9-11. And you can’t even say when he did.
Yes I recited the Nicene Creed. Whatcha gonna do about it.
Yeah I took the vaccine. So what? Whatcha gonna do about it.
My Church is an ELCA Lutheran Church. Whatcha gonna do about it.
Yes we have new members. Whatcha gonna do about it.
We don’t have a Beema Bop a lunatic seat in the toilet like you do. Whatcha gonna do about it.
I’m so glad I can always expose you for the moronic idiot that you are. Whatcha gonna do about it.
You really don’t have a lot going on in your life do you. I guess that is why you simply have your silly childish stock phrases which are getting a little long in the tooth. You are that predictable, Scumsrent.
It was so nice not having to read your garbage all through election season. But you seem to be back. Tell me do you keep your insults on a 3×5 card for easy reference? Or they in your Atari computer?
You do know that Trump won, right? I suppose he is a Lucy-Fariyan too, right?
sumsrent says
“Whatcha gonna do about it.” ???
I don’t need to do anything… you do it all… by confessing your idiocy…
Intrepid says
Hillary knew the truth? Well that explains a lot about you.
You do know she lost to Trump, right?
Grey Beard says
Great piece!
18 U.S. Code, Section 241, Conspiring Against Rights — Press on!
Thomas E. Warwick says
There is no “truth” to the rumor that Kash Patel will immediately issue an order to all employees of the FBI to cease and desist planning any further assassination attempts. Agents must henceforth wear only tan trench coats. All pedophiles will be immediately arrested instead of given jobs at the White House. Guns are to be taken away from agents. They will be reissued with water pistols.
Richard Kronenfeld says
If you think the Uniparty Republicans led by Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and John Curtis, who appears to be the new Mitt Romney, will allow Kash Patel or any other appointee who is deemed a threat to the administrative state to be confirmed, think again.
CTripps says
Investigate investigate investigate ad nauseum.
Is that what is coming?
The traitors need to be processed ‘off the books’. I will wager my retirement Trump would not have any problem finding those willing to get their hands ‘dirty’ to do the job.
