The Democrats are gnashing teeth and rending clothes over the fact that incoming FBI director Kash Patel will wield a broad axe as he cleans house at the bureau, firing corrupt operatives by the buckets full.
The argument against Patel’s coming actions that Democrats make is that he is just acting as Donald Trump’s revenge machine. And that his actions will be based on animus, not “the law.” And that Patel will turn the FBI into a political entity, not a branch of law enforcement.
That is, of course, nonsense. But even if it were true, I say… so what?
You see, the Democrats have already turned the FBI into an arm of their radical, criminal political party. They already sent various FBI directors to clean out all real law enforcement professionals and to put in place partisan, political operatives who see their role at the bureau as being the Democrat Party’s spies and attack dogs.Thee FBI is an American Stasi answering to their Democrat Party masters.
Barack Obama did this starting in 2009. Obama purged the FBI of any legitimate law enforcement officers years ago and put people in place who would adhere strictly to the far-left wing’s political agenda. The FBI hasn’t been a “law enforcement” agency for more than a decade.
After all, look at what they did to Donald Trump starting in 2017 and all the way until today, seven years later.
The FBI:
1) Illegally opened investigations into presidential candidates.
2) Deployed undercover agents and confidential sources to spy on a candidate’s advisers.
3) Violated bureau protocols in interviews with Trump insiders.
4) Filed false reports to superiors on those interviews.
5) Hired a fake campaign opposition researcher under the guise of intelligence gathering.
6) Presented the false opposition research to a court as a basis for wiretapping a candidate’s adviser.
7) Used false opposition research to brief the president of the United States.
8 ) Ambushed the president-elect with false opposition research.
9) Sought to include false opposition research in intelligence community products.
10) Ambushed the national security adviser with wiretap information on the pretense of a Logan Act violation.
11) Misled and stonewalled Congress on the investigation of the president.
12) Misled the president about the investigation targeting him.
13) Leaked false information to left-wing “journalists” who published the lies as facts.
14) Leaked the information to other so-called “intelligence” agencies.
And this is just what we know about. There are likely many, many more corrupt, dangerous, illegal actions indulged by these anti-American cretins.
So, yes, Kash Patel’s job absolutely is to “clean out” the FBI. Hundreds need to be fired. And many should be prosecuted and put in jail. These are not “law enforcement” agents. These are criminals.
