Trump taps Kash Patel for FBI director, an ally who would aid in his effort to upend law enforcement

Excellent news!

Wray has three years remaining in his 10-year term and would have to resign or be fired to create a vacancy

that is acceptable. Very much so.

Wray and Myorkas were just absolute disasters, I’m just happy that we won’t see their pathetic faces anymore, they did enough damage.

A very very good choice !

Perfect

Blatantly biased headline.

I have a feeling a lot of people realllllly gonna regret that politicized FBI raid of Trump’s home.

That didn't happen. Trump just wants revenge, like all crooks who get away with their misdeeds.

You know who wants to politicize and weaponize the FBI? Trump and Patel and the other loonies.

It was the FBI based on evidence that raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago and not the people where top secret nuclear files were discovered in a bathroom. It should have consequences.

The story is that there is panic and the start of a mass exodus/fleeing of leadership at the FBI.

why would that be if it wasn’t a hyper partisan organization there with things to escape and hide from?

oh the truths that will now be uncovered, can’t wait!

some ex FBI employees always smack taking on cable news still need to be held accountable as well.

It's about time we have a President acting for the people instead of against them.

Patel said he and others “will go out and find the conspirators not just in government but in the media.”

A fascistic nut job.

“Patel had virtually no experience that would qualify him to serve at the highest level of the world’s preeminent law enforcement agency,” Barr wrote.

Now watch our MAGA friends paint Barr as a deep state RINO globalist.

a hyper partisan organization

The FBI is an extremely conservative organization overall. They take law enforcement very seriously, regardless of who the perpetrators are.

Trump hates the FBI because of that.

It lack fealty to Lord Emperor Donald J. Trump, Con Man Extraordinaire.

The Dems overwhelmingly lost the election. Trump can do as he wishes. Let's wait and see how it all turns out.

where top secret nuclear files were discovered in a bathroom

speaking of “things that never happened” lol

That didn't happen.

It did happen.

Trump just wants revenge, like all crooks who get away with their misdeeds.

If he was a crook, they could and would have jailed him, but since after almost 10 years not being able to do that nor find anything, I would say, the idea of Trump being a criminal is just the sad state of liberal bitterness obsession that never materialized and never will. Time for a new hobby.

You know who wants to politicize and weaponize the FBI? Trump and Patel and the other loonies.

To go after the swamp and to make sure the establishment is bounced out of our lives forever, and the Department does what’s is supposed to do and that’s work for the people, please go for it.

Again with the zero sum nonsense.

According to the left…

He's embraced Trump’s rhetoric about a “deep state,” called for a “comprehensive housecleaning” of government workers who are disloyal to Trump and has referred to journalists as traitors, promising to try to prosecute some reporters.

Do not get how anyone buys Trump being victim of the media, deep state, or two-tier justice system.

Himself and the people he pardons like the new ambassador to France Kushner are rather the beneficiary of two-tier justice system favoring the ultra-wealthy. Facts.

The FBI has worked to protect Trump this year following multiple assassination attempts and disrupted an Iranian murder-for-hire plot targeting the president-elect that resulted in criminal charges unsealed in November.

Trump should be thanking the FBI. The FBI has shown if it really wants to take out someone like they did to leftists and civil rights activists, they can do it.

Trump remains a felon and was found liable for sexual abuse. There is no way back to a clean sheet. A police mugshot remains on file.

Blacklabel

where top secret nuclear files were discovered in a bathroom

speaking of “things that never happened” lol

Are you suggesting the FBI planted many boxes of files in the bathroom?

Trump nominates. Congress selects.

if your guys did noting wrong

They're not "my guys".

Again with this zero-sum team sports metaphor.

The Dems overwhelmingly lost the election. Trump can do as he wishes.

Dems didn't overwhelmingly lose the election, and Trump is not emperor, except in his own demented imagination and that of his cult followers.

Let's see how many GOP Senators have a moral backbone and reject this lunatic.

Are you suggesting the FBI planted many boxes of files in the bathroom?

They planted blank classification cover sheets and placed documents into locations other than where they were found to take pictures. You think those documents were just laying scattered on the floor?

and no there were not any “top secret nuclear documents” found in “the bathroom”.

FBI "transparency" didn't happen during Trump's first term. Why was that?

It was the FBI based on evidence that raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago and not the people where top secret nuclear files were discovered in a bathroom. It should have consequences.

Ok, we don’t need to re-litigate that BS political lie, they tried everything to take this guy out and lost, over 79% people think the FBI is compromised and we should have new leadership. So it’s good that Wray is out.

"I'd shut down the FBI Hoover building on day one and reopen it the next day as a museum of the deep state."

--Kash Patel, September 2024

Shall we hold this loon to his word, or is he just speaking in "euphenisms"?

FBI "transparency" didn't happen during Trump's first term. Why was that?

Not sure what you’re talking about, this administration had none whatsoever.

Trump remains a felon and was found liable for sexual abuse.

No one cares anymore, no one, that statement is falling on deaf ears

There is no way back to a clean sheet. A police mugshot remains on file.

Yes, and proud of it. I have a T-shirt of that. lol

Shall we hold this loon to his word,

Loon? Hardly

or is he just speaking in "euphenisms"?

Go for it. Anyway, I’m happy.

FBI "transparency" didn't happen during Trump's first term. Why was that?

James Comey. Andrew McCabe. Strzok/Page. Wray. Bill Barr fear of his impeachment. everything done as part of an active FBI “resistance”.

now we get to see/know EVERYTHING.

now we get to see/know EVERYTHING.

Heads will roll!

Even a Kash Patel will come up with zip.

how do you already know this?

maybe They carefully deleted and shredded it all? Like wiped it with a cloth and hammered the phones?

you better hope so.

how do you already know this?

Because I'm a leftist who's in on the grand conspiracy to thwart buff conservative superhero Donald J. Trump!

And because MAGA's track record of proving partisan malfeasance at the FBI and other "deep state" institutions is as flimsy as your superhero's mental acuity.

Its clear to me when the Democratic wing has absoulte control of the FBI it and has for somwtime weponized all the agencies ablites and assets to go after its rivals and those rivals supporters who noe have the power.

Just the minute the FBI begins making recommendations on what should be done with its information, it becomes a Gestapo.

-J. Edgar Hoover

I would hope President Trump and his cabinet show by example. A rule of righteousness, justice and fundamentals for which the FBI was established on, and to not repeat the same mistakes the Democrats made by weaponizing the agency against Democrats and seek out serious offenders and those that committed crimes against the constitution and as actors violated people’s constitutional rights. 

In other words. Let's do and be better as Republicans.

Because this is the first time we have access to the documents with “our” people.

the first time that “we” get to decide if a prosecution happens or not.

thats why the left is so scared. If nothing illegal was done, no reason to be so scared.

Wow!

you better watch out

you better not cry

The evil deep state warmongers are out and it’s big goodbye

Kash Patel is coming to the FBI

Conspiracy theory lunacy. Good luck with that.

Even a Kash Patel will come up with zip.

Trying so hard, aren’t you Plastic. ROFL

This has nothing to do with truth.

Oh, but it does.

It's about getting revenge for Trump. You know it.

So he should just keep the previous people in charge that tried to take him out? Lib logic at its funniest.

If nothing illegal was done, no reason to be so scared.

Trump's enemies can have their careers ruined and their lives put in danger regardless.

Intimidation is the point.

Trump and his people want to create a political ecosystem in which Trump can do what he wants without the usual restraints and guardrails. He's already got most of the Legislative Branch and SCOTUS on board. He and his friends will be richly rewarded.

Hello corrupt, authoritarian oligarchy.

a test for how far Senate Republicans will go in confirming his nominees.

Nice try.. they will be all confirmed..

Just the minute the FBI begins making recommendations on what should be done with its information, it becomes a Gestapo.

-J. Edgar Hoover

Said the self-hating crossdresser who tried to frame and defame MLK and other civil rights leaders.

Love the constant MAGA misreading of history.

And then you end up with all these MAGA true believers on display and followers like 'Kash'.

Trump's enemies can have their careers ruined and their lives put in danger regardless.

Oh? Like what happened to Trump and anyone with any connections to him under the last 4 years of politicization of the Biden DOJ and FBI?

Democrats worries are lilliputian when compared with those of Republicans who now will be confirmed into offices. 

With Trump winning his second term, it is worth noting that there was not any accountability by the Democratic Party. None whatsoever. 

Donald Trump has caused the Democratic party to do some major inward reflection on their own failures of policy and political strategy. 

This time we must hold the Democratic Party Elite responsible for the catastrophe they have left the FBI and other three letter agencies.

There will be hell to pay. Thats coming for sure. And if you know anything about Kash Patel.

He is an axe.

Democrats need to shape up or ship out.

Trump's enemies can have their careers ruined and their lives put in danger regardless.

After what they did to him and anyone supporting him, I shall shed a tear

Intimidation is the point.

Hurts when the shoe is on the other foot.

Trump and his people want to create a political ecosystem in which Trump can do what he wants without the usual restraints and guardrails.

When this administration did what it wanted, you didn’t complain, why now?

He's already got most of the Legislative Branch and SCOTUS on board.

Yes, that’s right.

He and his friends will be richly rewarded.

Hello corrupt, authoritarian oligarchy

No, time to restore and rebuild these agencies and make them work for the people and not against them.

Like what happened to Trump and anyone with any connections to him under the last 4 years of politicization of the Biden DOJ and FBI?

Like FBI director and Trump apointee Wray retained by Biden?

You need to be this clueless to be MAGA

Like what happened to Trump and anyone with any connections to him under the last 4 years of politicization of the Biden DOJ and FBI?

No.

No

Wrong again, Plastic. Remember, the internet and documents live on forever

Like FBI director and Trump apointee Wray retained by Biden?

yeah Biden was super comfy with keeping Wray.

Why is that?

Wray even raided Trump’s home to interfere in the election for Biden.

Remember, the internet and documents live on forever

Yep, and your man will forever be remembered as a con man and the worst president in American history.
