James Comey disgraced the FBI by writing love letters' to the ADL and embedding agents with an extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization and the disgraceful operation they ran spying on Americans, Patel said. That was not law enforcement, it was activism dressed up as counterterrorism, and it put Americans in danger. He added, That era is finished. This FBI formally rejects Comey's policies and any partnership with the ADL.
They called the balls and strikes and will continue to do so, wrote Patel. The wildly false accusations attacking this FBI for the politicization of law enforcement comes from the same bankrupt media that sold the world on Russia Gate- it's hypocrisy on steroids. Their baseless objections tell us now, more than ever, that we are precisely over the target and will remain on mission until completion, he concluded. Thank you to this brave FBI team. Mission First.
Politicizing the murder of Charlie King to go after free speech is not a legacy, I believe, Charlie King would have wanted, Nadler told FBI Director Kash Patel. His comment came a moment after he asked Patel if he was aware the Trump administration was using Kirk's death as an excuse to crackdown on liberty and freedom of speech. Patel said he could only speak for the FBI and was not aware of such efforts.
I don't think you're fit to be in the bureau, but here's the thing, Mr. Patel. I think you are not going to be around long. I think this might be your last oversight hearing. Because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump and not the Constitution of the United States of America, Donald Trump has shown us in his first term and in this term, he is not loyal to people like you. He will cut you loose.
I got to ask you about this Fox News report by Jacqui Heinrich, the White House correspondent, who says you and Kash are under fire, political fire. She reports the White House, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, your deputy have no confidence in Kash Patel. Citing one source, Pam in particular cannot stand him. Blanche either, they said, referring to Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche. The headline is that knives are out for Kash Patel.
Brian Driscoll, the former acting director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), along with two other former senior FBI officials, sued the Trump administration and FBI Director Kash Patel on Wednesday, alleging they were dismissed for political reasons. The three officials said in the lawsuit, filed in a Washington DC federal court, that they were fired by FBI Director Kash Patel in a "campaign of retribution" to purge officials considered disloyal to President Donald Trump.
The FBI raided the Maryland home of John Bolton, a former national security advisor from President Donald Trump's first term, on Friday morning. Agents entered the house at 7 a.m. and searched for classified documents as part of an investigation ordered by Kash Patel, the FBI director. Minutes later, Patel wrote on X, "NO ONE is above the law... @FBI agents on mission."
The FBI is searching Bolton's home as part of an investigation into handling of classified documents, the source has said. A journalist affiliated with AFP news agency reported witnessing FBI agents entering Bolton's home in Bethesda, Maryland, located outside of Washington DC. The New York Times reported that the case was related to whether Bolton "illegally shared or possessed classified information." Bolton has not been detained or charged with any crime, the AP source said.
