Since at least the 1990s and the Waco siege, the anti-government movement in America has viewed the FBI as its enemy. Trump's first presidency and the COVID-19 pandemic took anti-government animus mainstream. That animus was turbocharged by the investigations and prosecutions of January 6-ers, as well as by the federal investigations of Trump. And the narrative that both Trump and January 6 defendants are 'political prisoners' of a corrupt and tyrannical 'Biden Regime,' hunted down by his personal Gestapo in FBI uniforms, took hold.
The MAGA media ecosystem and network of J6 activists believe that Patel, if he takes the reins of the FBI, will root out corruption, expose all sorts of nefarious plots designed to damage Trump, and prove that J6 was a false flag.
'How many FBI agents were present for J6?' wrote Rep. Mike Collins from Georgia, on X. 'We're about to find out.'
Representative. Clay Higgins, a Republican from Louisiana, chimed in via a post that addressed Wray directly. 'Mr Wray. Remain close to DC. Your presence will be commanded,' Higgins wrote on X. 'In this Holiest of seasons, as you box up your mementos of oppression, may visions of the thousands of American J6 families you've destroyed dance through your head.'
