Ex-FBI officials worry that Kash Patel as director may wield unlimited power

Trump’s pick, who has gained key support, could open investigations unilaterally or influence background checks



Former FBI officials have warned that Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next FBI director, Kash Patel, could have limitless power at the bureau as they confront the likelihood that he will be confirmed next year after locking down support from key Republicans and the current director’s intention to resign.

The alarm has come as Patel, who has called for shutting down FBI headquarters and drafted what critics call an ‘enemies list’ of Patel’s opponents, appears set to have his nomination supported unanimously by Republicans on the Senate judiciary committee.

The problem with Patel leading the FBI in the second Trump administration is that typical checks on the power of the FBI director would almost certainly be gone, according to former FBI assistant director Frank Figliuzzi and other former officials familiar with the matter.



The Deep State in a panic is a sight to behold. "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the Grand Juries of Justice."
 
After rogue FBI agents produced fake documents (The Steele Dossier) in a treasonous attempt to under the Trump administration and received not so much as a slap on the wrist the left worries about "unlimited power"? WTF?

It's like they forgot all about the lawfare terror campaign.
 
It's like you made up the lawfare terror campaign....

It's like you made up the lawfare terror campaign as a way to excuse trump's unlawful actions.

No, the Democrats and Deep State have been using the legal & justice system against Trump since he declared his first campaign. They created laws so they could go after him in NYC. They abuses FISA search warrants to spy on him and his associates.

You skipped over the part when he broke the law. I can paste Smith's indictments for Jan. 6 and the classified docs case to disabuse you of your ignorance if you like.
 
And paid for by the Hillary campaign.
The campaign didn't know of Steele's existence or what he was working on when Elias agreed to take over payment of the oppo research from the Free Beacon. He made the arrangement with Fusion GPS, not Steele.

You should read Glen Simpson's congressional testimony so you aren't so ignorant on the matter.

Nonsense. Smith's investigation is no more. The investigation on Smith on the other hand may be in the works.

Why would he be able to wield any more power than the FBI couldn't and isn't already wielding?

:eusa_whistle: :eusa_shhh:
Because unlike previous FBI directors, who didn't expect to get pardoned if they broke the law. By a president with absolute immunity for enumerated presidential powers.
