"Vengeance Is His The FBI is bracing for payback under Trump ultraloyalist Kash Patel.
Even as Patel spoke, a purge of the FBI was underway. The bureau’s acting director and deputy director, Brian Driscoll and Robert Kissane, respectively, had been given their orders by Emil Bove, one of Trump’s former criminal-defense attorneys and acting deputy attorney general. According to notes later leaked to Senator Dick Durbin, the Illinois Democrat, Bove conveyed to them, “KP wants movement.” That afternoon, according to a former FBI official who was told about the events by participants, Driscoll and Kissane walked around the secure suite on the seventh floor of the J. Edgar Hoover Building where the bureau’s top leaders work. They entered offices along the corridor and delivered word from above: Retire or be fired.
Michael Nordwall, the executive assistant director in charge of the criminal branch: Axed. Robert Wells, in charge of the national-security branch: Axed. Ryan Young, the chief of intelligence: Axed. Timothy Dunham, head of HR and acting associate deputy director: Axed. Jacqueline Maguire, who had just taken over the science-and-technology branch: Axed. “They were shocked. Someone walked into their office and said, ‘You’re on the list,’” said the former official, whose account was echoed by two bureau alums who talked with those who were terminated. Bove’s list also included the assistant director in charge of the D.C. field office and two officials accused of retaliation by a group of ousted agents that had testified as whistleblowers before Jim Jordan’s House subcommittee on weaponization. (Patel’s nonprofit had given the ex-agents financial support.) The nation’s internal security service had been effectively decapitated — and a message delivered — while Patel was playing innocent in front of the Senate. “Who are you going to rely on if you whack the whole leadership?” the former official wondered aloud. "
Man, that was a heartwarming article. All those grim faced and corrupt FBI leaders axed one by one. What a dream come true.
Here's what the Democrats need to understand- the November 2024 election was the Deep State being overthrown.
Jan. 6th was nothing compared to Nov. 5th.
