(LOL) Kash Patel to head FBI

It's possible that Biden may preemptively pardon individuals who may be targeted and possibly even prosecuted by Trump's sycophant Kash Patel not because they may have committed crimes but because they had the audacity to criticize the Dear Leader for his actions during his first term in office or because they are Democrats who displeased the Dear Leader. A partial list Patel's enemies of the state.

Vice President Kamala Harris, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, national security adviser Jake Sullivan, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former CIA chief John Brennan, former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, and former or current FBI directors Chris Wray, Robert Mueller, and James Comey. (Patel doesn’t explain why Comey, a supposed anti-Trump Deep State player, torpedoed Clinton’s presidential bid in 2016 when he reopened an FBI inquiry into her handling of State Department emails in the final days of the campaign.)

This line-up also includes a number of Republicans and onetime Trump appointees. These include Bill Barr, who served as attorney general for Trump; John Bolton, one of Trump’s national security advisers in his first White House stint; Pat Cipollone, Trump’s White House counsel; Mark Esper, a secretary of defense under Trump; Sarah Isgur Flores, who was head of communications for Trump’s first attorney general, Jeff Sessions; Alyssa Farah Griffin, the director of strategic commissions in the Trump White House; and Stephanie Grisham, former chief of staff for Melania Trump. ​

Here Are the Republicans Kash Patel Wants to Target – Mother Jones

Yay, I’m not on the list

 

Not surprisingly...

 

Not surprising that career federal law enforcement officers dedicated to the rule of law may not want to work under a politically appointed toadie with virtually no real experience who is dedicated only to exacting retribution on behalf of the president who appointed him rather than the rule of law.

By the way another poster @gatorbill posted this link Influential retired FBI leader says agents back Kash Patel as next director: ‘He's the right fix’ raising the question are both accurate or is neither accurate or most likely they reflect the viewpoints of different relatively small percentages of the FBI workforce.

 

There's been a lot of corruption at the FBI best exemplified by the Crossfire Hurricane documents that exposed FBI corruption. The Mar-a-Lago raid was an attempt to get those documents back. Lethal force was authorized for the FBI agents. I think they wanted Trump dead. I bet they wouldn't have executed the raid if they knew Trump wasn't going to be there that day I could be wrong, but I'm a good guessed.

The rule of law requires accountability and that seems to be the last thing you want. Kash Patel is loyal to Trump, highly intelligent, extremely competent and will aggressively charge wrongdoer. That's why Democrats fear him. What do you guys have to fear if you did nothing wrong?

 

All FBI search warrants contain a deadly force, CYA clause. The FBI knew pretty much exactly where Trump kept his MAR documents, and knew Trump's whereabouts pretty much at all times. As a former POTUS, Trump still had Secret Service protections, and it's not difficult to spot SS in and around MAR when Trump was there. It's far, FAR more likely the FBI waited until Trump was off premises before raiding MAR in order to prevent resistance and trouble from Trump himself.

That's because the goal of the FBI MAR raid was to retrieve the documents. They wanted a path of least resistance, which meant waiting until Trump wasn't home. Had the FBI wanted Trump dead, raiding while Trump was home and making up a resisting a warrant and then arrest would have been real easy to do.

And what do those who did nothing wrong have to fear? How about facing harrassment, persecution, arrest and false prosecution? Same things you think Trump has faced, even though, all Grand Juries have found Trump should face a trial, and his one trial, Trump has been found guilty of 34 felonies!

 

And what were those 34 "felonies"? In an internal document Trump's bookkeeper designated Trump's 34 totally legal NDA payments "legal expenses" because that's what most closely matched her options on a drop down menu on a bookkeeping program on her computer. Alan Dershowitz said that was the biggest joke of a case he's seen in 60 years. By referring to those "felonies" you lower yourself to gator_jo status.

Sad

 

Really? Did you know, in the past 15 years, NY successfully prosecuted 8 other cases of falsifying records under the same statute that Trump was found guilty of? Ignorance of the law is no defense. And New York State has a decent record at securing convictions in these type of cases.

 

John Durham, the Republican Special Counsel, spent four years investigating corruption at the FBI and was only able to find wrongdoing by a single low level FBI employee. Durham was essentially selected to find systemic corruption and failed to do so. What you and your fellow Trumpers refer to as corruption at the FBI was the agency doing its job.
The Durham investigation is Exhibit A for actual weaponized justice

 

The great Robert Barnes said John Durham was a fraud and a cover up artist from day 1. Durham was the guy to call when you wanted to cover up government illegalities at Guantanamo or FBI criminality in the Whitey Bulger case. Total scumbag. Keep talking, I like watching you lose.

I will give you credit for arguing your side of things and not running away (like dangolegators, for example). All in good fun brother

John Durham Is A Fraud | The Washington Pundit

 

Durham was a former Republican US Attorney appointed by Trump and he was selected by Trump's AG, Bill Barr as Special Counsel to investigate the FBI.

 

Bill Barr was as big a fraud as John Durham, as Robert Barnes predicted he would be on day 1.

Others Red flagged by Barnes:

Gina Haspel (CIA)
Chris Wray (FBI)
John Bolton
Mike Pompeo
Amy Coney Barrett

Barnes was right every time

 

If agents support a Q anon proponent we have bigger issues.

 

Just a guess they probably represent a very small percentage of active FBI agents. I would venture to say that to the extent that they are political most agents are Bush/Reagan Republicans not Trumpists.

 

I did not. post the link. Did not comment on this one way or the other.

 

I apologize I thought this was your post.

 

I say let’s give Kash Patel the names of the grand jurors who returned a true bill and voted to indict. Let him go after them while he’s weaponizing the FBI and seeking retribution against trump’s enemies. How dare they indict our demigod?

 

All of the persons on the list have demonstrated that in the end their ultimate commitment is the Constitution and the rule of law over loyalty to Donald Trump. Although most of them may be flawed in one way or the other in the end they refuse to sell out their country to a gifted demagogue with an orange complexion.

 

Kash Patel is Trump's Heinrich Müller or at least he will be in he's confirmed. Fortunately, unlike Müller he cannot have Trump's perceived enemies executed but he does have the potential to make life really miserable for the them.

 

National Police Association strongly supports Kash for FBI Director. We have to get rid of the leftist ID 10 T's that are currently running the FBI.
