That lovely quote from the movie Tombstone came to mind when I read that Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI Director by the Senate.
I hope, nay even expect that there’s going to be some kind of Mass Resignation Event among the Fibbie senior management — and there fucking well should be.
There has been a lot wrong with the various alphabet agencies who are nominally charged with looking after the American people, in that they seem to have misinterpreted their remit as “looking at” the American people, much in the way that an owl looks at a mouse.
The FBI has proven itself to be particularly at fault because they’ve gone after concerned parents, Catholics and who knows who else in a totally misdirected — and I use the word advisedly — identification of harmless folks like these as “enemies of the nation”.
How they might regard gun owners like myself we will not speak, because the actions of their vaunted SWAT teams speak for themselves.
So Kash, ol’ buddy, get in there and start rooting out the assholes — I’m pretty sure you know who they are — and don’t content yourself with just firing them; prosecute all those worth prosecuting, just as they have unjustly done to otherwise-innocent people in the past. (Ask the President how it feels.)
And while you’re there, shut down the stupid departments like Human Rights, not because the motives behind their creation were incorrect, but because the people managing them ended up using those motives as a pretext for harassing and indicting people in the most aggressive and venal manner.
It’s called “turning the tables”, and I can think of no worthier targets than the people who initiated and carried out those actions. They have, in short, betrayed their public trust and caused the public to fear, loathe and despise them, and they deserve to be severely punished in consequence.
I hope Kash at the FBI teams up with Pam Bondi to investigate, get warrants, arrest, and prosecute actual real crime unlike Biden and Garland did.
Be a bonus if the slippery fucks responsible for the billions in fraud DOGE is finding are prosecuted.
# Restore confidence in the alphabet agencies
# Fuck the liberals
The FBI has proven it is incapable of anything other than perpetuating crime.
Imprison the entire enterprise and confiscate their assets to pay down the deficit.
These corrections are long overdue. So much rot has fostered that they will either be traumatic or ineffective.
Vivek said the whole organization was rotten and proposed taking the 1/3rd of the agents “doing something ” and moving them to the Marshall service. I don’t know if 1/3 of the agency is worth a damn and moving the agents around might be like the Catholic Church just moving around chomo priests.
Ordinarily I’d regard the furor around this “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing ” but with the other happenings…I’m hopeful.
The best part so far is our local idiot media is starting to run crybaby stories about how important federal workers are. GFY.
My understanding is that the Marshal’s service is one of the few that actually has a good reputation for integrity. I would not want to pollute them with Patriot Front members, er, FBI dregs.
And while the political & legal dust settles I want to be there when Kash pushes down the plunger setting of the explosives to bring that brutalist monstrosity on Pennsylvania Avenue down. Clear away all but a small pile of rubble, salt the earth there (Trumps EPA will allow it) as Sarah Hoyt recommends, and leave a small plaque on the pile. “The Federal Bureau of Investigations Headquarters once stood here. Here endeth the lesson.” (To quote a line from The Untouchables.)
Under no circumstance should Kash Patel fire the 7th floor Mandarins. Instead, their security clearance should be suspended, “pending investigation”. Which should take about 2 years, as it has in the recent past. And the Mandarins will not be able to work elsewhere while ‘pending’…
I like the idea of these clearances as pending so they cannot work. why not make it last longer?
fbi crime labs motto:
* “We Make The Best Crimes!”
And the cherry on top…an hour ago DJT announced that DAN BONGINO has been appointed as the Deputy Director of the FBI…..!! I can’t take all the winning !!!
