Kash Patel Has His Work Cut Out for Him Fixing the Disgraced, Incompetent, and Poorly-Dressed FBI
Kurt Schlichter


Just when you thought the once proud Federal Bureau of Investigation was utterly broken, it had to go out and completely humiliate itself in public by putting the woefully unprepared Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge Nosering Uptalky out there to explain that the Muslim dude who everybody else had called a terrorist wasn’t a terrorist. Yeah, he was a terrorist. Let’s not even get into how they left all sorts of relevant evidence at his unsecured house after searching it. Great work from a garbage organization whose sole focus, besides pursuing the latest DEI fads, has been terrorizing parents going to school board meetings to complain about perverts, praying Catholics, and grandmothers taking selfies in the Capitol Rotunda. What a disgrace. Boy, does Kash Patel ever have his work cut out for him, but he can do it with the right combination of institutional savvy and utter ruthlessness in pursuit of excellence.

Kash must start by enforcing standards, something the FBI hasn’t had in a very long time.

Let’s be clear about the problem. It’s a problem for many once-venerated institutions. At one time, these institutions had respect, even awe. If you grew up as a kid in the 70s, you watched Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., as Inspector Erskine, chasing bank robbers, mobsters, and commies on “The FBI” every Sunday night. No, the FBI wasn’t perfect, but they had a standard then. When they showed up, they looked like professionals. They spoke like professionals, not like valley girls spewing irritating jargon (“That is my ask.”) They weren’t a bunch of gender studies majors recruited straight out of the University of College. Most were lawyers, veterans or had previously been in law enforcement. Right now, we have an FBI that’s hiring baristas. Seriously.

...  What the FBI is not hiring for is quality. They’re hiring specifically not to have quality because quality people ask questions and don’t want to participate in the kind of fascist pogroms the establishment has been launching against normal Americans. The current FBI is pretty good at busting Americans for daring to believe they have a right to participate in their governance. Of course, they’re not so good at stopping mass killers or terrorists.  ...

The @FBI
 has NINE diversity advisory committees. A little birdie just told me that today they removed DEI signage at the Hoover building and reassigned people to protect them from termination.
@Kash_Patel can't arrive soon enough.

Actually, I don't care in the least if the agents of the FBI or its successor agency(ies) are well-dressed.  I care that they are competent investigators and have a loyalty to upholding and enforcing the laws of the United States, with out fear or favor, and to the Constitution of the United States, with an emphasis on the Constitutional rights afforded citizens, including all of those under investigation, victims of crimes and persons caught up in their investigations by circumstance other than having perpetrated or been the victim of a crime.

There is only one solution for the FBI.  Its end.  Pink slip everyone above first level supervision and merge it into a new agency of it and Homeland.  Do the same with Homeland.  And Trump selects an all new leadership group for the merged agency.
