For decades, the FBI has wrapped itself in this twisted illusion of fairness and integrity while rotting from the inside. It’s no secret anymore; the bureau has been weaponized against everyday Americans, political opponents, and even sitting US presidents. Its reputation is shot. Its credibility is gone.

The FBIs credibility is cratering. Far right number is respondents in new NBC News poll who view the bureau “very negative.” A massive jump in just a few years. Country isn’t sustainable when Americans don’t trust its top law enforcement agency. DOJs numbers aren’t much better. pic.twitter.com/VLc65Qklsq

And now, for the first time in a long time, real reform may be unfolding.
Researcher Chris Farrell says the FBI operates with a “cover-your-ass” mentality, and that’s a big reason why public trust has collapsed.

Now, Kash Patel, Trump’s handpicked FBI Director, is getting to work. According to the New York Times, in a tone so panicked you can practically hear them clutching their pearls, Patel is “remaking the agency in his own image.” Translation? The days of a politically weaponized, deep-state FBI are numbered. Hopefully.
One thing we do know is that agents tied to shady investigations, endless leaks, and partisan political games are finally being booted. Others are being benched. The media is calling it a “worrisome upheaval.” But to Americans fed up with two tiers of justice, it sounds like sweet justice.
While the left calls it “purging,” we call it cleaning a filthy house.

The truth is, this isn’t about revenge. It’s about restoring law enforcement to what it was meant to be: a shield for the people, not a sword for the Deep State. And Patel, alongside Dan Bongino, is swinging the broom hard enough to rattle the New York Times.
Before being confirmed as the director of the F.B.I., Kash Patel made clear his intent to remake it in his own image, reflecting a larger desire by the White House to bend the agency to its will.
“The F.B.I. has become so thoroughly compromised that it will remain a threat to the people unless drastic measures are taken,” he wrote in his book “Government Gangsters,” asserting that the top ranks of the bureau should be eliminated.Behind the scenes, his vision of an F.B.I. under President Trump is quietly taking shape. Agents have been forced out. Others have been demoted or put on leave with no explanation. And in an effort to hunt down the sources of news leaks, Mr. Patel is forcing employees to take polygraph tests.
Taken together, the moves are causing worrisome upheaval at the F.B.I., eliciting fear and uncertainty as Mr. Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, quickly restock senior ranks with agents and turn the agency’s attention to immigration.Their persistent claims that the bureau was politicized under previous directors, in addition to their swift actions against colleagues, have left employees to wonder whether they, too, will be ousted, either because they worked on an investigation vilified by Trump supporters or had ties to the previous administration.
The actions have obliterated decades of experience in national security and criminal matters at the F.B.I. and raised questions about whether the agents taking over such critical posts have the institutional knowledge to pursue cornerstones of its work.
The New York Times is clearly uneasy. They’re trying to call Patel and Bongino’s efforts “abnormal.” but let’s not forget, raiding and indicting a former US President wasn’t exactly business as usual either, was it?

Bongino just announced that he and Patel plan to revisit a string of unresolved cases that the establishment conveniently ignored, from the J6 pipe bombs to the White House cocaine mystery to the SCOTUS leak. The Times calls this “rehashing right-wing grievances.” But for Americans who’ve watched the FBI play politics for years, it looks more like long-overdue accountability and real justice. The NYT piece goes on:
“The director and I will have most of our incoming reform teams in place by next week,” Mr. Bongino wrote on social media last week. “The hiring process can take a little bit of time, but we are approaching that finish line. This will help us both in doubling down on our reform agenda.”
He added that the agency would revisit past investigations, like the 2022 leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion on abortion, cocaine found two years ago at the White House and the pipe bombs found near the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. (Two of the cases were not the F.B.I.’s to start — the Secret Service investigated the cocaine and the Supreme Court marshal the leak of the draft opinion.)
“The director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest,” Mr. Bongino said, oddly referring to the pipe bombs as a potential act of public corruption rather than domestic terrorism. In his previous role as a podcast host, he insisted, without offering evidence, that the pipe bombs were “an inside job” and that “the F.B.I. knows who this person is.”
The F.B.I. typically does not talk about investigations, and Mr. Bongino’s statement did little to dispel perceptions that he and Mr. Patel are eager to rehash years-old right-wing grievances by revisiting episodes that have angered conservatives aligned with the president. Their actions have fueled the same criticism they leveled at the bureau under the Biden administration: that the F.B.I. is becoming weaponized.
We wouldn’t blame you if you thought this New York Times piece was ghostwritten by James Comey himself. It reads like a love letter to the old FBI guard, full of dramatic hand-wringing over retribution and dire warnings that agents might be too scared to target Trump. Nowhere do they stop to ask why the FBI’s credibility is in the toilet with the public. They don’t care. These are elites who believe they’re entitled to power, not accountable to the taxpayers footing the bill. Any non-partisan person can see that reform is long overdue. But instead of acknowledging that, the Times is out here writing puff pieces for the Deep State and trying to pass it off as journalism. The NYT piece continues:
In recent weeks, the F.B.I. disbanded the Washington field office’s elite federal public corruption squad, which was best known for investigating Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, among other sensitive inquiries involving prominent government officials.
The move, former and current agents say, suggests that investigations involving Mr. Trump could be out of bounds. Those extend to inquiries that might ensnare senior Trump officials who used the Signal messaging app to discuss highly sensitive details of military strikes on Yemen in advance. The platform is not an approved, secure means of communicating sensitive national defense information.
Now the New York Times is basically pouring one out for their elitist pals inside the FBI who are finally being shown the door. Top agents, some of whom are under scrutiny for their roles in burying Hunter’s laptop or peddling the Russia hoax, are being put on leave or asked to step aside. But let’s be honest: these aren’t victims. They’re the architects of the FBI’s collapse in public trust. Here’s more from the NYT piece:
Mr. Patel has put other officials on administrative leave with pay, including two men who dealt with issues related to Hunter Biden’s laptop, which Republicans have long insisted shows evidence of politicalization.
One of the men had already been disciplined for his work examining ties between Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia before Mr. Patel took over as director. “Anyone out there who thinks we have not taken appropriate action against political actors, you — they’re just making that up,” Mr. Bongino said on “Fox and Friends” last week. “We can’t go out and advertise this stuff.” Addressing the broader challenge of overseeing the bureau, Mr. Bongino described the demands of making “big, bold changes.” “Part of you dies a little bit when you still see all this stuff from behind the scenes.”
One F.B.I. lawyer was removed from a key job overseeing human resources and notified while on medical leave. Others have been forced out of jobs, typically with no explanation. A succession of top agents, all women, were given an ultimatum: Take a different post or be asked to retire.
The old guard at the FBI, and their mouthpieces in the media, don’t want reform. But the American people have had enough. They want an FBI that upholds the law, not one that protects the elite and punishes political enemies. What Patel and Bongino are doing is necessary.
Obviously, more work needs to be done; the rot within the FBI runs deep. But this fight looks to be heating up, and the elites know it.
