FBI Director Kash Patel fired back at liberal critics during a heated Senate hearing. “You’re looking at him,” Patel declared, pointing to himself as a victim of Biden-era FBI abuses. He vowed to dismantle political targeting while rebuilding trust in law enforcement.
Patel blamed Biden’s administration for turning the FBI into a “personal attack dog” against conservatives. He described being illegally surveilled during the Trump-Russia hoax investigations. Now as director, he’s purging corrupt officials who targeted patriots.
Democrats attacked Patel, calling him a “MAGA extremist” unfit to lead. Senator Patty Murray sneered that Patriots shouldn’t investigate “real crimes” like border security or election fraud. Patel shot back: “Your party weaponized this agency – I’m cleaning your mess.”
The director outlined new accountability measures starting this week. All agents must retake constitutional law training. Field offices will face audits for political bias. Whistleblowers exposing corruption get promotions, not punishment.
“The FBI will no longer harass moms at school board meetings,” Patel promised. He’s redirecting resources to smash Mexican drug cartels and human traffickers. Crime data shows murders dropped 18% since he took office.
Liberal media mocked Patel’s “amateur hour” reforms. But rank-and-file agents praise his leadership. One field agent said: “Finally, we’re allowed to arrest gangbangers instead of grandmas with MAGA hats.”
Patel ended the hearing with a warning to DC elites: “Try to sabotage this mission, and we’ll investigate you too.” Behind the scenes, sources say he’s preparing indictments against Obama-era officials for Russiagate crimes.
Conservatives cheer Patel as the first director in decades putting America first. “He’s draining the FBI swamp,” said a House Freedom Caucus leader. Polls show 72% of Republicans trust the bureau again – the highest since 9/11.
