FBI Accountability: Kash Patel as the Needed Remedy

FBI's Betrayal and Abuses

As Kash Patel prepares for his Senate confirmation hearings, he faces allegations that he would upend the FBI. And it's about time it was turned upside down.

Honest FBI agents have been victims of their corrupt leadership in Washington, D.C. The bureau's leftist command has misused its powers to target Trump and his supporters, all while disregarding liberal priorities.

Illegal Actions and Unconstitutional Behavior

For years, top FBI officials have engaged in inappropriate, illegal, and unconstitutional conduct, including:

• Spying on Trump's 2016 campaign
• Lying to secure a wiretap warrant against Trump adviser Carter Page
• Promoting the unverified Steele Dossier as a legitimate source of information

These outrageous actions laid the groundwork for the Russia hoax that haunted Trump for three years.

FBI's Favoritism

Despite clear evidence of wrongdoing, former FBI chief James Comey protected Hillary Clinton, ignoring her Espionage Act violations in the server-gate scandal.

Comey also shielded Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser, from his attorneys during an interview, violating his Miranda rights.

Political Censorship

The FBI has further compromised its integrity by colluding with Big Tech companies to suppress stories critical of Hunter Biden and the Biden administration.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has confirmed that the Biden administration pressured the platform to censor content, even resorting to screaming and cursing at executives.

Raiding Former Presidents and First Ladies

In an unprecedented and excessive show of force, the FBI raided former President Trump's home, even searching former First Lady Melania Trump's clothing drawers.

Contrast this with the lack of prosecution against Hillary Clinton for her mishandling of classified information or against President Biden for his mishandling of sensitive documents.

Clearing the Air on January 6th

Kash Patel, if confirmed, should release documents proving Trump's authorization of National Guardsmen to maintain order on January 6th.

This would expose the lies and political spin surrounding the events of that day and finally exonerate Trump.

Urgent Need for Reformation

The new Republican Senate should swiftly confirm Kash Patel to lead the FBI and restore its integrity.

He is the right person to root out the corruption and abuses that have plagued the bureau for too long.
