Summary
Trump announced plans to fire FBI Director Christopher Wray and nominate Kash Patel, a longtime ally, as his replacement, pending Senate approval.
Patel, known for his roles in Trump’s first administration and his vocal defense of Jan. 6 rioters, has advocated for sweeping changes in the FBI and DOJ, including purging officials tied to investigations of Trump.
He has criticized the FBI as politically compromised and pledged to address issues like crime and border trafficking.
Democrats are expected to strongly oppose his nomination.
Oh no! Without the FBI, who’s going to murder civil rights leaders and entrap morons into terror plots? Federal policing is an institution that we’d be better off without and people shouldn’t lick-boot just because Trump is the one fucking them up.
Historic Fascist movements necessarily have incompetence problems because they value loyalty over ability. Of course this did not prevent them from doing harm, but it did hasten their downfall.
