Kash Patel Officially Sworn In as New FBI Director

Kash Patel has officially been sworn in.

He’s now the FBI Director.

And I’m sure there’s people quaking in their boots, trying to destroy evidence as we speak.

We should see some massive change incoming now that Patel’s crusade against the Deep State officially begins.

Patel’s got his work cut out for him but at least the FBI has someone in charge that will start to clean that agency out.

Curious side note, he wasn’t sworn in on the Bible but on the Bhagavad Gita, which is Hindu scripture.

AP News reports:

New FBI Director Kash Patel has told senior officials that he plans to relocate 1,000 employees at FBI headquarters to field offices around the country and move an additional 500 to a bureau facility in Huntsville, Alabama, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions.

The plans were communicated Friday, the same day Patel was sworn in at the White House. They reflect his long-stated determination to reduce the FBI’s footprint in Washington and have more of a presence in offices in other cities.

The person who discussed Patel’s vision did so on condition of anonymity to describe plans that have not been made public.

At his swearing-in ceremony, Patel called the opportunity to lead the nation’s premier federal law enforcement agency the “greatest honor” of his life.

Patel was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday by a 51-49 margin, with two Republican lawmakers, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, breaking party ranks and voting against him.

“I think he’ll go down as the best ever at that position,” President Donald Trump told reporters Friday ahead of the White House swearing-in, which was conducted by Attorney General Pam Bondi and attended by Republican supporters in Congress, including Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio.

Trump added that the ”agents love this guy.”

Patel will inherit an FBI gripped by turmoil as the Justice Department over the past month has forced out a group of senior bureau officials and made a highly unusual demand for the names of thousands of agents who participated in investigations related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
