Kash Patel Is Already Making Beltway Bandits Sweat

Kash Patel will soon be confirmed as director of the FBI. It can’t come quickly enough. Patel’s pending confirmation may be why the searches for “witness protection,” erase iPhone,” and paper shredder” have skyrocketed in D.C. since Jan. 20th.

The Beltway bandits are on the run.

Just last month Dems fantasized that they might block Patel, along with Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. Trump’s surging popularity, now at the highest its ever been, destroyed any chance of that.

On Thursday, the former Department of Defense chief of staff cleared his first Senate committee on a vote of 12 to 10, putting him on track for a full Senate vote as early as this week.

Americans now know how deeply the deep state runs in Washington, D.C. The looming confirmation of Kash Patel will be the first reckoning at the FBI since the Church Committee’s 1975 probe in the wake of Watergate.

Since Trump’s first run at the White House in 2016, the FBI has been trying to take him down.

Patel led the investigation for Devin Nunes’ congressional probe into Russian interference, without which we might never have known that Hilary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for the so-called Steele Dossier, which was essentially a smear campaign passed off as actual non-partisan intelligence.

The FBI and Justice Department then used that “dossier” as justification for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) warrant to spy on the Trump campaign in 2016.

Think on that a hot second — a Democrat administration used the FBI and Justice Department to spy on a Republican campaign. It makes Watergate look like a parking ticket by comparison.

It gets worse.

Throughout Donald Trump’s first term, the FBI actively worked against the President. In fact, the FBI’s #2 official at the time, Andrew McCabe, confirmed to CBS that there were meetings at the Justice Department with the FBI on how they might remove the 45th President of the United States.

Having unsuccessfully tried to remove a sitting president, the FBI then went on to make sure Joe Biden won. During the 2020 campaign, the FBI laid the groundwork with the media and social media companies to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story. As the New York Post reported, the “‘FBI tipped us all off last week that this Burisma story was likely to emerge,’ an unidentified Microsoft employee wrote on Oct. 14, 2020.”

Instead of having its reporters hailed as modern day Woodward and Bernstein’s, the New York Post (the nation’s oldest newspaper) found itself censored and suppressed.

With Trump gone, the FBI then ran amuck, sending at least 26 agents to the Capitol on January 6th, most of which engaged in illegal activities, according to the long-awaited Inspector General’s report. It then dedicated 5,000 employees — more than 10% of its workforce — to prosecuting J6 protestors.

The FBI didn’t stop there. Biden’s G-men labeled angry parents as “domestic terrorists” and traditional Catholics as violent extremists.” The FBI went to far as to propose infiltrating Catholic churches as “threat mitigation.”

After 10 years of abuses, the FBI’s judgement day of reckoning may arrive this week in the form of Senate confirmation for Patel.

What might day one look like?

First to go will be partisan agents bent on changing elections and subverting democracy.

Pundits have also speculated that Patel might shutter the FBI’s brutalist concrete headquarters building on Washington, D.C.’s famous mall and boot its 7,000 agents out into the heartland where they belong. It might happen.

But those who know Patel expect him to make the Bureau get back to basics: FBI agents being cops, not intelligence agents.

The core mission of the bureau is to protect Americans from crime and defend the U.S. Constitution from domestic threats. Patel will likely target the top 10 cities for violent crime and work closely with the Department of Homeland Security and Tom Holman to extradite illegal aliens.  Expect him to redirect gumshoes to come down on cyber criminals and state actors who commit 800,000+ cybercrimes and ransomware attacks each year.

He’ll also likely be working closely with newly confirmed Health and Human Services Director, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to investigate racketeering and collusion among big pharma, medical boards, and medical journals.

What worries Washington most? In Patel we’ll have an FBI director who is serious about investigating corrupt public officials.

In an age where senior lawmakers are literally accepting gold bars as bribes and lawmakers making $200k a year have net worth’s north of $50 million, Americans are asking questions.

Expect the FBI’s new director to start finding answers.

LA Anti-ICE Chaos, Clashes With Police Spreading Around America

Published on

 

From the Daily Caller News Foundation

By Hudson Crozier

The unrest that has consumed Los Angeles in recent days appears to be spreading elsewhere as numerous rioters outraged at immigration raids were arrested across the country on Tuesday night.

Los Angeles authorities began making “mass arrests” late Tuesday and issued a curfew following days of rioting sparked by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests of illegal immigrants in the area. Businesses were seen in the process of boarding up their buildings in anticipation of possible looting, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

Local media outlets reported that major U.S. cities saw their own versions of Los Angeles’ chaos Tuesday night, with alleged assaults of police officers, fires, rock-throwing and other acts of violence. Protests and resulting arrests had already started to spread beyond Los Angeles as of Monday night.

Seattle

At least two people were arrested after protesters tore down American flags at a federal building in Seattle and burned them on Tuesday night, according to multiple reports. Earlier that day, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers were seen on video shoving back Antifa-style militants and firing crowd control munitions after the activists tried to block entrances and exits to the building, which houses an immigration court.

New York City

Eighty-six people were arrested overnight starting on Tuesday evening as protesters marched to a Manhattan immigration court and other locations, local outlet ABC7 reported. Police said people threw bottles at protesters and debris and traffic cones onto the road. Charges included assault, resisting arrest, reckless endangerment and obstructing government administration.

One exchange caught on video showed a woman pleading with protesters to let her drive past them on the road so she could go to work.

Illegal migrants “are having their children taken and their parents,” a traffic-blocking activist told the driver.

Another video posted by Sky News showed a mob trying to force its way past a wall of officers while screaming.

Denver

Protesters began gathering at the Colorado State Capitol building in Denver on Tuesday before moving off in a crowd to block traffic on two streets, Colorado Newsline reported. Police ended up in confrontations with rioters throughout the evening, arresting at least 17 on charges such as obstruction of streets, graffiti, assaulting a peace officer and unlawful throwing of projectiles, according to 9News. Police were reportedly seen throwing smoke bombs and pepper balls to disperse crowds.

Atlanta

Organizers of an anti-ICE rally in Atlanta on Tuesday night had agreed to disperse by 9 p.m., but some protesters remained and set off scuffles with police, a local Fox network reported. Rioters damaged three police squad cars by throwing rocks, police said, and threw fireworks at officers. Police used tear gas to disperse the agitators and arrested at least six.

LA Mayor Karen Bass Makes New Demands Of Trump At Monday Night Press Conference

Published on

 

From the Daily Caller News Foundation

By Mariane Angela

During a Monday night press briefing, Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass told the Trump administration to stop the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles.

President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles on Saturday after riots erupted following an ICE raid at a Home Depot. During Monday’s press briefing, Bass called for an end to the raids conducted by the Trump administration, claiming that the power to deploy troops or request assistance should lie with state and local officials, not the federal government.

“I would say stop the raids. Stop the raids, period. I would say give the power back to our governor, and if we need the National Guard, we can do it in the normal circumstances, which is the request is made local, and the governor decides, or not to, grant that to our city,” Bass said when asked what she would say to the Trump administration.

Bass reiterated her earlier stance and questioned the need for an additional military presence, given the National Guard’s current role in securing federal buildings.

WATCH:

“We didn’t need the National Guard. Why on earth? What are they going to do? Do you know what the National Guard is doing now? They are guarding two buildings,” Bass said when asked to react to the deployment of Marines.

Bass then called the deployment an unjustified and overreaching action.

“They are guarding the federal building here in downtown, and they’re guarding the federal building in Westwood. That’s what they’re doing. So they need Marines on top of it? I don’t understand that. That’s why I feel like we are part of an experiment that we did not ask to be a part of,” Bass added.

Despite Bass claiming that the National Guard’s deployment was unnecessary, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shared videos showing ICE agents in one of the vehicles being struck by rocks. Melugin also posted additional footage and photos of the aftermath, including an image of an ICE agent’s injury and a windshield damaged by a rioter’s rock.

Around 1,000 individuals wreaked havoc in Los Angeles Friday night, surrounding a federal building, attacking ICE agents, deflating tires and vandalizing government property, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The unrest caused significant damage and severe traffic disruptions, bringing several key city roads to a complete standstill.

On Saturday night, Trump authorized the deployment of the National Guard to assist local law enforcement and warned Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom that the federal government would intervene if local authorities failed to restore order.

In response, California filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration Monday, challenging the deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles to address the immigration riots. Attorney General Rob Bonta and Newsom said that federalizing 2,000 California National Guard members without Newsom’s consent exceeded the president’s authority.
