Additionally, others expressed concerns that Kash Patel, a loyal behind-the-scenes figure in Trump’s first administration, wants to undermine the federal security service and turn it into a vehicle for partisan retaliation.
Former FBI agent Jeff Lanza stated, “Look, 99.9% of the bureau is made up of hard working agents who adhere to the principles of fidelity, bravery, and integrity.” However, he has stated that his intention is to completely destroy the agency. How will that work out and how will it affect the agents’ morale who must report to him?”
Trump’s plan to implement a drastic reorganization of the FBI is the reason he chose Patel, an unusual nominee and outspoken opponent of the organization.
