Panic in DC: Former FBI Agent Sounds Alarm, Warns Kash Patel as FBI Director Would Inflict ‘Massive Damage’ on the Bureau
Tensions are mounting in Washington as rumors circulate that President-elect Donald Trump is considering appointing Kash Patel, a loyalist and former aide during his previous administration, as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Patel is rumored to be in consideration for the head of the FBI. GOP Sources have also independently confirmed this to The Gateway Pundit.
Kash Patel’s impressive qualifications include several high-ranking positions in the intelligence and defense communities under President Trump.
While running counter-terrorism for President Trump, the president oriented counter-terrorism efforts to wipe out ISIS senior leadership and other key operatives. He further oversaw the resuing of American hostages AND detainees being rescued and returned to the United States.
As a terrorism prosecutor, Kash Patel prosecuted ISIS, Al-Qa’ida, and other terrorist networks, and he was the lead prosecutor for the World Cup bombings in Uganda that killed an American and 76 people.
While Kash Patel was the Defense Department Chief of Staff, the DoD ended wars forever.
Patel has been one of the leading voices against the Deep State’s weaponization of government, corruption, and conspiracies, including Russiagate, the Trump investigations, January 6, and more. He recounts all of it in his recent book,
Last June, Patel told The Gateway Pundit they were trying to “bury” his book and prevent its release ”because the book exposes, by name and agency, every corrupt actor I encountered, puts them on blast, and tells the world how we remove them from power and restore our agencies to work for the American people.”
Now… Former FBI Special Agent Daniel Brunner sounded the alarm during a Sunday appearance on CNN, cautioning that Patel’s appointment would cause “massive damage” to the agency.
Brunner: It’s really important to understand that the person who’s leading the FBI, who is the director and then the deputy director, those are two very important positions.
You’re in charge of tens of thousands of employees, both special agents, analysts, everyone that is enforcing the federal law that is on the books and supporting the Constitution of the United States
. Putting someone like Kash Patel in the position of director of the FBI is, I believe, extremely, extremely dangerous because, as you just alluded to, his resume isn’t traditional. There is nothing on his resume other than three years as a line U.S. attorney at the DOJ.
He has no experience leading an organization, no less a Cub Scout pack, to put him in front of the lead law enforcement agency in the United States, and some consider the world, to have him in charge of so many employees.
He has clearly stated that he wants to exact revenge upon those that have investigated President Trump and those who investigated those that are around him.
He will conduct a massive amount of damage to the interior of the FBI, looking after employees who have put their names on certain documents because they were just working the case.
There will be hundreds of employees who will be unjustly fired or have their security clearances removed only because he feels that it is something he needs to do. So I think he would be very, very dangerous.

I still have a lot of good friends of mine that are serving in the FBI on the front lines, special agents. Necessarily, not all of them are supervisors. So I talk to a lot of them on the streets, and they’re concerned. They’re concerned, obviously, about the appointment of Matt Gaetz as a possible attorney general, and they’re, of course, concerned about Mr. Patel.
