“If Kash Patel is confirmed, will he give the orders to open the files on the FBI’s follies, crimes, and cover-ups? So far, Trump has shown more enthusiasm for securing the FBI a ‘new and spectacular [headquarters] building’ than for exposing the FBI’s perpetual trampling of Americans’ rights and liberties. But Patel would be a Bureau boss who understands why people scoffed that the agency’s acronym stood for Following Biden’s Instructions.” [editor’s note: Patel was only interested in “leashing” the FBI when his partisan opponents controlled it. Now that his partisan allies control it, he’ll use it exactly the way they did, but harder – TLK] (01/31/25)
