Brilliant! Let’s LOWER standards at the FBI—because who needs elite, highly trained agents investigating terrorism, corruption, and organized crime? FBI Dir. Kash Patel is a genius! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...

To be fair, the FBI under Kash Patel no longer investigate terrorism, corruption, or organized crime.

I suspect they are pushing out agents whose loyalty is to the country and rule of law and replacing them with those whose loyalty is only to Trump. Obviously, standards have to be lowered to accommodate them.

A blithering idiot is in charge of the FBI. No more best/brightest. You think the CIA is any better? The US has been left open to attack by anyone with a pulse. If we don’t get kidnapped and disappeared by Trump‘s militia, we are likely to be attacked on a grander scale by half brained idiots.

You can’t get high performing agents and think they will work for Patel long term. Eventually, they will revolt. They need sycophants to build the Reich.

Well, that drunk Nazi did it for our military, so this is the next logical step. Trump is getting rid of experienced intelligence people because he doesn’t like their reports, i.e, the truth. And our tech companies are selling chips to China. I don’t think our country can get much weaker #MAWA

Well they lowered the standards for ICE. Makes sense for this administration to lower the standards of all federal law enforcement agencies. After all it’s how the Nazis got all the black and brown shirts in during the late 30’s.
