When Kash Patel turns the FBI into Trump’s revenge squad, that’s not justice, it’s authoritarianism. Today it’s John Bolton, tomorrow it could be anyone who dares defy Trump. The Bureau’s credibility is being gutted from within. This is intimidation, not law enforcement. We should all be alarmed.

For everyone who is surprised or "alarmed" about this, stop it. We all knew this was coming. The FBI lawfully searched his precious MAL and he cannot get over it. Retribution has begun. Obama, Clinton, Comey, Harris and many others will see the FBI soon. Was always going to happen.

I’ve expected this since he first ran in 2016. It blows my mind how unconcerned many people are. I could have a very intelligent conversation about the reasons for this, but it is still hard to wrap my head around.

Thank you, Olivia. But just want to note, I’ve was alarmed in 2016 and for about 8 years have been way past alarmed. We are in J. Edgar Hoover territory & it’s gonna get worse. Time to revisit the 60’s in the history books.

It's slightly more dangerous too, because love it or hate it, Trump is playing this incredibly smart. He's attacking a former cabinet member, showing his current admin what will happen if they step out of line. They get little sympathies or protection from democrats, and it's further normalized

They told us in advance that they were going to do all of this. We thought there would be someone or something to stop them. They co-opted all of them, too.

The 77m morons that voted for him are to blame for the chaos, the orange idiot wasn’t shy about what he said he was going to do. The others to take blame for this mess are the ‘stay at home on the couch’ non voters.

I was alarmed after: Judge Dugan LaMonica McGiver Ras Baraka Nicole Collier And dozens more who have been sued, doxed, harassed or fired,all in the name of political revenge. It's like a tsunami tide that draws out & leaves fish gasping & stranded before it comes back in & drowns us all.

As someone who spent 10 yrs working in the FBI Lab, with some of our most dedicated public servants, both agents and professional staff, I mourn this. Is there no one left there who will stand up?

No. And you could ask the same about the military. For all those folks who are so sure the military will defend the constitution and not obey illegal orders from Trump, guess again.

Gary Snyder @garysnyder.bsky.social

Agree, completely so, but would add this important detail we shouldn't overlook: Next to Dan Bongino, the Trump Administration is most concerned with K$H. Patel is, like Bongino, more of a MAGA purist and less of just another opportunist using the moment to their advantage. Bongino & Patel believed.
