Kash Patel, Trump’s pick to run the FBI, plans to radically change the FBI if confirmed. How will his ideas play out in practice?
From Just the News. President-elect Donald Trump sent shockwaves through the Washington establishment and the halls of Congress this weekend when he named Kash Patel as his choice to be the new FBI director.

While Patel appeared to be the favorite among MAGA supporters for the position, he also appears to have rattled those inside the FBI and Justice Department accused of using their power to undermine Trump.
The 44-year-Patel, in fact, made a public pitch for the post before being nominated, saying a top priority if confirmed would be to shutdown the FBI headquarters and “reopen it the next day as a museum of the ‘deep state.’” …
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Sunday told CBS News’s “Face the Nation” that Patel is a “very strong nominee” and said it is “no secret” that Wray will resign or be fired.
“You look at his background, he has a serious professional background,” Cruz said of Patel. “He was a prosecutor; he was a public defender. He was a senior intelligence staffer on Capitol Hill. He was a senior intelligence staffer in the White House. He was the chief of staff of the Department of Defense. He was the deputy director of national intelligence.”
But not everyone is pleased.
Former National Security Advisor John Bolton compared Patel to one of the former Soviet Union’s most feared secret police chiefs, Lavrentiy Beria, according to The Hill.
“Trump has nominated Kash Patel to be his Lavrentiy Beria,” Bolton said in a statement to NBC News’ “Meet The Press” on Sunday. “Fortunately, the FBI is not the NKVD. The Senate should reject this nomination 100-0.” …
House Speaker Mike Johnson congratulated Patel in a post on the social platform X.
“Kash Patel has extensive experience in national security and intelligence,” the Louisiana Republican wrote. “He is an America First patriot who will bring much-needed change and transparency to the FBI.” …
From Just the News. When Ronald Reagan sought to reshape the federal government nearly a half century ago, he and his team adopted a simple philosophy: personnel is policy. In other words, the people you hire, and fire, will make a difference.
President-elect Donald Trump’s new pick to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, subscribes to a similar prescription for the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, which has lost significant trust from the American people over a decade of scandal and failure.
From his time as chief investigative counsel at the House Intelligence Committee, where he unraveled the FBI’s bogus Russia collusion narrative, to his best-selling book “Government Gangsters” where he chronicled the weaponization of law enforcement against Trump and conservatives, Patel has laid out clear plans on how to re-focus the bureau on its core missions of law enforcement and intelligence gathering and away from politics.
That job, he insists, begins by cleaning house throughout the FBI’s several layers of leadership that became infected with ideologies like Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and created a culture where parents and traditional Catholics were viewed as extremist threats and support for Trump and the Second Amendment were deemed reasons to review an employee’s security clearance. …
Over the last two years in interviews with Just the News, Patel has laid out several ideas for fixing the FBI, including:
- Canceling plans for an expensive new FBI headquarters and turning the current headquarters into a “museum for the Deep State.”
- Moving leaders out of Washington and into the field closer to the people they serve
- Shrinking components of the FBI that have little public benefit; and
- Holding accountable those officials responsible for the politicization of prior investigations, including termination and prosecutions.
“The folks in power at the FBI and the IC (intelligence community) making these leadership decisions are terrified that their corruption. not the Bidens, and certainly not Donald Trump, but their corruption in government in senior positions will be exposed and subject to law enforcement,” he told Just the News earlier this year.
Patel’s book and his ideas for ending politicized law enforcement were a major factor in Trump’s decision to name him his the next FBI director.
Currently, the job is held by Christopher Wray, whom Trump appointed in 2017, and it includes a 10-year-old term. But it is widely expected Trump will either fire Wray or he will resign. …

FATHER GOD, AS I was listening to the minister in church today it brought the scriptures in ‘Isaiah 43:thru 19. ” comparable to what is happening today with the many elections coming forth for Trumps start of a new Term. ” YOU ARE MY WITNESSES, DECLARES THE Lord and my servant whom I have chosen so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am HE. Before me no God was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, evenI am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior. Chriatian prayer warriors this is what we have been praying into, God is making us pay attention to who HE really is He says I am not some foreign god among you. (v) 12-says I have declared (the future) and have saved (the nations) in time of (danger), and I have shown (that I am GOD)-God clearly speaks about HIM being the LORD, our KING and I will bring down all of them as fugitives. All through the scriptures God speaks of how HE can save us from the darkness we have been living in, seeing the evilness trying to penetrate our lives, our homes, our GOV. , Kash Patel has been selected by Trump for FBI Director, there is and has been mighty prayers for the selections of Pres. Donald Trump that HE would chose the correct, right persons for each Department. I truly believe the prayers and Trump realizing HE must rely on help from His Heavenly Father in His selections. God’s sovereignty -is in complete control and no one can reverse His actions. God says when ‘we pass through the fires, you will not be burned’. That is His words of showing us He has listened to our prayers and He will act, because He loves us. IT is up to us to have strong breakthroughs, and we have a start with the election of PRESIDENT TRUMP, the Interessors prayers, the Miracle that happened to save Trump life, that was God at work, saving His David. There is much work to do for Trump and the leaders He is picking to start 2025. Kash and many others face the ” cancel culture” and all of their philosophies. What has been happening these last few years is beyond the scope of comprehension. We could never imagine an army of drag queens, gay activists invading our schools. We saw flag burning this is how far we have digressed, this is why our Pres. TRUMP is trying to pick the new Directors for His Administration, the states have been in a state of confusion which was killing America. Kash Pateh has laid out several ideals for repairing the FBI – starting having truths to be important, follow his rules, the politizations and corruptions -and so much more. God, we are truly sorry for all of the attempt to destroy anything made in the image of GOD. So many have an identity crisis, they are so confused they lose their sense of direction, their anchor point, their vision. God, we must pray and have the walls of darkness and evil forces start to fall as we pray. We need warrior cries to fill this earth, our words must be from God’s Words to penetrate the darkness to obtain the supernatural gift that God gave us,. Our values are truth, because it will set you free. ” Ephesians _ 6-10-20 is what we must suit up in DAILY- read it, shout it or praise it- these verses decribes the concept of the ” full armor of GOD, ” essentialy instructing Christians to spiritually equip themselves with Gods power to stand firm against spiritual attacks from evil forces. We need to pray these verses to rely on Gods strength to face the challenges. We need to pray these verses over Pres. TRUMP, Kash Patel and all others who have been chosen to represent a position of Trumps leaders. God I realize the importance to communicate with you through prayer to maintain spiritual strength. We appreciate and pray for the clean up committes that are starting to take place. Let us Rock this administration with love, strength, wisdom, discernment – Yes we can with Gods words made into prayers. Lord bless Kash Patel and others to get voted in and bless Pres. Trump in all of His appointees. (v-17) Take the helmet of salvation and sword that the Spirit wields which is the Word of God. Looking for the biggest Rainbow in the furture.
