Considering that the person nominated for the director of the federal police force claimed he was shutting down the office and putting all 7000 agents in the field, I definitely concur that the last thing they need is more power.
“I’d shut down the FBI Hoover Building on day one and reopen it the next day as a museum of the ‘deep state,’” Patel said in an interview on the “Shawn Ryan Show” that aired in September. “Then, I’d take the 7,000 employees that work in that building and send them across America to chase down criminals. Go be cops. You’re cops — go be cops.”
The last part is generally--dishonestly--omitted in the headlines from our favorite and most trusted news sources. (edit: which is done to frame Patel as wanting to fire them all--a pathetic stunt that is no longer surprising from these corrupt tools.)
Anyway, what are these "circumstances" to which you refer?
- TheBozzCL 2y agoWell, for starters… the circumstances have appointed somebody who believes in the “deep state” stuff as director of the FBI.
- mp05 2y agoDownvote me all you want, but 'deep state' is just shorthand for the administrative state: unelected bureaucrats with the power to set policy, resist oversight, and accumulate unchecked power. Disliking the term doesn't make the reality any less valid. As for the parent comment, this administration plans to put more agents in the field immediately. Why is that a problem? Perhaps try persuasion instead of vague dogwhistles about 'circumstances.'
- ceejayoz 2y agoPatel is an unelected bureaucrat, just like the current director.
- aguaviva 2y agoUpvoting you actually, because what you're saying about the "deep state" is reasonably correct. And people really, really need to stop triggering themselves over the term (simply because it is often misunderstood and used as conspiracy fodder).
