🚨🧵 Kash Patel will become the next FBI Director this week, and he will quickly discover that he didn't inherit a law enforcement agency but rather a crime scene.

Here are the TOP 10 things soon-to-be Director Patel could consider to start reforming the FBI immediately.
Looks like a good guide to me.
Slightly OT but relevant to Mr. Kennedy’s Point #10:
NASA is also firing “probationary employees” according to Eric Berger over at Ars.
Between the deferred resignations and probationary cuts at NASA, Berger claims about 10% of the agency’s workforce has been trimmed.
I offer this w/o opinion. Just reporting what I’ve read.
Whelp: then there is this… ?
In the words of Emily Latella: never mind!
Rand, here’s a suggestion to improve things when you post from X. Sarah Holt uses something called xcancel to post threads for those of us who don’t have X accounts. It’s very useful.
threadreaderapp.com is also a useful resource.
Almost all these sound right to me, but I can’t make sense of
#5. CLOSE THE FBI NATIONAL ACADEMY
State and local authorities should have a natural mistrust of the FBI. They are the last line of defense between the federal government and their citizenry. Closing the National Academy will eliminate this less-than-arms-length relationship.
I don’t have any objection to closing Quantico but I don’t understand the explanation, nor have I heard anything bad about it specifically. What have I missed?
I don’t know, but the plethora of Joint Task Forces bring the Feds far closer to the day to day of local policing than the National Academy does.
I suspect Kash already knows this.
My concern is that the FBI – and other agencies soon to be under the microscope – are busy shredding and deleting stuff that, by law, ought not be shredded or deleted.
It’s official, the FBI is now a Kash only operation. ahem.
This should be delicious…
