Kash Patel is making some moves inside the FBI, including one that has the lefties a little angry.
According to CNN, the FBI has reassigned the agents who knelt in support of the BLM riots.
The reassignments, viewed as demotions by many inside the FBI, come nearly five years after the episode that ignited controversy inside the bureau. FBI officials offered no explanation for changing the roles to less coveted positions for the agents, according to sources.
The FBI declined to comment to CNN, citing its policy to not discuss personnel matters. Agents affected didn't respond to requests for comment.
Both the Left and Right are super angry that the agents got reassigned, but the Right is angry because those balloonheads should have been fired 5 years ago.
As you can imagine, it's very difficult to go through the process of issuing official punishments for federal workers.
A former FBI official said punishing agents involved in the incident now raises concern that the bureau is bypassing its regular disciplinary process, which can take months and even more than a year to review incidents.
Swamp creatures enjoy privileges that regular men could only dream of.
'This notion that the bureau would go after these people, it's just disgusting,' the former official said.
The kneeling incident in Washington, DC, occurred after a group of agents assigned to protect federal monuments and buildings were confronted by a group of protesters. FBI agents generally aren't trained to do crowd control and deploying them to face off demonstrators raised fears of a possible deadly confrontation, current and former bureau officials said.
Some of the agents that day, recalling another recent incident in which National Guard soldiers had handled a similar confrontation, decided to try kneeling as a way to deescalate tensions. It worked, and the protesters moved on.
They kneeled to "deescalate tensions" 🤡
The reassignments may be just the beginning.
After quickly ousting senior FBI leaders, the Justice Department has said it is reviewing the conduct of more than 1,500 agents associated with cases that have found disfavor in the new Trump era, including investigations of the president and his allies. FBI agents who executed the search warrant on Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and who worked on January 6, 2021-related cases have been bracing for possible retribution, current and former agents said.
