They use weapons to seriously hurt our country.” “They use They use the Ministry of Justice to hunt their political opponents, which is illegal in itself, obviously this is not effective. “
These actions are a few hours in which Kash Patel, director of the Trump Federal Investigation Bureau, tests the hearing at the Senate.
According to two senior law enforcement officers, David Sundberg, the assistant director of the Washington offices of the Federal Investigation Bureau, was told that he would unemployment on Thursday and was ready to leave the bureau on Thursday.
A large number of special agents of Washington Wild Office participated in the investigation of the former special consultant Jack Smith’s investigation of the current President Donald Trump, as well as the riot of the U.S. Congress of the U.S. Congress on January 6, 2021, 2021 Large -scale investigations have led to criminal allegations of hundreds of people.

The current and former officials say that except for Gallo, everyone is qualified to retire and retire in full, and many people decide to retire. They did this, even though legal experts said they could have terminated civil servants’ regulations in accordance with the regulatory non -political appointment.
The current and former officials said that Jeffrey Veltri, a agent of Miami, was also dismissed.
Spencer Evans, a agent in charge of the Federal Investigation Agency Las Vegas Wild Office, told the staff that NBC News has dismissed him among officials at the Washington Federal Investigation Bureau headquarters.

Evans was sent to Las Vegas, Evans and Federal Investigation Administration Director FBI WRAY hired in 2017 and was forced to leave this month.
Past removal
The new director of the Federal Investigation Bureau has made significant changes in the past. In 1993, President Clinton appointed Louis Freeh, a professional agent who appointed Director of the Federal Investigation Bureau, ordered hundreds of heads of Washington to enter the field.
But this was 10 years after the Senate confirmed that FreeH was the director of the Federal Investigation Bureau. Although Patt has not been confirmed and did not work in the bureau, those who operate the agency with agency capabilities have something to do with him. Essence
The Trump team also installed a director consulting committee, including the latest employees of the former House Republican Assistant and Elon Musk SpaceX. It is unclear what roles these people play in firing.
An official of a federal investigation bureau said to the NBC news: “People are shocked.” “They have never seen such things before.”
Another Federal Investigation Bureau official said, “This is not completed yet.” “These are the highest people.”
The Federal Investigation Bureau is composed of non -party professional civil servants and operated, and the only political appointment is the director. In the past, the directors of the Federal Investigation Agency tried to keep a distance between themselves and the president who appointed them, and sometimes even investigated these presidents, like Freeh to Clinton.
Some agents hope that the new government will be positive. It is said that the new consultant introduced by the bureau is the technology, leadership and training, accountability system and organizational structure of the bureau. Patel once said that he hopes that there are fewer agents in the headquarters, and more agents in the wild, this is FreeH’s echo.
Former agent
Former officials of the Federal Investigation Bureau said that Trump ushered in a new era in a new era-experts said that this may fundamentally change the bureau and may bring major risks. They said that demolition may weaken the game.
The Federal Investigation Agency’s anti -intelligence and NBC news writer Frank Figliuzzi said: “Some of the Federal Investigation Bureau have the most experienced experience, and the longest leaders’ forced departure leaving our national security is in a dangerous area.”
The ten -year term is not only the inspection of the power of the Director of the Federal Investigation Bureau, but also to ensure that the directors and the White House are independent. J Edgar Hoover led the bureau for nearly forty years to use the Federal Investigation Bureau’s intelligence collection ability to extort and bully politicians.
Today’s Federal Investigation Bureau is more powerful than the 1970s bureau. It has huge electronic surveillance capabilities, aircraft fleets, exquisite technical capabilities, and one of the best -trained quasi -military teams. In addition to criminal investigations, Agents of the Federal Investigation Agency also conducted the most sensitive investigations of the US government, including finding spies and terrorists.
Another Federal Investigation Bureau official said: “This has a great shuddering effect.” “I think this is the impact of the required. Those who can retire strongly consider it. Plan manager, finance, Intel, etc. This. It is the foundation of institutional knowledge. “
Officials added: “The general emotions are that they would rather retire in this environment, but they were torn between tasks and retirement.”
At the confirmation hearing, Patel promised to look forward to it, not back.
He testified: “The Federal Investigation Bureau will not have weapons. Here, if I am recognized as the Director of the Federal Investigation Bureau, no federal investigation bureau will take any retribution to act.”
