FBI Director Kash Patel defended the Justice Department’s decision to indict former FBI Director James Comey, arguing that the action against him was not motivated by politics.
In a post on X, Patel emphasized that “Career FBI agents, intel analysts, and staff led the investigation into Comey and others” and “called the balls and strikes and will continue to do so.”
“The wildly false accusations attacking this FBI for the politicization of law enforcement comes from the same bankrupt media that sold the world on Russia Gate- it’s hypocrisy on steroids,” he added. “Their baseless objections tell us now, more than ever, that we are precisely over the target and will remain on mission until completion.“
In a prior post, the FBI director said “previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust.”
Patel continued, “Nowhere was this politicization of law enforcement more blatant than during the Russiagate hoax, a disgraceful chapter in history we continue to investigate and expose.”
