Sen. Bill Hagerty enthusiastically supported Donald Trump's announcement he would nominate Kash Patel to lead the FBI.

The article from Rolling Stone discusses a plan by Republican Senator Bill Hagerty and Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, to significantly alter the FBI's structure and operations. The plan, which Hagerty has been promoting, involves breaking up the FBI into separate entities focused on different areas like counterintelligence, counterterrorism, and criminal investigations. This proposal comes in the wake of criticisms regarding the FBI's handling of politically sensitive investigations, including those related to former President Donald Trump. Hagerty and Patel argue that the FBI has become too centralized and politicized, suggesting that decentralization would reduce the potential for abuse of power and enhance accountability. The article also notes that this idea has been met with skepticism and opposition from some quarters, who fear it could undermine the FBI's effectiveness and independence.
