  • Patel's nomination is viewed as part of Trump's strategy to reform the bureau. He has promised to reduce the FBI's presence in Washington, redistribute agents across the country, and focus on tackling violent crime. "We let good cops be cops," Patel said during his confirmation hearing.

The article from Fox Baltimore discusses the views of retired FBI agents on the potential impact of Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, on the FBI. They argue that Patel's involvement could help restore public trust in the agency, which they believe has been compromised by political biases and internal issues. The agents suggest that Patel's outsider perspective and his experience in national security could lead to necessary reforms, focusing on depoliticizing the FBI's operations and enhancing its accountability. They highlight the need for changes in leadership and culture within the FBI to address what they perceive as a decline in the agency's integrity and effectiveness, especially in light of controversies during and after the Trump presidency.
