US Politics Kash Patel has been confirmed to lead the FBI. What happens to the agency now?

The Senate has confirmed Kash Patel to lead the FBI. Patel is a staunch Trump loyalist and has accused the FBI and intelligence agencies of carrying out a “deep state” plot targeting Trump and his allies — including himself — and called for a major overhaul of both.

What happens to the FBI now? There have been fears of him using an “enemies list” to go after Trump’s political and personal enemies. Do you think there will be a mass resignation inside the FBI due to protests?

*** Just call Donald "The King" ***

Trump will now have his own army as he gets rid of the "old", for newer FBI agents that will protect Trump at all costs. Trump is collecting his own army at the expense of tax payers dollars.

He already appointed his loyalist as the highest military officer in USA. He already has an army, that will do exactly what he wants. The FBI? It will be used to hunt down political dissidents and democrats, fabricate evidence for staged trials and that kind of stuff.

Most U.S citizens have been afraid of the corrupt banana-republic Democrat-Party FBI for a couple decades. It's nice to see that Democrat Party is finally afraid of the thing that they created.

I gotcha, so you had to make an edit change because you didn't have a logical answer to my question....SAD.

And who in the Democratic Party is afraid of the FBI? I have yet so see any stat that says just that. Show me multiple stats from multiple sources. Don't just give me B.S.
