Speaking during a broadcast of “Breitbart News Saturday” that aired on Saturday, September 6, President Donald Trump’s Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, Peter Navarro, sounded off on all the agents who were at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) during the “Biden regime,” declaring that all of them need to be purged for what they let happen.
For reference, Navarro was one of President Trump’s leading advisers in the first Trump Administration, and as such was targeted for lawfare and persecution by the Deep State after Biden’s victory in 2020, alongside the former president himself and other leading advisers and officials like Steve Bannon. So, like many others persecuted during the Biden years, Navarro has a bone to pick with the FBI.
Commenting on the matter during his interview with Breitbart, Navarro disagreed with the framing of the FBI’s issues as being just a few “bad apples,” saying that all there during the Biden years were rotten. He began, “There’s this temptation…to say, ‘Well, there’s plenty of good people at the FBI. And you know, it’s like, these are bad apples.’”
Continuing, Navarro noted that all those who remained at the agency during the Biden years either directly engaged in politicized investigations or let them happen by remaining silent as they happened, saying, “I mean, here’s the reality. The reality is you’re switching up FBI. It’s like all you sons of b*tches, good though you might be, sat on your friggin’ hands and kept your mouth shut while they went after Donald Trump repeatedly, while they went after — put me in prison, put Steve Bannon in prison, investigated Christians.”
Adding to that, Navarro hammered home his point that those who stayed quiet during the Biden years are just as guilty as those who more directly engaged in persecution via prosecution of political opponents, saying, “You guys kept your mouth shut, so nobody at the FBI during the Biden regime can wear the mantle of good FBI agents because they kept their mouth shut.”
Navarro further added that, while some of them are actively and actually engaged in fighting “bad guys,” he doesn’t buy that excuse for the vast majority of them. He said, “I appreciate them being out in the line of duty and battle when they’re actually chasing bad guys, but I’m not buying [it].”
Then, calling for all of those Deep State hacks who either aided the Biden Regime directly or stayed quiet as it persecuted political opponents of the Deep State to be prosecuted, he said, “If they could do that to me and Bannon and go after Trump like they did, then they can do it to everybody, and that if we don’t hold them accountable, they’ll do it again, and they might start even doing it again as early as 2026 if the Democrats get the House back, because the subpoenas will start flying.”

Emphasizing just how radical of a change might be needed, he then said, “Everybody in this White House will have to make a choice about whether to bend the knee or maintain their oath of office, because by oath of office and duty, we’re not supposed to answer those subpoenas. Full stop. It’s a constitutional issue. I wouldn’t mind just getting rid of the FBI and starting all over again.”
