In another potentially very big win, over the long term, for the MAGA movement and its efforts to drain the Swamp in DC, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel has fired a slew of FBI agents who were connected to the Biden era persecution of then-former President Donald J Trump, particularly the ones behind the horrible raid on Mar-a-Lago.
As background, the recent purge of FBI agents comes shortly after President Trump called on FBI Director Patel to do exactly that, saying that the various leftist “lunatics” who were allowed to fill up the FBI during the Obama and Biden Administrations need to be cleared out to make the bureau fair and justice-focused again.
Such is what the president demanded in a furious post on Truth Social on January 12, saying, “These FBI Agents are total Scum, in their own way no better than the insurrectionists in Portland, Minnesota, Los Angeles, etc. Kash better get them out, NOW! Radical Left Lunatics put in by the “Auto Pen” and Obama!”
Well, FBI Director Patel has now done that, firing agents connected to various scandals, such as the Arctic Frost operation that saw the FBI spying on conservative political commentators, organizations, and even sitting politicians, as he announced in a post on X in which he posted a picture of a ridiculous trophy the FBI agents made for themselves and said the “corrupt” have been removed.
Beginning that post, the FBI Director said the FBI used to be a “diseased temple” and he is clearing it out, writing, “People ask why I said the old FBI was a diseased temple. This is what corruption looks like when it thinks no one is watching: ➡️ A self-awarded trophy celebrating Arctic Frost, made by FBI officials. I disbanded CR-15 and removed the corrupt actors involved.”
Continuing, he noted that the legacy media would certainly start complaining about his decision to fire various leftist agents, but it is important to remember that they were fired for being “corrupt” and certainly deserved it. He said, “So when legacy media cries that President Trump’s FBI fired people and made sweeping changes, I have one response: You’re damn right we did.”
Now, according to a report in MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), exactly the sort of breathless legacy media report that Patel warned would be coming, number of field officers and senior agents have been fired. According to the outlet, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Atlanta office, the New York field office’s acting assistant director, and the former special agent in charge in New Orleans have all been forced out. Further, six FBI agents in Miami were forced out over their involvement in the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago.

President Trump, commenting on that raid at the time, said, “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar- A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.”
