The swamp is petrified! Those who controlled the FBI and the CIA for years are now shitting bricks in their pants over what could the incoming administration of Trump reveal and expose.
William Webster, a former leader of both the FBI and CIA, appears deeply uneasy about President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks—especially Kash Patel, Trump’s nominee to head the FBI. Webster’s concerns, however, seem to go beyond mere qualifications. His statement shows growing anxiety among Washington insiders about the potential for a new, disruptive FBI chief to uncover long-buried secrets.
The 100-year-old Fossil, Webster, served under presidents Carter, Reagan, and George H.W. Bush. He has now issued a pointed letter urging lawmakers to block Trump’s nominees, whom he described as “unqualified.” In his letter, Webster stressed the need for “nonpartisan leadership and experience,” warning that “the safety of the American people—and your own families—depends on it.”
Webster’s went all out against Kash Patel, whom he accused of prioritizing personal loyalty over adherence to the law. Patel, a close ally of Trump, is known for his work exposing controversies such as the Steele dossier and abuses within the Russia investigation. Webster warned that Patel’s leadership could set a “dangerous precedent” for the FBI, given what he described as Patel’s history of executing directives with unwavering loyalty to individuals, rather than the rule of law.
But here’s the truth! Webster’s alarm, anxiety over Patel stems less from genuine concern about his qualifications and more from fear of what Patel might uncover if given the reins of the FBI. Patel has been vocal about wanting to restore trust in the agency by rooting out political bias and investigating alleged corruption. For figures like Webster, who were deeply embedded in the FBI and CIA during pivotal moments in U.S. history, Patel’s approach could shine a light on decisions and practices that have remained hidden for decades.
Webster also took aim at former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s choice for Director of National Intelligence. He argued that her lack of intelligence experience and the complexity of overseeing 18 agencies made her an unfit candidate.
It’s so amusing to see the US deep state getting unnerved over Tulsi’s appointment.
Webster is a deep state asset, a fossil who has been to deployed by his masters to do badmouthing about these brilliant minds.
Trump’s allies, meanwhile, have rallied around his nominees, praising them as exactly the type of outsiders needed to reform entrenched institutions. Patel is a “perfect” pick for the FBI job, given his law enforcement background, global experience, and his pledge to rebuild trust in the FBI. He’s going to shake it up.
Lara Trump alsp pointed out that Trump’s cabinet selections reflect his vision for America—unconventional and unafraid to challenge the status quo. “Donald Trump isn’t a typical politician, so his cabinet shouldn’t look like a typical cabinet,” she remarked.
Webster’s warnings about Patel and Gabbard may resonate with some, but for many, they underscore an old guard’s fear of losing control. If Patel takes over the FBI, the agency could face a seismic shift—one that may expose secrets long buried by Washington elites. For insiders like Webster, that possibility is likely far more unsettling than any debate over qualifications.
