FBI Director Kash Patel faces a monumental task in restoring public trust to what used to be the nation’s premier law enforcement agency and after only a day on the job, he’s already putting his stamp on the Bureau.

According to media reports, Patel is shaking things up by informing managers that around 1,500 personnel will be transferred out of Washington, D.C. to FBI field offices throughout the country, with 500 destined for the facility at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama.

“This will include streamlining our operations at headquarters while bolstering the presence of field agents across the nation,” Patel told FBI employees on Friday morning, according to The Washington Post which cited the now customary anonymous sources.

FBI Director Kash Patel has rolled up his sleeves and gone to work, and Alabama is the beneficiary. Media reports say he is sending 500 agents from D.C. to the bureau’s satellite HQ in Huntsville. That brings more jobs, investments, and dollars here. MAGA is good for Alabama. https://t.co/S6gj6gfcRG

“Director Patel has made clear his promise to the American public that FBI agents will be in communities focused on combatting violent crime,” an FBI spokesperson told The Hill, neither confirming nor denying the reports.

“He has directed FBI leadership to implement a plan to put this promise into action,” the emailed statement said.

After weeks of delaying tactics by Democrats, Patel was finally confirmed as the nation’s top cop on Thursday by a Senate vote of 51-49 with Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) crossing the aisle to join their leftist friends in opposition.

But it wasn’t enough to prevent the most feared man in Washington from getting the job of cleaning up the toxic mess made by his predecessor Christopher Wray who presided over the politicization of the FBI which effectively became the Democratic Party’s secret police.

Patel was officially sworn in by Attorney General Pam Bondi at the White House on Friday, becoming the FBI’s ninth director following a quarter of a century of bad leadership which, in addition to Wray, included the disgraced James Comey and Robert Mueller – who was the figurehead of the Russiagate witch hunt that framed President Donald J. Trump.

Appropriately, it was Patel who exposed Russiagate as a hoax when he was a congressional aide.

“We will uphold the Constitution. We will uphold ourselves to the Constitution. The men and women at the FBI — I have your back because you have the backs of the American people,” Patel vowed after being sworn in. “You will be held to the same high standard. Any deviation from that standard will not be tolerated at this Federal Bureau of Investigation.”

“I promise you the following: there will be accountability within the FBI and outside of the FBI, and we will do it through rigorous constitutional oversight starting this weekend,” he said.
