The FBI has fired multiple employees and dismantled its CR-15 public corruption unit following revelations that Republican lawmakers’ private communications were allegedly monitored during the Biden administration. "They tracked the communications of GOP Senators. They weaponized law enforcement against the American people. That era is over," Patel posted to X Tuesday afternoon.

"We fired those who acted unethically, dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad, and launched an investigation. Transparency and accountability aren’t slogans, they’re promises kept." The bureau’s response came just one day after internal documents surfaced detailing surveillance tied to the January 6 investigation. Newsweek reached out to the FBI for further clarification Tuesday afternoon via email.

Why It Matters

Patel's message adds to the continuing back-and-forth over whether the Department of Justice—designed to be separate from the influence of the president—has been weaponized by both the previous White House resident, former President Joe Biden, and his successor, President Donald Trump.

What To Know

FBI Director Kash Patel announced the firings on Tuesday, calling the surveillance “baseless” and pledging further accountability.

1. I don't believe ANYTHING these fascist fucks say

it's pretty obvious they're make up a whole lot of SHYTE

[JoseBalow]

6. I'm with you, I need proof for ANY claims they make

I don't trust a single word they say. None of them.

[Skittles]

7. they're getting rid of all agents who aren't outright Trump bootlickers

yes indeed

[Paladin]

2. Yeah, thanks a lot there, Mr. Transparency & Accountability. (nt)

[Harker]

3. It's "baseless" to investigate an insurrection?

[C_U_L8R]

4. Treasonous Republican co-conspirators

I’m heartened that they were watched… to keep our country safe.
It seems the truth will find a way of leaking out.

[choie]

5. I'd like to see hard proof of that "surveillance"

Just another attempt to divert attention to the utter destruction and criminal and unconstitutional behavior they have wrought.

8. I think the devil's in the details

The FBI is probably eavesdropping on Democratic politicians since right after orange fatty got in the WH. That's my read. Every accusation is an admission with these nasty f6cks.

[Zackzzzz]

9. Forgive Me Please,

but could it be they have "bad" Stuff on their communications?

[FakeNoose]

11. Maybe they were actually fired for something totally different ... like maybe they were whistleblowers

... and maybe Patel was worried that they would talk about the FBI surveillance on Democratic leaders?

I only know one thing - Kash Patel never tells the truth about anything. What the REAL STORY is, that's anybody' guess.

[Snoopy 7]

12. ever notice

The republicans always seem to state a "crime" and NEVER show any proof of "crime". If this group of crybabies are suposed to be the "alphas" well I guess don't tell them they are not "alphas" it will only make them cry...

13. The GOP has mastered "setting the narrative" with completely ludicrous LIES

knowing the media will never follow-up or hound them about it. And by then, the lie has gone around the world multiple times with nothing to stop it, and then they move on to generating the next series of lies.

14. Krazy Kash....

cool story bro

[JohnnyRingo]

15. "That era is over".

He's lying unless he adds "except for us".

16. Patel's Fate

There once was a man known as Kash,
Whose loyalty made a loud splash.
Though Trump gave no thanks,
They talked about ranks—
An ambassadorship paid in flash.

In Trump’s court, a whispering ghoul,
Named Miller, with cruelty cool.
He guards the dear king,
Feeds rage like a spring,
And loyalty’s the only rule.

Ask Comey or Wray what they’ve earned—
A lesson that Kash hasn't learned.
When Trump turns his back,
You’re under attack,
With loyalty's bridges all burned.

Now Bondi, who once got a bribe,
From Trump’s not-so-charitable tribe,
Shut probes with a grin,
Then dove right back in—
A trade for a darker diatribe.

She lied with dramatic aplomb,
Citing Padilla’s fictional bomb.
But facts weren’t required,
Just rage that inspired,
And maybe a future dot-com.

To serve such a boss is a trick,
Whose favor burns out pretty quick.
You’re toast when you’re through,
He'll scapegoat you too—
The sword that you kissed now must stick.

They cheer when Comey gets charged,
But soon they may find themselves marged.
For loyalty's fake,
And history’s stake
Is watching the faithful discharged.

So Kash, take your jet to afar,
Be glad you still walk, not just spar.
For unlike in Vlad’s reign,
You don’t die by pane—
Just lose your seat in the car.

17. Is that really why ir does it have to do with them opposing the Comey thing

and refusing to be involved in it ?
