Confirmations Signal Badly Needed Change for the FBI | The Rob Maness Show EP 476

What kind of change though? That is the question. The American people’s trust in the FBI and our national intelligence agencies is at an all-time low, and for good reasons, as Lt Col Gabbard pointed out in her confirmation hearing you just saw. The overt politicization of these organizations has resulted in multiple layers of failures to protect the American people and are so brazen, the FBI even denied the January 1 New Orleans terrorist attack was even related to ISIS or a terrorist attack at all initially, even though the evidence was clear for all to see. Intelligence agency leaders lied and tampered with our elections and are in fact attempting to sabotage the second Trump administration’s policy implementation. The evidence is very clear that FBI leaders are insubordinate to DOJ directives over the January 6 case agents and participant identification requests. It even appears leaks about ICE raids to arrest illegal aliens might have been leaked by the FBI, putting law enforcement agent’s lives at high risk. This level of abysmal performance of duties intended to keep Americans secure and safe must be addressed immediately, or people will die needlessy. My guest today is Chris Piehota, a former Senior Executive Assistant Director who retired from the Federal Bureau of Investigation after nearly 25 years of experience as a recognized leader who led complex national security investigations, international security programs, and covert operational technology platforms.
