Kash Patel sent a letter to subordinates at the FBI prior to being sworn in as FBI Director on Friday afternoon.
He stated that among his top priorities is to “rebuild the American people’s trust in the FBI.”
“I am honored to have been nominated and confirmed as your new Director,” the letter obtained by Fox reads.
“While I’m new to the Bureau’s ranks, I’ve spent my career in government service and the past decade in national security, working shoulder to shoulder with the FBI and many of its partners throughout the law enforcement and intelligence communities. My commitment has always been — and always will be — to pursuing justice and upholding the rule of law, and I look forward to continuing that commitment alongside all of you.”
Patel reportedly described keeping Americans safe as a “no-fail mission.”
“As I take on this new role, my priorities for our organization are twofold. First is to provide you with the tools and resources you need to keep our communities safe. This will include streamlining our operations at Headquarters while bolstering the presence of field agents across the nation and collaborating even more closely with our essential partners in state and local law enforcement,” he told FBI employees.
“Second is to ensure we rebuild the American people’s trust in the FBI. We’ll do that by committing ourselves to full transparency with the people’s representatives in Congress and by upholding the highest standards in all that we do, ensuring rigorous obedience to the Constitution and a single standard of justice for all.”
“I know that you, the dedicated men and women of the FBI, are courageous warriors of justice,” he continued.
“I will always have your backs, because you have the backs of the American people. I look forward to serving with you in the years to come.”
This will be a huge step up from Biden’s highly politicized FBI and FBI Director Chris Wray’s targeting of innocent Trump supporters, pro-lifers, Christians, and concerned parents at school board meetings. This is perhaps President Trump’s most consequential nomination to be confirmed by the Senate.
Patel made similar remarks during his swearing-in ceremony on Friday.
WATCH:
Patel: To the Senators and the men and women of the United States House of Representatives, you placed an enormous trust in me, an enormous leap of faith, one that I didn’t know that I could possibly earn back, but I’m going to spend every single day on this job doing so. The fact that you placed the confidence you did in me has inspired me to reach new heights at this job. 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.
I know the media’s in here, and if you have a target, that target’s right here. It’s not the men and women at the FBI. You’ve written everything you possibly can about me that’s fake, malicious, slanderous, and defamatory. Keep it coming, bring it on, but leave the men and women at the FBI out of it. They deserve better.
And for those of you who think that there’s going to be a two-tiered system of justice, not with Attorney General Bondi. There’s a singular system of justice for all Americans, and there will be accountability. And the reason that this mission is so important is simply the following: 100,000 people last year raped, 100,000 people died of CCP fentanyl overdose and heroine, 17,000 homicides. Violent crime is out of control. We cannot have a United States of America where that is acceptable, where someone dies every 30 minutes or someone OD’s every seven, or someone’s raped every six. That cannot be allowed to continue, and it will not be allowed to continue.
Our national security mission is equally as important. Anyone that wishes to do harm to our way of life and our citizens here or abroad will face the full wrath of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And if you seek to hide in any corner of this country or any corner of this planet, we will put on the world’s largest manhunt, and we will find you, and we will decide your end state, not you. 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.
You will be held to the same high standard. Any deviation from that standard will not be tolerated at this Federal Bureau of Investigation.The men and women at the FBI who make us safe deserve better, and they are going to get it with our leadership and your support. God bless America, and God bless every single one of you. I love this country.
