'Diseased Temple': FBI boss reveals criminal investigation into feds who ran Arctic Frost probe
"I'm not going to let people get off the hook or get a hall pass," the FBI director told Just the News.
FBI Director Kash Patel says there is an ongoing criminal investigation into federal personnel involved in the controversial Biden-era "Arctic Frost" probe that targeted scores of President Donald Trump's allies and gathered the phone records of many members of Congress. "I'm not going to let people get off the hook or get a hall pass," Patel told Just the News.
Patel revealed the existence of the probe during a wide-ranging interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show Thursday night, where he also discussed the bureau's success in solving the case of the nearly five-year-old pipe bombs planted near the U.S. Capitol before the Jan. 6, 2021 riots as well as his sweeping reforms inside the bureau.
Ending political abuse
He insisted the FBI has been changed significantly to end political abuses of investigative powers and to refocus on solving crimes and stopping new terror threats like drones. And he credited the Justice Department, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, for pursuing prosecution of those abuses.
"It takes a little time to break down the diseased temple that they built here in Washington for decades. But I harp on the fact that this investigation should show the world how we are going to operate in every single investigation," Patel said, referring to the pipe bomb case where fresh agents were brought in to solve a languishing mystery.
