Kash Patel Promises ‘Wave of Transparency’ at the FBI Within Weeks—Says Prior Leadership Withheld Key Information from the Public

FBI Director Kash Patel says the American people are about to see exactly what the old guard tried to bury.

“We weren't here in the FBI in the last five years when we had statute of limitations that were still in play, where we could have investigated criminal conduct.”

“Most of these statute of limitations are five years old, and we will investigate criminal conduct where we find a righteous case to do so and the law and the facts allow us to.”

Patel says the prior leadership failed to act—but now the truth is coming out.

“Could we have done more in the past? Sure, people before us could have. But what we can do now is continue to put out the documents and the information that these people withheld from the American public.”

And some of those documents are even new to them.

“As much as we know about Crossfire Hurricane, he and I just found out more last week, and we're continuing to work with Congress to put those documents out.”

Then came the most shocking detail yet:

“That's how vindictive the former leadership was. Not only did they bastardize the FISA process and lie to the American public, they withheld and hid documentation and put it in rooms where people weren't supposed to look.”

Then came the pledge:

“It's a good thing now we're here to clean it up and you're about to see a wave of transparency.”

“Just give us about a week or two.”
