The confirmation of Kash Patel as FBI Director appears imminent, despite months of resistance from Democrats and entrenched bureaucrats stalling the process. Sources within the agency now reveal that some officials briefly entertained the idea of dissolving the FBI entirely to thwart Patel’s appointment.
A senior FBI agent, speaking anonymously, admitted the internal panic reached peak levels.
“We realized there wasn’t enough time, or enough shredders, to destroy all the documents that might expose certain people,” the agent said.
The comment refers to long-standing allegations of corruption within government ranks, including claims of politicized investigations and selective leaks, which Patel has vowed to investigate.
The idea of self-abolition surfaced during a late-night meeting at FBI headquarters, where staff reportedly calculated the odds of Patel uncovering inconvenient truths.
Another official, also unnamed, described the mood. “We figured if there’s no FBI, there’s no Director Patel,” the official said. “It was less about stopping him and more about saving our own.”
Patel, a former Trump administration aide and vocal critic of the intelligence community, has promised to root out what he calls a “deep state” within the agency. His nomination, announced late last year, sparked immediate backlash from Democratic lawmakers who accused him of being a partisan loyalist unfit to lead the nation’s top law enforcement agency.
Critics point to his role in exposing alleged abuses during the Trump-Russia investigation as evidence of his bias.
One veteran agent claimed the shredder scheme unraveled when they realized the paper trail was too vast. “We’re talking decades of files, some digital, some buried in basement archives,” the agent said. The impracticality forced the bureau to abandon the plan and brace for Patel’s arrival instead.
Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer has publicly opposed Patel’s confirmation, arguing it threatens the FBI’s independence. Schumer’s office declined to comment on the self-abolition rumors, but a party insider suggested the idea wasn’t entirely far-fetched.
“If the FBI thought it could vanish and take its secrets with it, I wouldn’t be shocked,” the insider said. “They’ve know their days are numbered since Patel’s name came up.”
Patel’s supporters, meanwhile, argue his leadership will restore accountability to an agency they claim has overstepped its mandate. His confirmation hearing, delayed repeatedly by procedural roadblocks, is now scheduled for today barring any last-minute surprises.
