President-elect Donald J. Trump’s picks for top jobs in his new administration have sent the swamp into panic mode with one rumored choice striking fear in the hearts of the corrupt establishment.

Buzz is building that the soon-to-be 47th president will select Kash Patel to head up the FBI where he will clean house and put the Bureau back into the law enforcement business, stripping it of its current unofficial role as the Democratic Party’s secret police.

The former national security adviser for the House Intelligence Committee has been a fierce critic of what was once the nation’s premier law enforcement agency before it was corrupted by Democrats and one retired FBI special agent was dredged up by CNN to warn that he would be an “extremely, extremely dangerous” pick.

On Sunday, FBI Special Agent Daniel Brunner told CNN’s Jessica Dean that Patel doesn’t have the experience to helm the FBI and suggested that he’d use his power to target Trump’s political enemies, a real knee-slapper considering that under current FBI Director Christopher Wray, the agency has routinely targeted conservatives.

“Putting someone like Kash Patel in the position of director of the FBI is, I believe, extremely, extremely dangerous because you just alluded to that his resume isn’t his traditional,” he told the CNN anchor.

“There is nothing on his resume other than three years as a line U.S. attorney at the DOJ. He has no experience leading an organization, no less a Cub Scout pack, to put him in front of the lead law enforcement agency in the United States and some consider the world to have him in charge of so many employees,” Brunner said.

“And he has clearly stated that he wants to exact revenge upon those that have investigated President Trump and those investigated those that are around him,” he continued. “He will conduct a massive amount of damage to the interior of the FBI looking after employees who have put their names on certain documents because they were just working the case.”

“There will be hundreds of employees who will be unjustly fired or had their security clearances removed only because he feels that it’s something he needs to do, so I think he’ll be a very, very dangerous pick,” he said, seeming to suggest that there should be no accountability for the abuses of the last four years, a reign of political terror under Wray.

“There are people who want to completely flatten organizations,” he later added.

It comes across as a heck of an endorsement for Patel.

“Multiple sources familiar with the Trump transition process have expressed deep concerns about the possibility of Patel being named FBI director, where he would be well-positioned to try to investigate Trump’s political enemies, declassify sensitive information, and purge career civil servants,” according to a CNN report on the possibility of an FBI Director Patel.

“Kash is frightening at the bureau,” the outlet quoted an unnamed source “familiar with internal deliberations about the role of FBI director.”

“President-Elect Trump is making decisions on who will serve in his second Administration,” said Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for the Trump transition team who was just named the new White House press secretary. “Those decisions will be announced when they are made.”
