Katie Jerkovich writes for RedState.com about the FBI director’s latest work.
FBI Director Kash Patel recounted the numerous accomplishments the agency has had in the last seven months as he shone a glaring light on the epic failures of former President Joe Biden’s FBI to keep Americans safe, and it’s so much worse than we ever could’ve dreamed.
On Wednesday, Patel appeared in front of the House Judiciary Committee during the annual FBI oversight hearing and shared the shocking amount of arrests and successes the FBI has had while comparing it to what was done under Biden’s FBI.
“Under this administration, the FBI has arrested more than 23,000 violent criminals,” Patel said. “Twenty-three thousand in seven months. That’s twice as many year to date last year. We’ve taken over six thousand firearms off the streets. Six thousand guns are no longer in the hands of criminals in seven months.”
“We’ve identified and found and located 4,700 child victims, that is a 35 percent increase year to date, last year, he added. “We’ve arrested 1,500 child predators, that is a 10 percent increase year to date last year in just seven months. We’ve assisted our partners with countless counter-terrorism operations around the world. We’ve captured at the FBI four of the most top 10 wanted fugitives in the world in seven months.”
“To put that in perspective, that’s as many as my predecessor nabbed in the entirety of the Biden administration,” Patel continued. “On top of that, thanks to the help of the CIA, we collected and captured one of the individuals responsible for the horrific Abbey Gate bombing that led to the murder of 13 service members. We did that in two weeks. They didn’t do it in the four years of the prior administration.” …
… “Maybe the most important stat for Americans to realize, in just seven months, we are on track to produce the lowest murder rate in modern U.S. history by double digits,” he added. “Those are results, not of mine, those are results of the men and women in the FBI.”
