values and principles that are so
3:00
important to how we do our work local
3:03

3:48
leadership of Christopher they have used
3:51
their vast powers to threaten and
3:53
Destroy many innocent Americans some of

which will never be able to recover from
3:58
what has been done to them

America they have used their vast powers
4:37
to threaten and Destroy many innocent
4:40
Americans some of which will never be
4:42
able to recover from what has been done
4:44
to them cash Patel is the most qualified
4:48
nominee to lead the FBI in the agency's
4:50
history and is committed to helping
4:53
ensure that law order and Justice will
4:56
be brought back to our country again and
4:58
soon as everyone knows I have great
5:02
respect for the rank and file of the FBI
5:05
and they have great respect for me they
5:08
want to see this changes every bit as
5:11
much as I do but more importantly the
5:14
American people are demanding a strong
5:17
but fair system of justice we want our
5:21
FBI back and that will now happen I look
5:25
forward to cash Patel's confirmation so
5:28
that the process of making the FBI great
5:30
again can begin thank you Donald Trump
5:34
said cash Patel Trump speak to need the
5:37

5:48
of staff and Senior advisor to the
5:51
National Security Council was chosen for
5:53
his sted goals of reforming the buau
5:56
following years of eroding public trust

in 201 23 NBC News cited a poll that
6:03
found the Public's positive view of the

2018 on Monday incoming Senate Judiciary
6:12
chair Chu Grassley R IA wrote an 11 page
6:17
letter to Ray encouraging Ry to step
6:20
aside and move on to the next chapter in
6:23
your life adding I therefore must
6:26
express my vot of no confidence in your
6:28
continued leadership of the FBI although
6:31
he was originally appointed by Trump Ray
6:34
fell out of favor with the president
6:36
elect during the Biden Administration
6:39
following his perceived weaponization of
6:41
the BAU and the red on
6:43
myu R Nell has been mentioned among
6:46
those Biden may offer a preemptive
6:48
pardon according to local media in the
6:51
North America country pel who would need
6:54
to be confirmed by the US Senate has
6:57
never worked at the FBI and only spent 3
7:00
years at the justice department earlier
7:02
in his career in the National Security
7:05
division's counterterrorism section if
7:08
confirmed he has pledged to shut down
7:11
the FBI's headquarters building in
7:13
Washington and drastically redefine The
7:15
Bu role with intelligence gathering
7:18
according to international news agencies
7:20
reports after weeks of careful thought
7:23
I've decided the right thing for the
7:25
bureau is for me to serve until the end
7:28
of the current Administration in January
7:32
and then step
7:33
down my goal is to keep the focus on our
7:36
mission on the indispensable work each
7:40
of you is doing every single day and in
7:43
my view this is the best way to avoid
7:47
dragging the bureau deeper into The Fray
7:50
while reinforcing the values and
7:53
principles that are so important in how
7:56
we do our work are you going to be
7:57
seeking retribution against Donald
7:58
Trump's to go without saying but I'm
8:01
going to go ahead and say it
8:03
anyways this is not easy for
8:06
me I love this place I love our mission
8:10
I love our
8:12
people but my focus is and always has
8:15
been on us and on doing what's right for
8:18
the FBI because when you look at where
8:21
the threats are headed it is clear that
8:25
the importance of our work protecting
8:27
the American people and upholding the
8:29
Constitution will not change you and
8:32
what
8:33
absolutely positively cannot must not
8:36
change Is our commitment to doing the
8:38
right thing in the right way every time
8:42
our adherence to our core values our
8:45
dedication to Independence and
8:48
objectivity and our defense of the rule
8:51
of law those fundamental aspects of who
8:55
we are must never
8:58
change that's the real strength of the
9:00
FBI the importance of our mission the
9:03
quality of our people and their
9:06
dedication to
9:08
service Donald Trump's political
9:10
opponent it's an unshakable Foundation
9:12
that has stood the test of time and
9:14
cannot be easily moved and it you the
9:19
men and women of the FBI are why the
9:22
bureau will endure and remain successful
