The New York Times this morning had a lengthy article on the lengths Patel has gone to with the FBI to get even with the President's critics. In addition to overseeing the purge of non partisan career agents at the Bureau itself, Mr. Patel has also gutted internal FBI oversight of FISA by eliminating the office in charge of auditing complaints with Section 702 regulations. Another official with an instrumental role in Section 02 surveillance is Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch. Mr. Blanche was president Trump's personal defense attorney and he has warped the Department of Justice into a personal sword and shield for President Trump. (00:00–04:35)
