We're putting the mission first in the field. I took 1,000 FBI agents out of the national capital region last year and permanently moved them across all 50 states. On top of that, I took 500 intel analysts, took them out of Washington D.C. the Directorate of intelligence that we had scene been built up by my predecessors to sit in Washington and produce quote, unquote intelligence. And I said, I don't need that weaponization. What I need is intelligence to drive operations in the field. And I sent hundreds of intelligence analysts permanently to the field along with support staff. (20:01–20:17)
