In an interview last year, Patel shared with The Gateway Pundit that efforts had been made to suppress his book’s release, due to its detailed account of corrupt actors within the government. “They’re trying to bury my book,” Patel stated. “It names names, exposes agencies, and gives a roadmap for how we remove these individuals from power to restore the American people’s trust in their government.”
However, not everyone is enthusiastic about the possibility of Patel heading up the FBI. On a Sunday CNN segment, former FBI Special Agent Daniel Brunner expressed serious concerns about Patel’s potential appointment, warning it would cause significant damage to the agency.
Brunner emphasized the importance of leadership at the FBI, stating, “The person who’s leading the FBI, the director, is responsible for tens of thousands of employees. You’re in charge of special agents, analysts, and everyone who enforces federal law and upholds the Constitution.”
Brunner did not mince words in criticizing Patel’s qualifications for the job, noting his lack of traditional experience. “There is nothing on his resume,” Brunner said, “other than three years as a line U.S. attorney at the Department of Justice. He has no experience leading an organization, let alone the FBI.” He argued that Patel’s aggressive stance towards those who had investigated Trump could lead to severe consequences for the agency. “He has clearly stated that he wants to exact revenge on those who investigated President Trump,” Brunner continued. “This could result in massive damage to the FBI, unjust firings, and revocations of security clearances for those simply doing their jobs.”
Brunner’s concerns are shared by some within the FBI. He revealed that many of his former colleagues are “very concerned” about Patel’s potential appointment, citing fears over what his leadership would mean for the agency’s future.

The controversy surrounding Patel’s possible appointment raises questions about the direction the FBI would take under his leadership. While supporters of the idea see it as a chance to clean up a corrupt and politicized agency, critics worry about the long-term impact on morale and the agency’s effectiveness. With both sides of the debate heating up, Washington will be watching closely as President-elect Trump finalizes his decisions on who will lead key agencies in the new administration.
