Why did FBI Deputy Director Andrew Bailey resign amid turmoil at the bureau?
The number two highest ranking official at the FBI just suddenly resigned, and we need to look deeper at what's actually happening here. Let's look at the headline first. Andrew Bailey, the FBI's co-deputy director, resigned suddenly on Monday. He says that he wants to spend more time with his family, but the real reason why he's resigning appears to be how catastrophic Cash Patel is running the FBI just into the ground. One of the most recent developments was how Kash Patel demoted two senior counter-terrorism agents in the Washington field office over their handling of an investigation into purported harassing or prank phone calls to Stephen Miller's wife. But there are a myriad of other issues as well.
There is Cash Patel's appearance at Alina Haba, Donald Trump's former lawyer's wedding. This past weekend, and I'll talk about who Cash Patel took photos with there. There's the FBI hack. Uh, the FBI website was hacked by a group called Shiny Hunters, and it's described as a catastrophic hack. You have the FOIA request that was recently revealed showing that Cash Patel was demanding top people at the FBI respond to. an account called and I don't like this word, I'm just reporting on the facts. Retard Finder featured Cash Patel on one of their posts. And Cash Patel said, we need to respond and rebut Uh, retard finder's photograph of me calling me that. Again, I hate that word. I'm just reporting on what the facts are.
Um, cash Patel is also planning a trip to Russia to meet with Putin's team shortly. Um, and since January of 2025, about 2600 or 2900 FBI agents. Have either resigned or have been fired by the Trump regime. And a lot of those involve leadership positions. Let's break all of this down. So, Andrew Bailey, who was the former Missouri Attorney General, turned co-deputy FBI director, he resigned. Now, He was brought in to basically babysit Cash Patel because lots of people, even people close to Trump, said, Look, Cash Patel's a complete idiot and you need to bring in a grown-up. And even though this Andrew Bailey guy, in my view, is not a good dude and has been involved in a lot of Election conspiracies from 2020.
People viewed him as a lot more competent than Cash Patel. So he was kind of brought in to be an operator while Cash Patel goes to Italy and parties and drinks beer with the hockey team and goes to his girlfriend's concerts or Russia or whatever the hell that Cash Patel is doing. So this is one of the reasons that is being cited by NBC as why uh Andrew Bailey resigned.
Why were FBI counterterrorism leaders demoted over calls to Stephen Miller’s wife?
Two senior FBI agents were just ousted over investigations into alleged harassing or prank phone calls that were being made to Stephen Miller's wife. And so you have Michael Bergwald, the special agent in charge of counterterrorism matters at the FBI's Washington field office, and his deputy Cortland Ray were ousted from their positions by Bureau leaders. leadership after investigators determined that allegedly harassing phone calls Katie Miller, Stephen Miller's wife received from unknown individuals, did not warrant further investigation. So Stephen Miller And Cash Patel routed these prank phone calls to the counter-teller to the counter-terrorism division in the FBI. The counter-terrorism division's like, why the hell are we handling this?
These are like prank phone calls, and they didn't see this as requiring further investigation. And then these two individuals were immediately demoted. And these are career people who have hung on, despite the fact that 2,600. Other top 2900 other top FBI agents and leaders have been pushed out. So data point one, data point two. Trump's one time personal lawyer Alina Haba just married Turkish billionaire. In a $10 million wedding in a midtown Manhattan hotel. They apparently met recently, got married right away in the shotgun type wedding, allegedly. And take a look at this photo right here, where you'll see Cash Patel. Um, and who else is in this photo? Ali Abdalaziz is on the far left. He manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian, and Chechen M.
MMA fighters.
