Lisa Boothe on Kash Patel as FBI Director: Ending Retribution and Challenging the Deep State

Lisa Boothe, a contributor to FOX News Channel, has been at the forefront of discussions surrounding President-elect Donald Trump‘s recent nomination of Kash Patel as the FBI director. On ‘The Big Weekend Show,’ Boothe and her co-hosts delved into the implications of this nomination, highlighting the potential for significant changes within the FBI.

Boothe argued that Patel’s appointment is aimed at ending retribution inside the FBI and challenging the perceived deep state within the agency. She emphasized that the nomination aligns with Trump’s campaign promises and his commitment to reforming the FBI. Boothe criticized the reaction from some in the press and certain politicians, suggesting that their opposition stems from Patel’s alignment with Trump’s agenda and his plans to overhaul the FBI’s current structure.

Boothe also addressed concerns about the FBI’s supposed apolitical nature, pointing out historical examples such as James Comey‘s tenure, which she argued was not apolitical. She contended that Patel’s nomination is not unprecedented and that it reflects the democratic process where elected officials choose appointees who share their worldview.

The discussion on ‘The Big Weekend Show’ further touched on Patel’s statements about transforming the FBI building into a museum and redeploying its employees to focus on arresting criminals, which Boothe supported as a return to the FBI’s core mission.
