So there's been rumors going around about Trump replacing him, but with who? Do you think they're capable of finding somebody competent or will it just be Dan Bongino?

Probably Andrew Bailey, who was appointed as a "co-deputy director" of the FBI. He was Missouri's AG and is a frothing-at-the-mouth right-wing culture warrior and extreme transphobe.

Patel was always such a boat anchor. He's not very useful as media frontman for Trump's, because his lack of credentials and charisma made elite media less willing to manufacture consent for him. And he's an incompetent administrator, and so the FBI is less useful as domestic secret police than it could be.

Bongino has the law enforcement cred that the media loves, and actual media skills. And he can't be any worse of an administrator.

I hope it's Danny Bongos. I think he's even more mentally unstable than Kash Money.
