Bloomberg Law reported Tuesday that FBI Director Kash Patel is “planning to shrink his legal advisory office,” the FBI Office of General Counsel. Those are the folks whose job it is to keep Patel from carrying out corrupt and/or illegal activities. Brunner also called FBI lawyers “incredibly important” and he said that any pushback against Patel is not personal but “because there are rules that potentially could be broken.” So, who will be in charge of keeping Patel’s bureau in check? While a few lawyers aided Trump's 2020 election subversion efforts, others played a pivotal internal role in stopping them.
