Bongino’s FBI U-Turn: Proof The Bureau Is Back In The Fight

During recent remarks at DOJ, FBI Director Kash Patel said, “We have a new FBI.” However, critics suggest that Patel’s statement is far too premature. How can an agency that many deemed irredeemable a few months ago be transformed so quickly? Shouldn’t the reformation of such a broken enterprise take years? Or decades, if at all?
Either Patel is sorely misinformed, or perhaps the FBI wasn’t so irredeemably corrupt. Many FBI hecklers have asked why FBI agents didn’t protest en masse during the implementation of Biden-Garland policies of politicized investigations and the weaponization of FBI resources against J6 protestors and Donald Trump.
The short answer is that smart people play the long game and don’t sacrifice the power of influence without considering complex factors.
On the Jocko Podcast, Jocko Willink references Oskar Schindler when asked a similar question, “head-on conflict is generally not the best way to solve problems. Most of the time, it is much smarter to maneuver and build allegiance and alliance with people so you can influence them and move them in the right direction.” He asks the question, how many people would Schindler have saved if he’d directly confronted the Nazis? Answer: none.
Willink goes on to cite another powerful example of influence. Major Richard Winters, most famously known by his depiction in the film Band of Brothers knew the value in preserving his power and his sphere of influence. “If you’re telling me, hey Jocko, go do the mission this way. And I’m like, I’m not doing it. And, you go, OK, you’re fired, and now you put some yes-man in my place…did I really help?” Willink goes on to say that even after influence fails, a leader still has the opportunity to mitigate risk. And that’s Major Winters’ example. When the war was over, for all intents and purposes, Winters was ordered to take his men out on an unnecessary mission and risk their lives. Instead, Winters allowed his soldiers to simply run out the clock and drink wine in a cellar. He mitigated the risk to his men. Had he not been there, they likely would not have survived.
