"Bloodbath!" Kash Patel makes shocking move at FBI - Brian Tyler Cohen and Glenn Kirschner



Legal Breakdown episode 673: Kash Patel fires nearly a dozen FBI agents over Trump probe.

- Mass firings at the FBI: 10 employees, including special agents, were terminated by Kash Patel for their role in lawful investigations tied to Donald Trump’s classified documents case.
- Retaliation claim: The firings allegedly stemmed from the agents’ use of subpoenas to obtain phone records of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles — who later held high-ranking roles in the FBI under Trump.
- Legal vulnerability: Glenn argues that firing agents for performing lawful investigative duties may fall outside official duties, potentially opening Patel to personal liability in wrongful termination lawsuits.
- Morale & institutional damage: The purges are said to severely damage FBI morale, discouraging agents from pursuing politically sensitive cases for fear of retaliation.
- Precedent & legal strategy: Drawing parallels to E. Jean Carroll’s successful defamation case against Trump, Glenn urges agents to sue — arguing such actions can deter future abuse of power.
- Taxpayer burden: While lawsuits would be funded by public money, Glenn insists they’re necessary to hold officials accountable and prevent a culture of impunity in government.
