One of the people Donald Trump is most looking forward to in the next administration is Kash Patel, who will lead the FBI.
And FBI whistleblower Steve Friend is excited about the selection.
“I have long been on record as believing that the FBI needs to be shattered and scattered to the winds,” Friend told Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson on “Blaze News Tonight.”
