FBI Director Kash Patel recounted the numerous accomplishments the agency has had in the last seven months as he shone a glaring light on the epic failures of former President Joe Biden's FBI to keep Americans safe, and it's so much worse than we ever could've dreamed.
On Tuesday, Patel appeared in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee during the annual FBI oversight hearing and shared the shocking amount of arrests and successes the FBI has had while comparing it to what was done under Biden's FBI.

"Under this administration, the FBI has arrested more than 23,000 violent criminals," Patel said. "Twenty-three thousand in seven months. That's twice as many year to date last year. We've taken over six thousand firearms off the streets. Six thousand guns are no longer in the hands of criminals in seven months."
"We've identified and found and located 4,700 child victims, that is a 35 percent increase year to date, last year, he added. "We've arrested 1,500 child predators, that is a 10 percent increase year to date last year in just seven months. We've assisted our partners with countless counter-terrorism operations around the world. We've captured at the FBI four of the most top 10 wanted fugitives in the world in seven months."
"To put that in perspective, that's as many as my predecessor nabbed in the entirety of the Biden administration," Patel continued. "On top of that, thanks to the help of the CIA, we collected and captured one of the individuals responsible for the horrific Abbey Gate bombing that led to the murder of 13 service members. We did that in two weeks. They didn't do it in the four years of the prior administration."
The FBI director talked about what he called "Operation Summer Heat," in which the agency has cracked down on crime in places like Seattle, Miami, Charlotte, Memphis, Chicago, and New Orleans.
"To specifically highlight New Orleans and Nashville, there has been a 250 percent increase in violent crime arrests in those cities alone," Patel said.
"Maybe the most important stat for Americans to realize, in just seven months, we are on track to produce the lowest murder rate in modern U.S. history by double digits," he added. "Those are results, not of mine, those are results of the men and women in the FBI."

He later provided the number of drugs the FBI had kept off the streets, and again, the numbers are shocking.
-Seized 1,600 kilograms of Fentanyl off the streets so far, YTD, that's a 25 percent increase in seizures.
-100,000 kilograms of cocaine and meth.
So, let me get this straight: not only was Biden allowing criminals to flood into our country by utterly refusing to secure the border, but the FBI, under his leadership, failed to arrest violent criminals, get guns out of the hands of criminals, arrest child predators, and get dangerous drugs off our streets. This leaves one to wonder if this was incompetence or on purpose.
And what did the Biden FBI do instead? They targeted Catholics and Conservative groups like Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA.
Patel's testimony is another reminder of just how dangerous the Biden administration was to our country.
