Trump's FBI in TOTAL PANIC MODE with New LAWSUIT - Legal AF
Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down the explosive lawsuit filed by three former senior FBI officials against Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, and the Trump administration for wrongful termination based on political loyalty. They reveal how decorated counter-terrorism agent Brian Driscoll was fired after refusing to reveal who he voted for and declining to compile "enemies lists" of agents who investigated Trump or January 6th.
The hosts expose how Patel apologized during Driscoll's firing, admitting his "bosses" (the White House) were forcing the decision despite Patel's Senate confirmation promise not to politicize the FBI. They detail how Steven Jensen was targeted by January 6th defendants' online campaigns, while Spencer Evans was fired over petty COVID protocol disputes.
Kabateck and Karnikian show how Trump appointee Emil Bove told agents he could fire anyone who "lost confidence" in carrying out Trump's agenda—turning civil service into loyalty oaths and creating a national security crisis. - 09/13/2025.
