President-elect Donald Trump‘s announcement that Kash Patel would take over as FBI Director was celebrated by some and dreaded by others.

Patel previously served as the chief of staff to the Department of Defense under Trump’s first administration. He’s since become known for his prediction that if he were to lead the FBI, he would close down the Washington, D.C. headquarters and deploy the thousands of employees across the country to work as law enforcement. The bureau’s recent reputation of targeting Republican politicians has led some in the party to celebrate a drastic change.
