Meanwhile, the FBI co-deputy directors' message further described the Patel Report as marking the “closing of one chapter in our history and the beginning of another, complete with a brighter future ahead.”

The FBI message also said the Patel Report is intended to “promote fierce organisational accountability” and rebuild “public trust.”

However, the document’s existence is consistent with Patel’s vocal criticism of his predecessors and his determination to remove FBI agents he contends have “politicised” the bureau in the past.

he → remove → past
His critics, on the other hand, say he is the one who has “weaponised” the FBI and that his scrutiny of his predecessors and their decision-making is part of an effort to “rewrite history in favour of Trump.”
