The FBI's internal promotion system, referred to as having a "rabbi," is blamed for the continued advancement of partisan agents. An agent who famously took a knee for BLM in 2020 has reportedly been promoted to lead Russian counterintelligence for the entire U.S. government. Critics argue that Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are being "run in circles" by these career bureaucrats because they lack internal agency knowledge.

Steven Jensen, the assistant director in charge of the Washington Field Office, has reportedly been removed from his post. Jensen is identified as the official who declared January 6th participants to be "domestic terrorists," a move that Serafin calls the FBI's first major personnel mistake. The firing is seen as a necessary reversal of a promotion that was originally intended to protect the bureau's "bodies buried" in the investigation.

Steven Jensen, the former assistant director in charge of the Washington Field Office, is being removed from his position. Jensen was a key architect in designating January 6 participants as domestic terrorists, a move that allowed the bureau to bypass certain criminal process requirements. Critics argue this designation was used to target the broader MAGA movement.

Kyle Serafin uses a "red dot" pistol shooting analogy to explain how the media and government force people to focus on small details rather than the broader trend of losing civil liberties. He identifies Steven Jensen as a "J6 warlord" who scaled the tactics used against January 6th protesters and is now in charge of the FBI's Washington field office. Serafin criticizes FBI Director Chris Wray for prioritizing the protection of institutions over the rights of citizens.

A clip of Joe Kent's testimony is played, where he alleges that the FBI and intelligence community were involved in planning and directing the January 6th riot through confidential human informants. Kent points to the Washington field office and Stephen D'Antuano, who previously oversaw the controversial Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping investigation in Michigan. Serafin notes that the FBI often uses "online undercover employees" to radicalize individuals before staging a takedown.
