Although FBI Director Kash Patel is \u201cone of Donald Trump\u2019s men,\u201d the ranks of current and former Bureau employees who oppose the White House chief have demonstrated cohesion and a readiness to stand up to his administration. In order to bolster resistance to Trump\u2019s policies from within the FBI, a non-profit organization called the FBI Support Network is being set up to provide comprehensive assistance \u2013 including financial and legal support \u2013 to those being let go from the Bureau for showing \u201cinsufficient loyalty\u201d to Trump. <\/p>\n
Sitting on the organization\u2019s board of directors are Brian Driscoll, who served as acting FBI director in 2025; Michael Mason, former executive assistant director for the Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch; and Brian Dugan, former assistant director of the FBI\u2019s training division.<\/p>\n
The formation of the FBI Support Network amounts to yet another challenge to the current U.S. administration from both inside and outside the Bureau, signaling that the \u201cdeep state\u201d is expanding the toolkit it is bringing to bear in its standoff with Trump. As a result, the new fund \u2013 alongside K. Patel\u2019s ongoing crackdown on Trump\u2019s adversaries within and beyond the Bureau \u2013 will deepen the internal strife inside the FBI. This situation suggests that the 47th president\u2019s practice of applying a personal loyalty test to appointments for positions as critical as FBI director is proving equally damaging to the U.S. law enforcement system. The politicization of the FBI\u2019s work, coupled with the infighting between Trump\u2019s supporters and detractors within its ranks, is throwing the agency\u2019s operations into disarray. <\/p>\n
