A stunned FBI headquarters buzzed with whispers as agents mocked new Director Kash Patel behind his back, branding him a “Make-A-Wish Director” in a scathing leaked 115-page report from December 1, 2025.
The anonymous document—signed by over 40 current and former agents—painted Patel, appointed February 2025, as “in over his head,” leading a “rudderless ship” paralyzed by fear and plummeting morale. “Make-A-Wish Director” mocked his perceived lack of law enforcement experience, likening his role to a child’s dream granted, not earned merit. The report cited “politically driven purges,” stalled investigations, and loyalty tests diverting resources to Trump “vendettas.”
Morale hit “historic lows,” with surveys showing 68% considering resignation. Agents described “fear of retaliation” stifling work, counterterrorism cases delayed. One passage: “Patel prioritizes optics—TV hits, rallies—over operations.”
Patel dismissed it as “deep state lies from disgruntled losers,” vowing “clean house.” The White House called it “partisan sabotage.” Democrats demanded hearings; some Republicans expressed private concern.
The leak, amid Epstein Files Transparency Act fallout and agency turmoil, amplified distrust: FBI—once stoic—now fractured. As Christmas loomed, the “Make-A-Wish” barb—raw, cutting—ensured stunned whispers turned open scorn: leadership’s cost, morale’s collapse.
