The FBI has been overwhelmed investigating James Comey “copycats” in the wake of his controversial “86 47” Instagram post, Director Kash Patel revealed Wednesday.
“Do you know how many copycats we’ve had to investigate as a result of that beachside venture from the former director?” Patel told Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier, during an interview from the bureau’s academy in Quantico, Virginia.
Patel indicated that the uptick in potential threats against President Trump since Comey’s May 15 post has been so substantial that the FBI has had to redirect significant resources – including agents focused on child sex crimes and drug trafficking – to investigate them.
“Do you know how many agents I’ve had to take offline from chasing down child sex predators, fentanyl traffickers, terrorists .. because everywhere across this country people are popping up on social media and think that a threat to the life of the president of the United States is a joke … and they can do it because [Comey] did it?” the FBI chief said.
“That’s what I’m having to deal with every single day,” Patel fumed. “And that’s why I’m having to pull my agents and analysts off – because [Comey] thought it was funny to go out there and make a political statement.”
The FBI did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for details on the surge in possible threats against Trump since the former FBI director’s Instagram post.

You man Kash’s girlfriend? I thought she’s a country singer.
“Patel, 44, who has never married, is dating 26-year-old country-music star Alexis Wilkins, who was present at his senate confirmation hearing in January.”

You’re right. Where did I read that otherwise? Old news? Fake news?
Meanwhile, Hegseth’s office is still apparently a mess:
And you can listen to this frightening report on RFK from Henry Ealy, starting at 13 minutes, going on for some time right up until his Department fast-tracking self-amplifying mRNA jabs and claiming gold-standard placebo trials using earlier flu shots as the control:

I see the Kash-haters are out in full force.....
So, Comey has become an instigator of crimes. Is that also a crime? Or, is he a protected elite?
Yep.
Don’t investigate the. Throw Comey and all copycats in the slam. There...problem solved
What a mess for Hegseth and the Pentagon. Too much “palace” intrigue. Spies. Counter-spies. Sabotage. Will it never end? Poor Pete.
Yes, but Patel is fuming.
I think the most fuming going on is with MAGA America. I don’t blame them one bit.
Comey is running cover for his friends
So we just respond with everyone making sure “86COMEY” is found everywhere.
No need to investigate anything. If Comey wants to feel real heat, just turn the “86COMEY” campaign loose worldwide.
Then we all get to watch Comey squirm.
I don’t hate Kash by any means. I do have an opinion of his job performance so far and I am very disappointed.
Many people don’t give blue ribbons for participation only.
I assumed Secret Service would have dealt with possible threats to POTUS?
Here’s how you deal with Comey. Undoubtedly they have uncovered embarrassing things and mistakes that he did in office. Strategically release the info to embarrass him.
Kash can turn me into a hard core cheerleader.
All he has to do is fire the 5,000 FBI agents/employees who worked on the J6 abominations.
They can write “I was just following orders” on their resumes.
Until that moment—yeah I have an “attitude” about Kash.
“Secret Service would have dealt with possible threats to POTUS?”
That was my understanding as well.
Kash needs to start slashing staff—not taking on more responsibility.
You make it sound so clinical. I’d just say he’s a major league asshole. .
Comey is an unstable juvenile little boy - hardly someone who should be in charge of anything.
Sooooooo……is he going to arrest anyone or just fume on TV?
