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.

Comey knew full well what he was doing.
As I was about to say.
James Comey knew EXACTLY what he was starting.
James Comey is a pathological liar and an insurrectionist.
Arrest Comey and charge him with obstruction. Let the process be the punishment.
Agree. Someone has to stop all of this or this nation is doomed.
So DO SOMETHING, TONTO. otherwise he kicked your ass and Trump’s anss. Yet again.
Let the process be the punishment.

This is something that people like Comey are also fully aware of.
That the justice system can be used to ruin people’s lives. The road between investigation to verdict can be long, winding, and degrading.
They use it as a weapon.
Welp, Kash just guaranteed even more of these.
Comey is a dirty cop and should be in prison.
Kashed is such a fraud.
to sell a book!
Gee, Kash. Do you think that Comey getting away with it and laughing about it has anything to do with copycat crimes? Why bother investigating? If you do nothing to Comey (who wields much more influence) then what can you do to anyone else?
Kash and Dan are cut from the same cloth as Jim Jordan. Lots of bluster. Lots of tough talk. Zero action. Zero results.
To Mr Patel: Arrest Comey!!!
That will stop the copycats.
he’s really going to hate having to go after the 100,000 federal employees that we also taking unemployment... which is fraud
they know who they are, where they live, and where they work.
no excuse to not arrest them.
His girlfriend is a former-IDF intel Israeli who is the president of Prager U.
Just sayin’.
Then do something about him, Kash.
Geesh, what is it going to take?
To Mr Patel: Arrest Comey!!!
That will stop the copycats.
Agree!!
