FBI director Kash Patel abandoned a planned flight to see his girlfriend perform in Chicago on the same Friday he turned up at the White House, in an episode the Trump administration insists had nothing to do with any frustration over his conduct.

MS NOW reported that Patel abruptly cancelled the trip on the morning of 10 July 2026 after senior officials, who the outlet said had grown frustrated by a series of controversies, summoned him to the West Wing. The White House flatly rejected that account, telling the outlet the suggestion he was called in over frustration was 'totally inaccurate' and that he attended unrelated meetings.

Trump needs to cut loose this embarrassing manchild.

How do we end up with these people? 🙄

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Then again, "MS Now" is hardly an authoritative source.

[odawg]

His position is way above his capabilities at all levels.

“Then again, “MS Now” is hardly an authoritative source.”

I’ll take “MS Now” for $250 Alec...

[Texas Eagle]

Yes. And Kash Patel.

[Kleon]

I can picture Kash Patel googling “how to sober up fast” when he got the White House summons.

White House or Animal house?.................

I’m half-convinced that they are the ones willing to step up and try when asked. I think a lot of capable were asked to fill roles and do serious work, but turned it down because they either didn’t want to work for Trump or didn’t want to do the serious work that moves the needle to the benefit of We the People.

[BradyLS]

Great point. Consider the source.

In my professional line of work, I don’t know a single respectable person below retirement age who would even think of making a career change to go work in a senior executive post in a U.S. government agency. So you end up with cabinet posts filled with retirees, career politicians, or clowns looking for publicity.

[Jane Long]

Exactly.

It took how many posts to call these MS NOW FReepers out?

[ckilmer]

Most people have a hard time handling power.

We hate the normal behavior of kissing up and kicking down. Most people have to learn not do that.

People have to learn how to treat both success and failure with equanimity. It does not come naturally.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Kash has already called out the lie.
So many here ready to eat it up, though.
