These articles are insane. Does anyone read this bs and think Patel did anything wrong?

he went on an expletive-laden rant against his staff over the failures.

I don't care what Sean Hannity says, the FBI has needed a kick in the ass for decades.

Tempest in a teapot.

Stay focused.

Why do I have no inclination to go after Kash Patel?

Is it because I believe he’s trying his best, and that we should be focusing on finding everyone involved in Charlie Kirk’s assassination?

Steve Bannon is a jackass.

And I guess Laura Ingram should have handled the investigation.

Looks like a number of people who don’t do anything, also don’t like Kash Patel.

See my post earlier that the local FBI office withheld sharing info with Kash for 12 hours (!!) as to the identity of the suspect.

It’s like Sessions. No contorl over his agency.

He can’t just ‘clean house’ because of federal employee unions.

I lost interest when Bannon was mentioned.

It’s been a long time since I paid any attention to him.

Let’s keep our eye on the ball. Let’s find out everything we can about the shooter, who helped him, how deep the sedition goes, such as the FBI office delaying the photos to Patel for 12 hours, let’s handle that, and not swing at pitches in the dirt from leftist media.

The Deep State is thrilled with him.

I think he was fine. Apparently the Utah field office constantly fed him the wrong information. How would he deal with that? I feel bad for him.

The FBI is a government agency. The FBI agents are government employees. That means they are as competent and motivated as your average DMV clerk.

Patel was the one who ordered the release of the pictures - that resulted in the father identifying his son and turning him in.

It is exceedingly difficult to call this manhunt bungled.

It has been resolved exceptionally quickly.

Yes.

“Hours after the killing, Patel took to X to announce that the ‘subject’ in Kirk’s murder was finally ‘in custody.’

“In a post shared at 6:21pm, the director wrote: ‘Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with the FBI.’

“But just over an hour later - at 7:59pm - Patel walked back his earlier statement, announcing that the subject ‘has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement.’ “

Give the loudmouth Patel haters just a few more minutes and they’ll regale you with their worthless racist pearl clutching.

There’s a lot of people right here on FR that think they should be running the investigation.

Perhaps that’s why he went there. One of those behind the scene moments where he says I’m here to chew gum and kick a-s…and I’m all out of bubble gum?

FBI Agents are not covered by union protection, last time I checked.

I thought they would have some due process, but it is very little.

Ay, but they printed some truth. They just buried it.

God Bless Patel for firing this guy!

“But just weeks earlier, Patel had dismissed the head of the Salt Lake City FBI field office for reasons that remain unclear.”

Any other nuggets hidden in the truth?
