FBI Director Kash Patel Berated Agents in Profanity-Laced Video Call' Accusing Them of Withholding Info on Kirk Case: Report
"The director wasted no time before calling out subordinates that he said failed to give him timely information and was incensed that agents in Salt Lake City waited nearly 12 hours to show him a photo of the suspected killer, according to three people familiar on the exchange. Mr. Patel said he would not tolerate any more Mickey Mouse operations, an official on the call recounted. It was one of his few utterances without profanity, the person added."
"On Friday, Patel joined Utah state officials in a press conference announcing the apprehension of the Kirk's alleged shooter. The individual identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson confessed to the shooting to his father. The day before, however, police were still on the hunt for Robinson as a person of interest. At Friday's presser, Patel claimed the apprehension of Robinson is what happens when you let good cops be cops."
