The Kash Patel thing is so annoying because it's just like, can you just let them have a victory? You know, the second you it's so selfish. Like, the second you insert yourself in the room, it becomes culture war, and it's like, let America have this great victory. These guys play their fucking asses off.
They're making big strides under Kash Patel and formerly Dan Bongino, but there must be something in the water in that building. I whew, and this really has been on display with the search for Savannah Guthrie's mom. First of all, indolence. Technically, what is indolence? I think it's perfect for the FBI right now. Inactivity resulting from a dislike of work or effort; a mentality to avoid work.
FBI director Kash Patel and the hosts of Fox & Friends managed to hold it together on Monday despite a chaotic start to their live interview. The Fox & Friends team were discussing the collaborative effort between law enforcement and military personnel that took place to transport arrested Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro through the streets of New York on Saturday, just hours after he was captured in Caracas in a surprise Delta Force mission.
Just a thought. In September 2023, he told Steve Bannon's War Room: Go take their money. Chris Wray doesn't need a private jet. We're not the guys running around on private jets and somebody maybe in Congress should ask for how many flights on a private jet Director [James] Comey took, or my predecessor, Director Wray took, and how many personal trips they took,
FBI Director Kash Patel raged at MSNBC Saturday over its reporting on his agency's alleged desired handling of the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. Comey was indicted by a grand jury last week for perjury and obstruction stemming from his 2020 testimony to Congress. Patel's vitriol was piqued after MSNBC's Jesse Rodriguez posted to X, MSNBC confirms: An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey.

James Comey disgraced the FBI by writing love letters' to the ADL and embedding agents with an extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization and the disgraceful operation they ran spying on Americans, Patel said. That was not law enforcement, it was activism dressed up as counterterrorism, and it put Americans in danger. He added, That era is finished. This FBI formally rejects Comey's policies and any partnership with the ADL.
They called the balls and strikes and will continue to do so, wrote Patel. The wildly false accusations attacking this FBI for the politicization of law enforcement comes from the same bankrupt media that sold the world on Russia Gate- it's hypocrisy on steroids. Their baseless objections tell us now, more than ever, that we are precisely over the target and will remain on mission until completion, he concluded. Thank you to this brave FBI team. Mission First.
Politicizing the murder of Charlie King to go after free speech is not a legacy, I believe, Charlie King would have wanted, Nadler told FBI Director Kash Patel. His comment came a moment after he asked Patel if he was aware the Trump administration was using Kirk's death as an excuse to crackdown on liberty and freedom of speech. Patel said he could only speak for the FBI and was not aware of such efforts.
I don't think you're fit to be in the bureau, but here's the thing, Mr. Patel. I think you are not going to be around long. I think this might be your last oversight hearing. Because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump and not the Constitution of the United States of America, Donald Trump has shown us in his first term and in this term, he is not loyal to people like you. He will cut you loose.
The former federal prosecutor lit into FBI Director Kash Patel for botching the aftermath of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination. Patel has faced intense criticism from inside and outside the administration for his handling of the high-profile case including for his announcement that authorities had a suspect in custody in the early hours after the shooting on Wednesday, only to later walk that back.
That led some in MAGA to question whether Patel was capable of leading the Kirk investigation, much less the crackdowns on political violence the movement desires. What they're saying: Patel "performed terribly in the last few days, and it's not clear whether he has the operational expertise to investigate, infiltrate, and disrupt the violent movements - of whatever ideology - that threaten the peace in the United States," right-wing writer Christopher Rufo wrote on X.
The false assurance was more than a slip. It spotlighted the high-stakes uncertainty surrounding Patel's leadership of the bureau when its credibility - and his own - are under extraordinary pressure. Patel now approaches congressional oversight hearings this coming week facing not just questions about that investigation but broader doubts about whether he can stabilize a federal law enforcement agency fragmented by political fights and internal upheaval.
Brian Driscoll, the former acting director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), along with two other former senior FBI officials, sued the Trump administration and FBI Director Kash Patel on Wednesday, alleging they were dismissed for political reasons. The three officials said in the lawsuit, filed in a Washington DC federal court, that they were fired by FBI Director Kash Patel in a "campaign of retribution" to purge officials considered disloyal to President Donald Trump.
