Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, relayed that they were under immense pressure to succeed and prove that they were capable of conducting a manhunt. As it turns out, they were not.

Turns out, having a podcast doesn’t make you a competent cop. Who knew…

Kash Patel is mad that some fucking moron fired all of the competent FBI agents.

In the Thursday meeting, Patel was furious that it had taken 12 hours for him to see a photograph of the suspected killer, and blamed agents in Salt Lake City (where he had fired the head of the FBI field office for unclear reasons just weeks earlier).

I just can’t imagine that these two things are related in any way. It isn’t like firing all the competent people in other agencies has had any kind of negative effects!

His agents aren’t bumbling. He personally kneecapped them.
