that doesn’t make his conduct an exception to expectations about conduct by senior government officials - how hard is it to understand that? And if he is such a hockey nut, then why not attend the women’s game and celebrate with them in their OT win? |

Are you serious? There is an active shooter outside the president’s preferred residence of choice and the FBI director is pounding beers in a locker room in Italy. IDK any prior FBI director who would’ve comported themselves similarly. |
LOL. “There was a threat against the president in FL, but the hockey team invited me, so ‘hold my beer’ to get a new cold one.” Really? |
And calling them his "friends". He is 46 years old!! The team's MVP is literally half his age. Katel is old enough to be their dad and I don't see any of the actually players' dads in that locker room bonging beers. This guy is a deeply creepy jock-sniffing embarrassment. A terminal "bachelor" inviting himself into a locker room with naked male athletes half his age........... |
It would be short sighted for the FBI to declare that the threat against Trump ended with the shooting of the man at Mar A Lago. There were search warrants executed in Moore, NC last night. Interviews in his hometown. Patel should have been in the U.S. to give the impression that he takes threats seriously and is supervising the investigation. He really showed that the FBI does its best work when he is not there to muck it up. He has the judgment of a longtime alcoholic. |
| Yikes, those gay rumors aren't going to stop. What's next, flying a gov jet to an Abercrombie male photo shoot at a beach or inviting himself onto the set of the next White Lotus? |
Great points. IDK many alcoholics, but DY think he may have a drinking issue like Hegseth? All I can do to resist typing the DoD’s more commonly referred to nickname here. |

It’s not an assignation attempt because Trump wasn’t even there. And he was a Trump fan obsessed with the Epstein files so… |
| Literally every agency head in the federal government takes advantage of the free travel perks. They always justify a trip to London or Paris (or wherever) with some BS meeting, whether real or made up. Travel budgets should really be trimmed. |
Every agency head doesn’t have their own agency jet and security detail with accompanying costs. |
+1. The number of folks who opine based on FNC w/o really knowing details never surprises me. |
How much did this cost us, the taxpayers? |
You probably know many functional alcoholics. Patel is barely functional. His inability to read the room and prioritize what’s important makes me think he’s deep into it. I remember a photo of him in Las Vegas on a go cart looking trashed. I have to assume it’s his regular status. FBI directors used to be dour professionals with an air of mystery and competence. I don’t think they were ever photographed not wearing a suit. They had built back so much after J Edgar retired. |
