If Patel was there working toward security, he sure violated the FBI Code of Ethics re: alcohol. What a clown. A 45-year-old man has to take over a party of young 20's athletes to hope a bit of their win washes over him.

Most FBI Directors would have rushed to Palm Beach to supervise the attempted assassination. What makes him immediately sure that it was a lone nutcase? The FBI is the investigating agency as they released a local plea for Ring camera footage.

No and that’s what makes Patel freaking awesome.

For God's sake, do some due diligence before you post the drivel from this account and prove yourself a fool.
Ben Williamson: "Director Patel is on a trip that was planned months ago. It includes: partner meetings with Italian law enforcement and security officials (they invited the Director last July), meeting with Ambassador Fertitta (as a follow up to our law enforcement roundtable he hosted in January), meetings with Legat staff, and more.

The FBI also has a major role in Olympic security - as we do with the World Cup, F1, and more - so we have a U.S. consulate briefing on Olympic security and current FBI posture, as well as thanking FBI personnel on the ground."

And, good for him for taking some time to celebrate with our winning gold medal team. Hell, I would have been there in a hot second had I been invited.

Yes. The Olympics are planned far in advance.

But at the end of the day, Patel is a public servant and needs to comport himself appropriately while on official travel. Grifting to watch hockey games is not part of his official duties. There are rules and regulations about this sort of thing. Taxpayers should not be funding public servant partying.

Nobody would be complaining about him partying with the hockey team were he not already in hot water about using FBI planes to chauffeur his girlfriend around and using FBI agents to do her security, when she’s not someone who should be subject to having a security detail.

He’s clearly someone who is milking his role to squeeze every cent out of taxpayer.

Kash, much like the other Trump loyalists, live in the moment and don’t realize that the party is almost half over and there will be tons of post-administration reviews of the waste, fraud and abuse. Look forward to the day when Kash is sent an $10mm bill for wasting tax payer funds on himself and his girlfriend.

No one in government will ever hold him accountable.

Effing unbelievable level of incompetence compromising investigations, sources & methods, causing international incidents and on and on.

The day after Pretti was killed, FBI Director Kash Patel discussed the case on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures."

Patel said, "You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have the right to break the law and incite violence."

The FBI declined to comment for this article. Patel sought to clarify his stance in a Jan. 26 interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, saying, "We are not going after people and infringing on their freedom of speech to peacefully protest. We are definitely not going after people in their Second Amendment rights to bear arms — only if you incite violence and or threaten to do harm to law enforcement officials and break the law in any other way."

We asked 13 legal experts about Patel's statement. They agreed that Patel was wrong about the Minnesota law, although they cautioned that some states do ban guns at protests.

It turns out that Kash Patel hates reading. Kind of an odd choice for a lawyer, but I guess that's why he went to tier 3 Pace University for law school.

FBI Director Kash Patel doesn’t like to read briefings.

Forty-five current FBI employees spoke to The New York Times about the state of the bureau one year into Patel’s tenure, and his lack of interest in reading is one of the many revelations about their new director. What they had to say painted a damning picture of Patel’s leadership.

The stuff about 20% of the FBI diverted to being companions for ICE. I worry about the US being vulnerable to attack because FBI agents are "sitting in parking lots" waiting to arrest immigrants rather than doing the jobs they were hired to do.
