There are many professional reasons to be critical of FBI Director Kash Patel, the timing and firing of Walter Giardina is not one of them.
Corrupt FBI Special Agent Walter Giardina’s wife was battling cancer; she died last month at the age of 49. FBI Director Kash compassionately and ¹wisely waited to fire Giardina while the corrupt official supported his wife and later grieved her loss.
[¹I include the word ‘wisely’ because given the adversarial nature of the employee’s situation within the organization, Giardina was almost guaranteed to exploit the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) law, and subsequent legal protection, if he was terminated by Patel during his wife’s illness. Giardina is a toxic federal employee in DC, and the one thing these federal DC employees know best is how to exploit employment protection law.]
Keep in mind that Giardina was one of the lead FBI agents working for the Mueller investigation. The Mueller investigation was a clear coverup operation and all of the FBI officials within it knew they were working on a fraudulent precept.
As soon as he was terminated, Special Agent Walter Giardina sent his termination letter to Ken Dilanian of MSNBC who was one of the primary narrative engineers behind Russiagate. Dilanian immediately posted a screenshot of it on social media, noting “Giardina is a Marine combat veteran whose wife died of cancer last month at age 49.”
Just because Giardina served in the military and his wife was fighting cancer, does not mean Giardina was not a toxic and corrupt FBI special agent who used the power and authorities of his office for his own agenda. He was.
There are a multitude of genuine reasons to be critical of Kash Patel and his ability to remove the toxic puss represented by his agency operations in/around Washington DC. However, when a critical and smart decision is made, he should also be appreciated. Everything around the removal and timing of Giardina was strategically smart.
Giardina didn’t have compassion when he trampled citizen’s God give rights.
100% Correct. Nonetheless Director Patel smartly adhered to a classic truth: two wrongs don’t make a right…
Well…”all’s fair in love & war”?
Agree! That’s some high praise from Sundance! Righteous compassion when seen in DC deserves recognition! JMO
“Giardina didn’t have compassion when he trampled citizen’s God give rights.”
True. And Patel is correct in not stooping to the lowest levels that Giardina operates in. By waiting as he did, Patel was not showing respect for Giardina, he is showing respect for the FBI and his position as the agency’s director.
Actually I see Patel doing this corrupt guy a favor beyond the obvious FMLA, wife’s health insurance etc.
On 4/2 my wife was diagnosed with cancer. She died on 4/9. Her 68th birthday was 4/11, our 48th wedding anniversary was 4/15. Had to have my Doberman put down 4/22. My point being its probably better having traumatic events happen in a short time span. This guy can mourn his
wife’s death and the end of corrupt career at the same time
Prayers up. Challenging situation.
My sincere condolences for the loss of your wife and dog, Oldretiredguy. May their memory be eternal and may God grant you peace. Glad you are here with us.
So sorry for your losses. Treasure the memories. That’s what gets us through.
Yes, and tell her stories and your dog’s stories. That is a special way to mourn. God bless.
Prayers up for all the grief you have experienced in such a short time. I rely on the Bible and a Devotional that was given to me as gift upon my Baptism in 2023. Something I read within the Devotional says, “Your first response to any situation should be prayer”. I have found this to be quite true and extremely helpful. I hope it is true in your life, even if the information comes in retrospect. You are a testament to the strength of the human character, and to our ability to forge ahead even with strong headwinds. Again, prayers up.
My prayers for you sir. A lot of pain in a compacted time frame is excruciating. Go With God. Glad you’re here amongst friends
I am so sorry for what you are going through. I wish I was good w/words, but I am not, please know you do have my prayers and cyber hugs. If I could I would come and just sit w/you.
The words you said are so beautiful and sincere. You have the right words.
Yes indeed, straight from the heart.
Condolences 🙏🏻
I cannot find the words. Know my heart goes out to you…
Peace be with you.
May G-d bless and comfort you, and may the memories of your beloved wife and dobie be blessings.
Sincerest condolences for your losses that had to be heartbreaking.
I believe there is truth in your observation, based on my experience some 30+ years ago.
Oh my, what a horrible situation. I am so sorry for your loss. But you do have a point about having all of the trauma at once. Prayers for your healing, kind sir.
And may God give you strength to carry on.
My sincere sympathies, ORG – that’s much to bear.
“Tears are the heart speaking when there are no words”-I agree with you about the traumatic events happening in a short span but it takes a grounded person to handle all that stress. You are that person. Prayers for you.
Oldretiredguy, I’m so very sorry. I know how hard that is. Lost my husband, my stepson and both of my dogs in the same year of our 47 year marriage. I wanted to die too. May they all rest in peace.
Jesus isn’t done with you yet. Carry on and know that many others will continue to pray for you. What a reunion you will have!
My goodness, I do not have the words to explain how your post has made my heart ache for what you are going through! My prayers are with your and your family. I am sending you a BIG virtual hug!
I’m sorry. Stay strong. May your memories bring you peace and comfort.
Yes, do the right thing and let the chips fall where they may. That part is handled by God. Not our business.
Prayers and respects to you, sir.
Yes, he will mourn the less of his wife, and we offer our respects for his, and your wife too.
As to the end of his corrupt career, that is something that we the people can, should, and will celebrate.
Are Patel and Bongino slow-walking change?
Remove the worst Holder acolytes; return to hiring ex-Military; and return to pursuing actual crimes (see below post).
“People are policy.”
He fired a Marine veteran so they never stopped hiring ex military.
The guy was probably hired 25 years ago.
John Kerry was ex military, too.
Yeah, we get some dozzy’s some times.
Yes and he has three Purple Hearts, one self inflicted and nary a scar to show for them. Also those Purple Hearts got him early rotation out of Viet Nam.
Holder switched to hiring predominantly college graduates. This guy was probably hired before Holder.
Crenshaw!!! 🙁
Please remember the Family medical Leave Act as a variable that dictated the wisdom of the date of Fire.
Considering Wally broke his oath of enlistment, “I do solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic….” he has chosen to become an active enemy of the USA. May God have mercy on his soul.
Cause of termination very well stated. So the guy publishes his fired for cause letter? Some people are blind to their own corruption.
Funniest part of the letter:
‘For more information on how to file an appeal with the MSPB,
please visit http://www.mspb.gov.’ 🙂 🙂 🙂
Let him appeal all he wants to, the more he appeals the more likely he’ll be required to make some expose’ which would otherwise not be known; I’m a Marine Vietnam Veteran with no sympathy for him, everyone faces loss and/or hardship at one time or another, not everyone sells his soul to the highest bidder.
So much for his oath of enlistment.
Thank you for serving.
Thank you for your service. We’re glad you made it home.
“I’m a Marine Vietnam Veteran with no sympathy for him, everyone faces loss and/or hardship at one time or another, not everyone sells his soul to the highest bidder.” .. huecowacko
Ditto here … USMC 68-71, RVN 69-70, 2531 humped prc-25’s and 77’s, 5th and 7th Marines various battalions out of An Hoa. Dad 3 war vet, Airborne Ranger. Brother (in law) 2 tours RVN, Army Grunt. (fwiw)
My wife, of 30 years, also suffered and died of cancer, as did my daughter recently due to the covid rna shots.
I, my fellow honorable Veterans, or my family would never spit on this great nation, nor on it’s rightful Citizens, for stinking partizen politics or personal gain. Nor would we have hid behind our military service, or illness, or personal tragedies to evade the disgrace and punishment for criminal acts
Walter Giardina, and Robert Mueller (Col USMC, decorated Vietnam combat Veteran) spit on every honorable Veteran, and rightful Citizen, and ruined the lives of many honorable Patriots for nothing more than stinking politics!! … Hang the bastards!!
Thank you for your service to our country, sir.
A belated thanks for your service. You can add Tom Cotton to that last paragraph. We all are suffering from extreme anger.
AMEN!
Excellent point. I love the Marines.
HUBRIS – IS a VERY BLINDING PERSONALITY TRAIT
We need the waist line slimmed/trimmed in those alphabet agencies.
“Waste” line fits too.
When something good happens, complainers will say either, 1) you should have done it sooner or 2) you should do more of it. LOL
“Giardina is a toxic federal employee in DC, and the one thing these federal DC employees know best is how to exploit employment protection law.]”
So toxic he immediately forgot Kash allowing him to retain his health insurance through his wife’s illness, and ran to a known media hoax merchant.
Peter Navarro makes it clear who was fired.
Deleted.
Why yes, yes he was…..
Karma is apparently a high school girl’s sleepover pillow fight. For what these people did to Trump and many, many others, they deserve to spend decades in prison. Glad he was fired, but someone over there better be working on the serious stuff or this will just happen again and again.
If any right-leaning FBI agent ever did any of this stuff, they would already be in prison and the GOP would be cheering from the peanut gallery.
I don’t disagree with you, but it was encouraging to see Navarro raising this issue several days ago. Anyone from the previous or current Trump Administration or any civilian targeted by these thugs need to be publicly calling for accountability.
In my opinion, it only increases the visibility of what the FBI (and others) did, and the need for his current administration officials to act.
You start knowing bad karma as soon as He knocks at your door, but it’s too late.
EXCELLENT!
Arrested him as he was boarding a plane at Reagan International.
Humiliation being a favoured tool of sociopaths like Giardina.
Ask Roger Stone and his wife and the MSM who were alerted to be at his house for that shameful, infamous morning raid.
“apparently lied to the Grand Jury to secure my indictment.”
(From the twitter link)
Lying on an affadavit for an arrest warrant has been gone unchecked for years, from the local to national level.
I have NEVER seen any consequences for that form of perjury – even when it is later proven in court that the person was arrested is innocent.
Ecclesiastes 8:11 KJV
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
I was coming home from work today and saw a woman walking her large dog that lunged at a man riding his bike on the sidewalk. The man lives a few doors away from her and is or was a contractor. One who was dishonest and whom I had personal experience with- a real jerk. His wife was taken at a young age, cancer, not long after I had fired him for good reason. And though I cannot say a bad word about her, I had often wondered if it was “karma” for the sob, who, riding his bike down the sidewalk still appears to be a jerk.
I know many people cite karma but I have never seen people who do wicked things suffer the consequences. It may happen they will suffer consequence and I don’t know about it.
Perhaps God will give them their justice.
But, in our case my husband was wrongfully blackballed from an industry he loved. It changed the course of our life in many crushing blows.
We didn’t really realize what had happened to him at first, being naive to senseless evil and corporate blood sport, and when we finally learned the truth and obtained legal help we were too broke to afford a suit against the perps, who were quite wealthy and able to bury us financially in a legal battle.
This happened almost 40 years ago.
Currently, the Lawfare I have seen Trump not only endure , but defeat reminds me of our experience. Only we did not have the money, the smarts, and the lawyer to take it on. We were not without grit or courage or proof, but we did lack resources.
They thought they could beat Trump because it is a game the elites play and often win against normal people. I am so proud and amazed by Donald Trump.
I am not a believer in karma. Misfortune can be misunderstood and presume a cause and effect. However-
No thorn. No rose…
Matthew 13:30
Excellent.
I have not thought this out fully, but, IMO, Karma is not a physical act but the recollection of past misdeeds. “Regrets, I’ve had a few…” I don’t think Karma is payback; it is thought self-imposed.
Agreed. Wound up being blackballed ( and fired) myself. Found another job soon afterwards.
The day I was fired I got called in, and was actually expecting to receive Employee of the Month!
So I had my 5 month old infant daughter with me when it actually happened.
The person that had accused me and got me fired was female, and off her meds. I wasn’t the
only person that she arranged to get fired. Every single one of the fired were good, skilled, knowledgeable
workers. I continued working in my chose field for decades, but never worked in the particular role
that I had been. ( Won’t go into specifics).
The female that had me fired in front of my baby girl? It took 20+ years, but everything that she
had done finally caught up with her. Heard about it afterwards. Kinda hoped that she had been frog
marched out of the building. Never found out.
Dogs know. Former “friend”, boss, person I went camping, boating, hiking with.
Unfriended me after 30 years for being a Trump supporter. Then, I started to hear
stories from former coworkers of said person. Things kept coming out about his
work conduct, honesty, possible sexual harassment of underlings. Explosions,
intimidations directed out of the blue at surrounding staff.
Said person and I were on good terms decades ago. Said person also owned a dog.
But, the dog we had at the time went ballistic when he climbed out of the car at our
house when the dog was in the yard.
My wife noticed the exchange. ” You might pick your friends better. Judging from the
dog, he’s an asshole.” Both her and the dog were correct in this instance.
Dogs know.
In my own experience of a lifetime living with dogs, you are correct, pattyloo.
And he was fired just before having enough time in service to retire with a full pension.
Lol lol. Lots of these dirtbag FBI guys, like the ones that targeted Navarro, would *gladly* go serve the time Navarro served, if it meant they could get their retirement back.
Losing that nice $9-10k a month and $200 a month full health care for the rest of their lives is actually a much worse punishment than jail.
Oohhh you almost had it!!
Am I the only one who thinks he looks like a gigolo? The mustache, the goatee, the curls, the raised left eyebrow? Sheesh.
We’re glad you’ve been restored to your rightful position, Mr. Navarro. Praising GOD.
AND he looks like a holiwood immage of a modern day Rasputin.
Poor judgement and lack of impartiality? That’s it? Those are opinions. How about citing hymn and verse of violations of law, sworn oath, or code of conduct?
No need to give him ammo to try overturn his firing.
Kash might not be able to offer more details if there is going to be an investigation into his activities.
Since Bondi isn’t going to arrest anyone, what would be the point?
Give it a rest already. You don’t know what is or is not coming.
(Sorry Wordman)
<You don’t know what is or is not coming. (Sorry Wordman)>
I bet you didn’t see this one coming…
1
Oh. That one is minute. I had to read a second time.
Aren’t FBI managers & above “at will?” Meaning, they don’t have protection and can be fired without specific cause cited.
Probably still covered by civil service.
Depends on the paygrade as well as the skills of the person, and the department/role they’re in.
Regardless, it would appear that he was in the Senior Executive Service or was a career conditional employee. Thus, his avenue to a hearing by the Merit Systems Protection Board.
You save all that ammunition for when he sues to get his job back. Unearthing it once it gets to the MSPB is optimal.
If you lay it all out in detail now, you’re helping him and his legal team. Giving them time to nitpick and undermine it.
Doubtless there is an affidavit that details the specifics of his transgessions. This would’ve also been washed through HR before the letter is composed, including making sure the required parachute of possible appeal is mentioned at the bottom. It would not be unusual for these specifics to be provided to him as well as part of the personnel action. Naturally, the specifics would be “inconvenient” to also provide to the media, so just the cover letter goes. “Look what they did to me!!!”
Fusion Ken has entered the chat… again.
“remove the toxic puss represented by his agency operations in/around Washington DC. ”
So vile that even maggots avoid it.
I’m thinking Sundance probably meant ‘toxic pus’ instead of ‘toxic puss’, but hopefully this guy doesn’t have 9 lives in terms of his employment with the FBI.
While objectively and metaphysically speaking error has no rights ,per se , that said, prudentially speaking “there’s a right way to be wrong
(people of good will in error) and a wrong way to be right” (arrogant, pompous , mean and prideful) even if correct!
Patel got this right , it would seem and in the right fashion…
Profound wisdom, Kansas Jim.
Shouldn’t dozens be removed just in the WFO?
The FBI appears to be a wing of the Democrat party. Look at the openly illegal crimes they allow to go unchecked:
– Portland Antifa – one drug-crazed group can violently take over a city core?
– far Northern California / Siskiyou County drug cartels: Hmong, Mexican, and Chinese – using ‘trim-igrants’ to process their drugs in a multi Billion operation. Local authorities overwhelmed. (When local LEO found a way to pursue lawlessness, the cartels hired high-priced San Francisco law firms overwhelm them (played the Race Card).)
*** Patel should also return NEW HIRING PRIMARILY TO ex-Military. ***
People are Policy!!
BTW Sundance, on your next “crimes committed” update, could you list the potential dozen or more individuals recommended for criminal indictments by Devin Nunes?
Return hiring to only ex-military? Did you miss the part about this guy being an ex combat Marine?
Isn’t Alexander Vindman a retired Lt Colonel??
Or maybe FBI could recruit Gen Mark Milley, he’s definitely ex military.
And unfortunately a lot of our current younger military are now very “woke”. Obama and Biden recruits. Just about the age to get out and go into federal law enforcement etc.
“Keep in mind that Giardina was one of the lead FBI agents working for the Mueller investigation. The Mueller investigation was a clear coverup operation and all of the FBI officials within it knew they were working on a fraudulent precept.”
I recall that there were 40 FBI agents working for Mueller during his “investigation” (not sure if 40 was the total or the average). How many of them have also been dismissed? If not, will they be?
“As soon as he was terminated, Special Agent Walter Giardina sent his termination letter to Ken Dilanian of MSNBC“
Must of had him on speed dial? If this Dilanian critter wasn’t on the radar already, he is now.
It would be hard to believe that the entire propaganda media (talent, reporters, producers and staff, executives) are not in a surveillance envelope. This is an administration fully supportive of FAFO.
His name seems awful familiar. Didn’t it used to pop up on the radar
when David Korn’s co- stooge was mentioned at the start of Russiagate?
Is Korn’s partner in slim Izikoff? Or am I getting my scoundrels mixed up?
Make that “slime”. Having editing problems today.
Also, if they’re going to start mentioning the FBIers, and Mueller types,
isn’t it time to start continually mentioning the “journalists” and MSM types
that ran with the narrative?
Keep going! There are about 15,000 more corrupt FBI agents.
I’m thinking that figure is a little too low. One whistleblower prior fbi agent was hauled back to DC by the higher ups to investigate Jan 6ers. He was in another state working on a serious criminal cases when given orders to find and identify any person that attended that rally. He wasn’t the only one that DC phoned home. He fought back, was put on unpaid leave waiting for a hearing. With a wife and child to feed…losing everything, he quit. Exactly what they did to others who either played along or left broke. The Hoover Building should have been scoured and burnt to the ground. Anyone in DC out of a job permanently. Kash & Bongino could have overseen any Investigation into the remaining agents in the states before determining total closure or some type of restructure other than the FBI/Gestapo!
Toxic pus.
Very descriptive of DC in general.
He can present his case to the Merit System Protection Board (MSPB). There are 11,000 or so cases in front of him, and the central board currently lacks a quorum. I would guess that if he files now, probably a year before his case is heard. He will have to hire his own attorney. He can recover backpay and reasonable attorney costs. Damages are not awarded. I think terminated Federal employees have about a 1% of prevailing.
It’s higher than 1% from what I saw in 26 years as a fed. Saw a few good guys get their job back at MSPB. But I worked at an agency where being incompetent or a good ole boy insider got you promoted faster than just working hard. Hard to promote the hard workers, we need someone to actually pull their weight and that of the politickers, too.
And doing the right thing was risky, especially if you went against the insiders and ones on the “inside track”. So maybe our MSPB reinstatement rate was higher than average.
And saw lots and lots of terrible folks get their jobs back courtesy of EEOC.
Ken Dilanian: ” Many of his FBI colleagues told me he did his job scrupulously and ethically.” Typical MSNBC “credible sources.”
I hope they took his security clearance and passport, too.
Let’s find out who those many liar colleagues are and discipline them for unauthorized statements to the media. They can’t do that, policy is clear.
Discipline by firing or demotion?
ZERO SYMPATHY…
Well done Kash…
Me to the Dems…
Terminating a US Marine Lieutenant who was deployed to Iraq after the 9/11 attacks (as well as whose wife died a terrible death at a relatively young age) takes a lot of guts.
I don’t know if I could have managed that without being able to top his military record.
How many other former Marines were targeted by him or others in the FBI for J6?
Probably quite a few. He’s clearly a bad hombre.
Why?
If you are corrupt in your actions what else about you actually matters.
Things are so much easier on the internet.
General Michael Flynn’s thoughts must’ve been unavailable to you at the time of your posting.
That makes no sense. If you join the military, you can commit any crime and see no repercussions. And BFD on the wife. Everybody has a dead or dying relative that doesn’t give you a free pass.
you have to join the blue hats for that hall pass
past performance is no guarantee of future results
Gee he was good looking to and all the girls thought he was hot..Screw that
Having dropped the the blind telemarketer off the schedule who faked orders for ten years and no one had the guts to tell him to straighten up… I guess i can’t relate.
Kevin Clinesmith must be jealous, hes the only FBI criminal that got fired and 12 months probation (a slightly harder slap on the wrist).
Many agents are Political hacks with badges and guns! Perhaps, there is another LEO who I say is as bad as corrupt Feds, tell me if y’all agree. Sheriffs are politicians with guns and badges! There are so many corrupt ones it would be hard to count. Jus Sayin! 💁🏻♀️
I’m pretty sure there is not one FBI agent that isn’t corrupt to the core.
What’s the status of this guy’s security clearance?
It really feels like Trump is rolling up the wins lately BIGLY!
Boy did I just edit a doozie!!! Saturday Night!!!
Let monday morning (early) leave a crater at the FBI building
“Don’t cry for me Argentina, I remain quite near to you”.
Your presupposing Patel’s timing was intentional.
And that’s OK.
Wife dead at 49 of cancer.
. . .
Corruption and politics put temporarily aside, I wonder whether Giardina has connected the dots – that the same people he was in bed with in 2016 took out his wife in 2020/2021 (along with hundreds of thousands of others) in their collective efforts to bring down Trump and MAGA.
There is a wave of cancer deaths in the DC area right now, or maybe it’s just me and all coincidence. But I don’t think it is. I think the butcher’s bill has come due.
I won’t celebrate that. I’ll mourn all the evil done.
Although an arrest for seditious conspiracy and the delivery of some legal justice for CIA Ken Dilanian would be awfully nice.
And Corn and Ignatius too, while we’re at it.
Some are forming a larger view based on patterns of events:
What veiled powers were likely behind both the biowarfare democide degrading the US axis only, and the conspiratorial wrongdoing by mid-level government managers now being used as scapegoats?
Limited Hangouts are raining down.
The veiled powers continue untouched.
The Limited Hangouts misdirect attention to plausible reasons for the wrongs.
The genetic manipulation shot coercions are blamed on greed, fear, ignorance, and scientific uncertainty, but the plandemic itself was ginned up – the engineered virus was about a hazardous as the flu, safe alternative treatments were suppressed, harmful responses were pushed, and the whole thing was wrapped in global propaganda and censorship managed by the US government.
Obviously a coordinated global Plan managed by veiled powers working with the only entity capable of covertly “nudging” such global actions.
The Giardina drama is apparently just another scapegoat being thrown to the crowd, but some suggest that these lower level scapegoats imply that the machinations they were involved with were actually part of a much larger Plan, with real goals including the use of scandalous Limited Hangouts and scapegoats to keep the masses distracted from the real goals.
What are the higher real goals of the greater Plan?
Moving the US toward the planned end state: A totalitarian part of a totalitarian “multi-polar global governance”.
The veiled powers evidently decided decades* ago, observing the unstoppable decline of the US and rise of the China axis: “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em”.
(* Sept 2001 was almost 24 years ago, the decision was made before that. ae911truth.org.)
Fair enough that Patel waited.
Now that the wait is over and he’s fired, hold him accountable for the many crimes he committed.
My wise and compassionate letter would have been much shorter:
“GTFO. I hope you hang for treason. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Hilarious.
So he was vet so he should be treated as saint? Sometimes the most heinous crime were commited by soldiers who supposedly just following orders. His action were crminally and morally bankrupt.
I was in intel in the Vietnam era, I found that some of these jokers were good enough to not get caught yet! Then again, I was in the “draft years” so many would have to join or defect.
I suspect that Giardina is eligible for LEO retirement which is 20 years of service and age 50. In addition, he would get credit for his military service which is probably 4 years at least. In any event, he would be able to continue his FEHB health insurance with Blue Cross. I respect that Kash gave him the additional time to care for his wife and doubt that Giardina would have done the same for one of us!
I don’t think Patel waited to give him time with his dying wife…he waited because the PR hit to Patel would have been HUGE if he fired the guy while wife on deathbed.
Correct…
Media reports are indicating he was just short of having the time in service in a 6c covered position to get a full pension.
Was Giardina allowed to keep his BENEFITS and PENSION? If so, this termination wasn’t a suitable punishment.
You’d think a US Marine, and combat veteran, would have stood up to the corruption instead of perpetuating it.
Everybody has a price! If you’re good at what you do, the sky is the limit!
it was a military man who shot 5 at Ft Stewart. It was a military man who killed 17? at Ft Hood. LtCol Puke Vindeman was a military man. A uniform does not make you a saint. Although I believed it when younger because my dad was retired military. Even got in the car with a stranger when I had car trouble coming home from college one weekend. Because he was wearing a military uniform. Daddy almost killed me.
Bravo, Mr Patel.
I’d started to post several responses, all uncharitable to greater or lesser degrees– greater decisively predominant.
Instead I’ll just defer to Kipling in response to both Patel and to Sundance.
“Though I’ve belted you and flayed you,
By the living’ Gawd that made you,
You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!”
Helluva poem! Read it in high school! (’66)
To Paraphrase others recently:
When they do the wrong thing, we do the right thing.
So, just for comparison’s sake, is Delanian of MSNBC going to release evidence of his criticism of his network in their almost constant railing against Pete Hegseth’s appointment to be Secretary of Defense. After all, Hegseth served honorably in two wars (Iraq and Afghanistan) so that negates the “Marine combat veteran” defense!
It might be that you lefties want to consider how you are tanking future arguments before you rush on air to shoot yourselves in the future foot!!!!!
Alex 1689 had it right in his post above.
Do the Trump thing. Name people. Thusly per Alex 1689 Ken Delanian is henceforth “CIA Delanian”.
Even says so in his Wikipedia blurb. Which would be useful to piss of normies.
Sad to see that so many Marines have turned into “Always Unfaithful “ bums. So far there is Mattis, Kelly, Mueller(Big Rat), and this bum. Sure does make many of us Marines unhappy and ashamed.
When you look at how our military branches have become “politicized” starting in the 90’s when I was still in uniform……it’s understandable but repugnant to those of us who had higher standards.
Thank you for the analysis and thank you Kash for a ggod job.
Maybe it wasn’t compassion at all…..but just a smart move to keep this garbage from being able to use the system to cover his corrupt a$$!
Sorry..but anybody who engaged in any of the treason of this country….I have no compassion for. They must pay the price….then they can be forgiven if that’s what YOU want to do.
I will not be happy until THEY all pay a price….a heavy price! And for those higher on the treason list…like Comey, Clinton, Brennan. Clapper, Rice, Holder, Obama and many others……let them chose whether they want it by a rope or a firing squad!
It’s great we are all celebrating this, but seems to me just a while back we were rejoicing about Peter Strzok getting canned, no retirement, etc. and he seems to have somehow rescued his retirement? He won a large lawsuit and ended up going on the talk circuit, right?
Where was the FBI compassion when Melania Trump’s Mother died? Did they back off and give her a “respectful” distance, compassion, before resuming their lies and persecution?
Glad Dir Patel had the political acumen to side-step the narrative traps, but where are the rest of the terminations and arrests? Why aren’t they opening up and making public ALL of the FBI’s dirty laundry?
Sorry for my lack of ‘compassion’ but life (and death) happens. Deal with it.
Even the Babylon Bee knows the score – literally. They recently had an article heading – “click here to see latest arrests.” When you click, it says zero.
Waaahhh…
These guys are nothing but punks, running to the media to cry, looking for a foot hold, anything to help assuage their inner guilt, anything to reassure themselves that they were only doing the ‘right’ thing. Then, they were the big guys, throwing their weight around, full of it, bragging how they were the guardians of…whatever. Now, little b*tches still full of hatred.
Not sure I can be as charitable to Kash as Sundance because, he may be the boss, but he’s not always calling the shots. Left up to him, he’d probably fire no one. All talk and no action Patel. Firing should not be an end but a beginning for these traitors. They need to be brought to justice. There’s no excuse for going against what you have sworn to do, following orders be darned.
People give way too much weight to military veteran status. Some of the people I served with in the military were the best human beings I have ever known… but a lot of them weren’t. It does tend to impart a certain personality and sense of humor but even then not everybody picks it up.
Being ex-military does not automatically make one a patriot.
This is quite helpful, because it helps the grand jury understand why Dilanian needs to receive a subpoena for his role in framing PDJT and others if phony crimes.
That’s my Sundance! Credit where credit is due. Good work Kash Patel. Keep at it!
All of these vaunted fbi guys and gals who destroyed their oaths to our country need to be fired.
Walks away with a cushy lifetime pension. This is not how you hold people to account.
Let’s not forget he is walking away with a life time 6 figure pension
… and the final paragraph of the letter told him how he might appeal, listing the web site.
Ever notice that Sundance seldomly opts for the shield of “allegedly”?
Communicates to me that he is very confident in the human and other evidence available should a lawsuit ever evolve. Further, his certainty infers he believes the risk of a lawsuit – which opens the door to discovery – is low.
Pretty ****sy when viewed in the light of how the IC/DS/Left operate.
He’s spot on about exploiting employment protection law. Same can be said for EEO policies. There is a place for these policies – the underlying processes, however, are designed to draw out investigation and evidence collection for multiple years. Many decision-makers are unwilling to invest the time and resources. The next best course-of-action is simply to move folks into un-important jobs (degrades resume/promotion opportunities) or remote locations (creates family, style of life conflicts). Annual evaluations are the other path, but must be done with attention-to-detail.
