Many people were thrilled with the nomination and eventual confirmation of Kash Patel to be Director of the FBI. However, with decades of researching the political weaponization of the FBI and against the known capabilities of the nominee, we were not part of the thrilled group.
The non-pretenders looked at the challenge, contrast the scope of work against the skillset of the person selected to confront the institutional corruption, and warned people there was more reason to be apprehensive than optimistic.
Do you remember us outlining how the various FBI field offices would be keeping Patel/Bongino tied up with busy work, and stuff to go on TV about.
That said, we don’t want him to fail, but Director Patel has walked himself into a gauntlet of consequence that will be difficult to exit given his lack of discernment – evidenced in the events surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The people in control of FBI field operations (not Kash), set up their agency head by informing the boss a suspect was in custody.
The ever focused on public opinion, Director Kash Patel, then took to Twitter at 6:21 pm on September 10th to relay the news. According to media reports Patel was just about to eat dinner at a swanky New York City restaurant when he sent the text message.
We all watched it unfold.
[SOURCE]
After eating dinner at Rao’s, an embarrassed Kash Patel was then forced to retract his public statement, walking back his message that a suspect was in custody at 7:59 pm, a little over 1.5 hours later.
The FBI field operatives smiled. Egg applied as expected, it worked brilliantly.
Kash Patel couldn’t then turn to those who set him up with too much anger, because their defense was, “we were questioning a suspect, we didn’t tell you to go public with it – and as it turned out the suspect was cleared.”
It was a brilliant maneuver, likely intended to undermine his authority and position. It worked perfectly.
Did you see Kash Patel’s face the next day when he eventually did arrive in Utah and didn’t say a word at the microphone?
.
National media and DC political opposition now runs with the “incompetent” narrative, albeit rightly deserved but for other bigger matters, and the leadership structure of the FBI is weakened.
The institutional elements in control pulled off a great hit. Well played FBI bad guys. Well played.
Perhaps, just perhaps, Director Patel will shift his position and recognize the scale of opposition inside the institution he keeps praising. [Although I doubt his ego will allow him to reset.]
Kash Patel has essentially neutered himself by falling prey to the most transparently obvious ploy of the intel operatives within the institution.
Now, the media has a narrative to enhance, and Director Patel is scheduled to be questioned in the Senate later this week. What comes next will be entirely the result of his own self harm.
Those Machiavellian FBI guys are cruel.
Every adverse operative within the FBI will be back channeling specific investigative information to the Democrat inquisitors in advance, so questions can be specifically formatted.
Whether he can see it or not, FBI Director Kash Patel is being set up by his own agency in collaboration with the Senate guards in DC.
Unfortunately, Kash Patel is now in a defensive mode trying to promote his image over the past 24-hours by retweeting positive articles about him as written by the sources he uses to deliver information, John Solomon (Tick-Tock) and Brooke Singman (Fox).
It’s all quite transparent, and simultaneously a hot mess. “The more he spoke of his honor, the faster we counted the spoons.”
I’m not sure if President Trump can see it unfolding, or if President Trump is simply trying to support his FBI director and simultaneously avoid collateral embarrassment. Either way, given the fortunate situation where the father of the assassin secured his son and turned him into police, President Trump is supporting the successful outcome.
There is a sense of familiarity, a feeling similar to NSA Director Mike Waltz, about it:
.
Understand and accept this with great seriousness, there are no honorable “rank and file” inside this organization. Every member of the FBI is a participant in the weaponization of power and government. The members are jackboots recruited from ideological college campuses for exactly the purpose of supporting a Stasi-like police state.
Through the past several years, we have discovered how the FBI worked inside Twitter, Facebook and social media to control information, remove content and manipulate opinion on behalf of the U.S. government – all activity political. We have also learned the FBI took active measures to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop and control any negative consequences for the Biden regime – again, political.
These are not disputed realities.
The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are now political institutions that have abandoned their originating mission in order to become the domestic equivalent of the Soviet-era FSB. Their joint targeting mechanisms have been redesigned to support the interests of corrupt DC politicians, specifically the interests of DC.
Tangentially related: (1) What’s the status of the DC pipe bomber case? And (2) are the 40 FBI agents who worked on the Mueller investigation, still employed?
This is the most disheartening part of Sundance’s obversions:
Every member of the FBI is a participant in the weaponization of power and government. The members are jackboots recruited from ideological college campuses for exactly the purpose of supporting a Stasi-like police state.
And he is no doubt right as usual:
….And even more disheartening is all the people who say “fire everybody at the FBI and build it from the ground up again”.
This makes the assumption that, at some point, the FBI actually worked on behalf the American people.
They never did, and neither did the CIA. And the belief that both of these organization used to be good, is based on the fantasy that America is”the good guys”.
Our government was never the good guys. The Founding Fathers never expected our government to be the good guys. That’s why they didn’t want us getting involved in any foreign entanglements.
They created a system of checks and balances based on the assumption that the people running our government would be every bit as corrupt as the people running any other government.
That’s why they wanted to keep the Federal government as small as possible. We don’t need no stinking G-ddamn FBI or CIA, and never did.
And F××k Jack Webb too!
Our Founding Fathers couldn’t foresee that the American people will surrender their liberty for false security and making themselves serfs of the State instead of its master
Actually they warned directly about that. We have forgotten the foundational principles to prevent that.
I like your comment but not the slur on God.
there is no god
You have come to the wrong site for speech such as yours. You will find you are not welcome here. And btw just because you do not recognize God does not automatically mean there is no God – you just have not met Him yet – but you will.
Without any doubt – and by then, absence repentance, it will be too late.
Not welcome by whom.. you? I understand all are free to state their ‘position’.
Hahahahah. Even the demons and satan know GOD exists.
‘Omnipotent’ failure. Charlie would be alive.
Sturmudgeon, Charlie is alive. He is not Dead. Absent in the body, present with our Lord. He is happily walking with the arms of Jesus surrounding him.
Yes and Amen
He has his Reality, you have your ‘faith’.
FLUSH THE TOILET!
You have been flagged for using the g-d word. Use any other cuss word you wish, I don’t care. Use the eff word, which I see you did, but I don’t care. But I will flag you or anyone else using God’s name in vain.
Well we could use an honorable competent FBI to go after ANTIFA, Soros, the 3 letter agencies etc. Of course we need a new DOJ as well yes?
Anybody ( Singular) is over their head to fix this. The top 10 in every FBI branch and field must be loyal. We have heard rumors of whisle blowers, yet the time is growing long. Its been a few weeks since the B guy. ( Sorry) said he was shocked at how deep the rot is.
A small silver linning, at least they want Patel out. Yet a real address of the deep corruption best come quite soon.
Say we disband the CIA and FBI for corruption. Who preserves us from enemies both foreign and domestic?
I don’t know what Dragnet/LAPD has to do with this. I think you meant Efram Zimbalist Jr.
We all must not forget that the man who tried to shoot Trump at the golf course was camped out there (set up camp ) for at least 12 hours.
The secret service nor the fbi caught the Assassin . It was a citizen who took a picture as he escaped in a car parked close by with plates registered to another car. That car was parked close by , new to the neighborhood ,with compromised registration plates and nobody checked it out for at least 12 hours .
I don’t believe that for a minute .
In New Jersey computerized dash cams identify a driver with an expired drivers license as you ride by the day it expires.
That man escaped if not for a sherifs Deputy miles away.
If not for the citizens actions the Assassin would have been able to change plates and driven off into the sunset.
Free to assassinated another day.
Patel has been neutered .
The corrupt FBI will remain corrupted.
The second Trump shooter is a key player because he was a Ukranian agent. We never heard what were the contacts in his many telephones. The Butler shooter likely was not a lone wolf either.
The Cox press conference was a low point for the FBI. Shame.
Supposedly Tyler has an Uncle Mikey who’s has an interesting military background and is a big fan of Ukraine.
The clowns it that picture couldn’t break up a bar fight even or the fight was over.
Be interesting to question the couple of them who remained standing.
Pictures are worth a thousand words…the grinning ‘chirpet’ should be immediately fired for stupidity…her grin is not appropriate in the public setting! FGF
I would like to see Porky standing behind them run a mile.
Seems to me an appropriate response response from Patel was to not rise to the bait and, instead, treat the false step as a normal part of investigating. “Not a big deal, let’s get on with the work” would have easily defused the impending embarrassment.
I don’t see this as a big deal at all, in fact. If the boss doesn’t treat it as a big deal, continues to be visible, etc. then it won’t be seen as a big deal. He has enough street cred to easily get past this.
Just about to post the very same, sinking feeling.
Flabby and weak, in body, mind, and spirit.
Imagine the full throated laughter from Putin and Xi, over this image of cowardice.
Sometimes Very good persons are miscast for a particular job. He could hardly have fired he entire FBI on the first day, though it might not have been a bade idea. Now he has to make the best of it with what he is.
In the Kirk murder, Gov. Cox’s giving up being a media star would be helpful. He is disclosing case information to CNN and MSNBC where he should defer to law enforcement.
Gov. Cox is a establishment RINO and has taken over weak Patel of the case in the MEDIA, who loves to partnership with an anti MAGA RINO…Patel is a weakling and should resign
He is promoting himself for further political office higher than just Gov of Utah, he thinks far too much of himself to rise any further up the ladder for national government.
Kash did not do it, and there are plenty of shoulda couldas to go around, but he should have put his operatives at critical junctures within the FIB framework and let them sort information for him. Then use the 24hour rule before posting anything. Kash did not learn a thing when Bondi learned her lesson about Epstein files on her desk.
Kash hasn’t done a single useful thing since he got the job. It’s not just this time. As Sundance asks, what about the pipe bomber case, or the agents that worked with Weissman/Mueller, or the J6 frauds, or J13, or Patriot Front, or Antifa, or etc., etc. It’s a long list that he hasn’t even begun to address. Most of the people who work in that agency should be gone by now, but instead he talks about the wonderful rank and file, like he’s doing some kind of idiotic Hannity impression. He is not up to the job that needs to be done, he’s been a complete failure, and he needs to be replaced.
Kash Patel is the new Pam Bondi.
or,
is it also about placing past due public sunlight upon
the internal fib (or other interagency) integrity (or the lack thereof)?
[ in the midst of swiftly catching other not good people – that the media was covering and miss informing,
and using the transparency of some clues to the public – to get A LOT more clues.
(and to see the (miss) or good behaviors of personnel inter-workings )]
Under duress, there was some good conduct, and not good conduct. Doubtful that some missed it.
p.s.
anyone remember ‘the Sting’ movie?
hmmm…
Catching the cagey, coy nefarious, is not easy – and some of them have a whole lot of tools (propaganda with help of media, evidence tampering or planting, false accusations and various other tools and hiding places in the wide open etc. etc.)
Yes, Patel gave kudos to a job well done to the public.
Is that the whole story?
There are A LOT of clues to chase down… and back check with other angles…
and uhhh… job reviews too…
And yes, we the people can be part of the check and balance system…(without hindering ongoing case(s))..but hopefully providing constructive help.
This proves all agencies and the entire bureaucracy needs to be terminated.
Every single ex employee would file a wrongful termination lawsuit and a judge would stay the layoffs. Our government was built crooked and only demolition can fix it.
And replaced with what?
Nothing! Let each state handle law enforcement and investigations.
Their performance reviews should all be flagged and scrutinized heavily before any advancement/raise in pay scale given.
The time spent setting up Kash and leaking to Congress to make him look bad. Is more than wasted effort, it is effort put forth to undermine the country. Those people are not better than Kash, they are evil. Close it and start over. The FBI is our Stasi.
WE DO NOT NEED A STASI.
Time to hear, “You’re fired!”
This is only going to get worse. PDJT needs to cut his losses here and move on. President Trump has scored big with many of his other appointments he can afford to not have been perfect.
Curious if the problem is that Patel is just not bright, just aggressive and good at putting himself forward.
I threw his book in the garbage months ago.
Maybe that is why Andrew Bailey was brought on board as co deputy director.
He just looks like a dummy to me – sorry. And there is nothing to change my mind.
Replacement is standing by….
The FBI will welcome a second deputy director for the first time in its history in the coming days after Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey resigned his position on Monday to join the bureau.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-fbi-deputy-director-andrew-bailey-begins-work-alongside-bongino
I hope Andrew Bailey staffs FBI whistleblowers.
Good to go 🙂
Bailey should be Director. He wouldn’t put up with this crap.
Appointed on Aug 21. The wheels of bureaucracy grind slowly.
Knowing things and leading an organization are two completely different things.
This. Running the FBI is tantamount to a CEO running a large size corporation. A far flung organization. Hundreds of facilities and offices, thousands of employees.
Turning one around, as is needed here, requires a special CEO personality. Lee Iacocca or Steve Jobs level chomps. Or at least someone experienced in running a larger organization.
It’s a massive turnaround project.
Patel was a staff lawyer investigator who wrote a book and got some TV time with Steve Bannon.
Hopefully Andrew Bailey has what it takes.
If it’s one thing the adult business world has taught me, a knowing things “technical leader” is less important than being a “people manager”. Upper management only cares about people management (training, compliance, goal setting, status review), ie supervision, and even more so the older the institution. People managers can be slotted around in a re-org, musical chairs style, and are just relays up to the C-suite. Technical managers are too specialized in the C-level eyes.
A manager manages workers, a director manages managers, and senior leadership manages directors. Managers are tactical, senior leadership are strategic, and everyone else in between relay orders.
In government, we don’t even worry about strategy, so the upper layers are just bureaucrats making reports about how good their offices are. If you don’t engage in the tactics, you have no clue how shielded you are from actual work. Because everyone in the middle is HIGHLY incentivized to sugar coat everything to make their divisions look the best.
For those of you who remember him, the great Michael Savage has a very interesting YouTube video up that I saw on another substack blog. The subject is the FBI and the press conference as well as his thoughts on the Charlie Kirk assassin.
https://www.youtube.com/live/tgtpR_J3ZHc?feature=shared
He’s dialed in.
Wow.
Saw that video last night, our views are in very close alignment as far as the weapon found, and if this is actually the person involved/others that knew about this assassination and his unimpressive opinion of the FBI. Something about everything coming out of the FBI, also observed by Steve Bannon, doesn’t pass the smell test from the very beginning.
I saw it. He gets it completely.
Thank you for this – it certainly makes you think ….
kinda like the J6 pipe bomb
First, the FBI didn’t do anything that the state of Utah law enforcement officers could not do. Hell, the images of him could be gotten by any kid with an iPhone and enhanced. The only reason they got the killer as quickly as they did was due to the honor and sense of responsibility that those who knew from the photo who did it: the father and a family friend. Otherwise, the Keystone FBI would still be fumbling around, gathering headlines and holding everyone in suspense until they “get their man.”
Patel’s disgusting press conference – I have lost all respect for him – praising the FBI agents like a child telling his hateful mother over and over that he loves her, hoping she will reciprocate – was an embarrassment. The “rank and file” are fully aware that they have him by the “rank and file” are fully aware that they have him by the huevos. Patel is now a pathetic little figurehead man who wants to be loved. Talk about neutered.
I think Bongino is aware but overwhelmed by what he has seen and knows. He would be better off outside of the beltway.
Will POTUS ask him to step down? If so, who is in the wings? Will Faux Neuz guest host Pam Bondi finally be cut free? I’d like to see some indictments, arrests, and trials. It is my hope that POTUS holds firm for results. Otherwise, they will simply run the clock out on his term.
They are running the clock out…
As we type
It doesn’t look good so far. It seems Trump never asks anyone to step down (altho he did tell the midget Zelensky that he didn’t have the cards.
Maybe if they dig deep enough they might find that the ppl the fbi initially announced as suspects do have culpability.
From the first I have thought that those two were deliberate diversions. There was a Longmire episode where a homicidal ‘sovereign citizen’ arranged to break out of custody and the clothes he chose to change to after he overpowered the guards was a tuxedo with a gas-mask. He had recruited dozens of people through Craigs List to show up in front of the courthouse at the time he had planned his escape, all wearing a tuxedo with a gas mask. He got away in the confusion. Those two caused enough confusion to but the perp time to escape. Whether they were truly involved or not, they should be charged with obstruction of justice.
Either Patel has finally figured out that he has been played and is an embarrassment or he is truly clueless.
He has the options of finally clearing out the rot, doing nothing and hope that he keeps his job, or getting a nice “promotion” as an ambassador like Mike Waltz did.
If this did not splash cold water on his face and wake him up to his FBI brethren then I don’t know what will.
“Either Patel has finally figured out that he has been played and is an embarrassment or he is truly clueless.”
How about both. He is in way over his head, and is being played as an embarrassment.
Bring in Andrew Bailey to begin the full organizational overhaul that should have been started seven months ago.
People are making a mountain out of a molehill here. Patel said that a suspect was in custody. And a suspect was in fact in custody. He did not say that that the killer was in custody.
In any high profile murder investigation the police typically take people in for questioning. Nothing out of the ordinary happened here. And while the FBI has a well-deserved reputation for incompetence or worse, so far none of that has been on display with respect to the investigation into Kirk’s killing.
I have no idea what this is even supposed to mean. A suspect was in fact in custody. No statement was “retracted”. That suspect was subsequently cleared of the murder. All perfectly normal police procedure.
No…it was a highly irresponsible action for a Director of the FBI. This isn’t a football game it’s an assassination investigation. We don’t need a play-by-play announcer. The FBI has a PR department. All releases should go through them and the FBI Director should keep his mouth, and “X” account quite. Same with Bondi. These people are so in love with themselves they jump on every opportunity to make it about themselves. Besides…the FBI clearly wasn’t running this investigation. The smooth talking, trans-loving, Utah governor was.
It appears that Patel did say they had the”subject” /killer of Kirk in custody first, then changed it in the second tweet.
See the image in the article. Bottom one in the image of the tweets is the earliest.
The embarrassment comes from commenting on it at all and commenting while he’s out to dinner instead of on a plane to Utah. He could have looked in charge and in control. Would he go out to dinner if, God forbid, someone high up in the Trump Administration had been assassinated? This was his big opportunity to look like the Head Honcho Manager.
He did not have to make a statement that a suspect was in custody until they were 100% sure that they got the murderer.
They had already hauled away the old man making people think that he was the perp and then, oops, it wasn’t him.
I agree, a suspect was in custody at one point. I suspect Patel was sabotaged when he wasn’t immediately told the person in custody was not the shooter and had been released.
Is that the “suspect” they had in irons, frog marching him past the media?
Please go back to the top and re-read Kash’s tweet. He said more than a “suspect is in custody”.
At that time, he didn’t have to make any statement at all. But he’s so eager to jump on Twitter and try to make a hero of himself that he doesn’t even think. The guy is a disaster, there’s no two ways way around it.
It means that Patel has never been a guy to work too hard at the job. He is always off to some swanky venue or another. He has no self-awareness.
He is out of his depth.
He doesn’t know what to do, or how to do it.
He thinks he’s addressing the “Honorable”.
In reality, he’s standing in front of an army of orcs, with his fly down.
“The members are jackboots recruited from ideological college campuses for exactly the purpose of supporting a Stasi-like police state.”
Just how bad is it?
Is the FBI even more like the Stasi than even the FSB?
“Should I be looking for this assassin, or should I set up a political trap for my boss.”
Someone actually asked themselves that question.
This thread is evidence of how that person answered that question.
I’m sure that person had a good laugh when Patel was praising the FBI’s hard work.
He should have said “a suspect” instead of “the suspect” if he said anything at all. Less definitive. Saying anything at all so soon was a mistake he won’t wear well.
I still wish him the best at the hostile hearing coming his way. I hope he stays calm and measured.
Success is no mistake. The best way to correct a bad decision is to make a good 1. Blonde Bondi @ Fox is the next kersene can. It’s still early; there are options. Forget about Russia and Isreal and find the right people for the right position immediatly here at home please President Trump.
I feel for Kash. His heart is in the right place. I want him to do well and believe that eventually he can make a difference at his particular three letter agency.
But, as you suggested quite rightly, he got himself into this mess, and he must roll with the punches and get himself out.
As long as Trump stands by him, he will be all right.
Mr. President: Stand by your Man.
Your optimism is admirable however Director of the FBI is not a trainee position. Trump MUST act quickly and decisively to apportion a person capable reorganizing the FBI and make it a Constitutional abiding law enforcement agency . Patel is decent and provably incapable, and imho opinion, disinterested in doing anything but enjoying the perk and the power of his job title. Trump could barely have chosen a person less well suited to the job that must be done at the FBI. Make it Right , now , President Trump .
Making it a Constitutional, law abiding agency is not possible. It simply isn’t. Either it ceases to exist, or it continues and we, our children, and our children’s children live with the gross cowardice that says, “They just need to change and fix it.” Every person ever murdered by their abuser if resurrected would tell you the truth: they cannot be changed.
Well, if he’s smart, he can turn this into a sting operation against “every adverse operative within the FBI.”
Wow, you lost me “at Rao’s”. The question is who’s table was he sitting at.
Rao’s has about 16 tables. It is a unique restaurant in that, each table is owned by a patron (Bo Dietke being one or he use to be). The only way to get a reservation is to know someone who ownes a table and loans it to you for that meal. As a table owner, you pay for every meal regardless if you eat there are not, unless you loan it out.
Many times table owners will put a night at Rao’s up for auction for the cause of their choice. They can bring 10’s of thousands of dollars for one night.
The President certainly has spent a few evenings at Rao’s but I can assure you, he was always working.
Looks like someone was paying a little bit to much attention to their social standing instead of their job.
Tweeting from Rao’s? That is something Hillary would do and has.
I know someone who was invited to Rao’s by a table-owner. They wanted information from the person I know, who isn’t mob (but the person who invited him and was asking the questions most certainly is). It’s not exactly a restaurant in the style of being a mob hang-out.
It is interesting, like Gino’s on Lexington Ave use to be. Gino’s was a little bit more accessible but you had to know someone and no reservations allowed. Everyone had a table in the sense that you sat at the same table forever more, once you knew someone.
One night a friend and I arrived early to have a drink before dinner. The bar there was really small, maybe 6 to 8 people crammed together but quant. I paid no attention to the woman already sitting to my left. My buddy and I were ordering drinks and discussing work. I see this look cross his face. I was like what? He tells me drink and see how fast you can turn around and order another. As I do I realize I am sitting next to Monica Lewinsky.
She was furious because the guy on the other side of her was laughing his ass off and could not stop. She must have come in to meet someone and they had not arrived yet. Laughing guy was not with her. She turns to him and says, “Is it that funny? Is it really that F’ing funny?” while he is shaking his head up and down yes. She stomped out without paying for her drink, laughing guy was like, please put that on my tab.
I felt sorry for her, right up until she weighted in on why everyone should vote for Kamala.. lmfao
Sorry, I know off topic but not serious.
Apropos of nothing, I lived in Manhattan from ’76-’84, but a few years before that, when I was 17, a buddy and I took our gf’s to the city (from our homes on LI) for some sightseeing. Despite all being underaged, we figured we’d get a drink (and, it being then, nobody asked us for any ID). We had no idea about anything, so at the first place we sidled up to the bar and the bartender dead-panned us and said “This is not the place for you”. Looking around, we noticed that the Purple Something-or-Other was a rather flamboyant gay bar. Next place, Jilly’s, they served us, and the gigantic bartender regaled us with stories of how Sinatra spent all his time there, had just been there yesterday, etc. My memory on it fails me, but I’m hoping we took the train home (as opposed to driving).
Silo’s and restaurant tables….?
He was being smoozed just like heart-shaped box said. Let’s put it this way James Comey was a guest at Rao’s often, it should come as no surprise it was one of his favorite places. That is all you need to know.
There is definitely no, notta, nothing socially redeeming about the FBI.
They all should be let go and their “Tic Toc” Shawn Hannity mouthpiece as well.
Jail or hanging is appropriate for their crimes. Definitely revoked pensions for all.
The penalty should be severe as an optic for others.
The true test of a man is not whether he falls or not, but whether, if he does fall, he can pick himself up or not.
We shall see, we shall se.,
I remember getting so excited about having Schwarzenegger elected governor. Once in It took about a year to see he was a complete washout, selling out those who stood up for him and who had prayed so hard to win.
Pastel is turning out to a rinse and repeat of the Terminator.
Kash does what his……
mossad honeypot tells him to do.
Same for JD? Is JD’s wife whispering in his ear?
Wander ..if same ppl who get Ka$h by balls . make VSGPDJT(6’3″) unable CUT OFF support for UKR..????
Now they are trying to bait our side into taking one of them out. Hopefully nobody falls for it but it will not be easy. This creep vandalized the Charlie Kirk memorial site in front of Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix. If you click on the “X” post and watch the video you will see he is wearing the exact same T-Shirt as the assassin when authorities arrest him.
Sorry, the shirt the vandal had on was in another image not in the video above. This trans cult is everywhere and this must be their uniform.
GOOD CATCH…..
It never should have gotten to the point where he was arrested. He should have been expired on the spot.
I can’t see Kash getting fired or quitting. Best case scenario (and most likely?) is that, two years from now CTH’ers are noting how much he’s grown in office. Ditto Bondi.
If Patel or Bondi are still there in 2 years, you can put a fork in the long term prospects of MAGA’s leadership after PDJT retires and the next Democrat assumes office.
FBI and DOJ are still fully politicized and weaponized agencies loyal to the DC Beast. Both are still staffed to the gills with Obama and Bush era personnel.
Right now they are just waiting out PDJT and these three clowns. It was Patel and Bondi’s job to overhaul their agencies, not ride them like parade floats.
..six/seven months is loooong enough “clear” up offices…..sick and tired of this freak show….
So far, Trump has put competent people under the three stooges to rectify the problems. Ed Martin at DOJ, Houman at ICE, Missouri AG at FBI.
Keep the figureheads if you must and get the job done by the professionals.
Patel a prisoner of his own (???) Organization, they “eunuch” him in front of everyone…Another Trump’s blunder appointment…Pathetic
That appointment is down to the village idiot, Don Jr, and Suzie Wiles.
I’ve been calling him “Krash” Patel for a reason.
Kash looks like he’s trying to remember those two things – hopefully they will come to him at some point.
Heads need to roll, and they have to stop with social media until all information has been confirmed.
Perhaps, he will see this belief he can restore the institution is BS. He will see that these people would peruse and cheer his demise while sleeping him on the back and saying you’re the greatest boss.
They have been trained to deploy any method necessary to attack ALL threats to “THEIR” FBI.
I don’t think the situ is as dire as you report. Bad, really bad, yes. But not insurmountable.
The handling of the Kirk shooting in Utah was not so much a psy-op on Kash, as a f- up by local FBI and LE on the ground. And that is far from the first time we’ve seen that same scenario: Local LE and field officers in over their heads.
The director and deputy had to go there themselves to get people into order.
Kash was definitely at fault for tweeting about real time events before getting such facts triple and quadruple confirmed. That’s was a total rookie move, so he bears fault in the f-up parade too.
Our LE across the country has been so demoralized for so many years, and handicapped by so many progressive handcuffs, they all need to go back to basics: LE 101: arrest the bad guys and throw ‘em in jail.
The governor is just a classic RINO right out of central casting, doing what they all do which is trying to capitalize on a 15 minutes of “fame” for political points. That’s not new either. In fact it’s been around longer than dirt.
They should not have released the subject anyway since he is an ANTIFA Chaos Agent.
Pick him up and sweat him.
And fire Chris Wray’s sloppy seconds for cryin’ out loud!
Ultimately, these are powers, principalities and wickedness in high places. But the Deep State has been brainwashing, winding up and sending out these Trans Gun Molls.
Discord and other platforms were also used by Crooks. I think we’ll find they’re #PatsyCentral.

This must be why he and Bongino flew out the next day. Maybe they figured out they were being played. One can only hope that’s the case. Wise up gentlemen.
They KNEW they were being played because the FBI field staff did not forward the perp photos to HQ for 12 hours.
Our president must demur from selecting appointees based upon their screen pressence and attraction to ‘bright lights’. Some have worked out…but the majority are abject failures. Strength of character and adherence to MAGA values, courage…thick skin to ward off the Deep State and Leftist blows…those should be at the forefront. If the nomination is placed forward to please the apparatus for confirmation, just go ahead and let them make the nominations and PDJT confirm!
J Edgar Hoover – The FBI has been corrupted for a long, long time. Everyone seems to forget just how ruthless Hoover was.
As SD often points outs, the FBI is beyond redemption and needs to be discarded into the trash heap of history.
What replaces it and what it would look like, I have no idea.
Bottom line, it needs to be dismantled.
Re Kash – I believe he has been instructed by Trump (along with his other appointees) to be “transparent” as possible, especially through social media. I also don’t believe he has the experience/maturity to deal with the task of gut the FBI.
Andrew Bailey – Like others posts I’ve seen in here, I am convinced, more than ever, that Trump has put his man in the on deck circle.
Time will tell.
We need two more Tom Hommans.
Times 1000
And 1000 Ed Martins.
Patel was stupid to not ask more questions before sending out a “tweet”. Guess he was in a hurry to get down to supper. Dumb.
Whats worse is how the agents group didn’t share the surveillance photos or the perp they had possession of for almost 12 hours (per reports). Why? The next day he reportedly held a meeting with 200 personnel calling them out for it. Really? Screw that. FIRE whoever made the decision to not share that info, and inform the rest they will get shitcanned if they don’t stop the games behind the curtain. THAT is how you gain respect and discipline. Oh and by the way, kick out the scum and deviants regularly. By now the worst of the lot should be well known.
Changing nothing means nothing changes.
In order for this scheme to work, the FBI bots would have to understand how Patel is wired and they do. He is image and theater, not a get it done kinda guy. Also, if Patel wasn’t trying so hard to play to Trump, he wouldn’t have dropped his tit in the wringer like he did, so this was on him. He and Blonde remind me of sitting through employee meetings hosted by the c-suite. Lots of bloviating and back-slapping for jobs poorly done. They both suck.
Also, to be fair to Trump, real reformers for the FBI or DOJ jobs would never have gotten past the GOP senate. Think about that a year from now when many of these Mo-Fo’s are begging for your vote. They are working hard to run the clock out on Trump and preserve most of the status-quo. So far, they have been very successful. Very little of Trump’s hard work will survive a week into the next administration.
So true. Make CONgress call a recess so their President can FINALLY appoint his own, REAL cabinet without deep state’s “approval.”
I mean, c’mon! As if we can’t see where the problem really lies here?
Talk about beating around the bush!
HOUND these swamp rats incessantly from now until the midterms. Be RELENTLESS.
Either ONE of them speaks out NOW to call a recess or else every single one of these posers MUST be primaried.
CONSEQUENCES.
WE -the VOTERS- are the ones who need to hold these people to task. Stop blaming President Trump whose hand are tied until we -the voters- rid CONgress of all these bloviating losers bent on “waiting out” 47 and MAGA!
Are we really going to let that happen?
The FBI needs a field day and paring down if not entirely eliminated. With 38,000 employees and an annual budget approaching $10 Billion there is plenty of work to be done. Those are 2021 numbers according to Wiki.
Something is bad wrong at the FBI. I don’t know what the problem might be, but we need a reset.
I personally have faith in Pactel. He is smart enough to see the old adage that once fooled, twice warned. I don’t think he will allow this to happen again.
May the FBI end by 2026 yrs end or sooner
It’s not relevant for anything but corruption
Kash appears to be the kind of guy who’s fun at a party, has the gift of gab, is madly in love with himself, and has the wisdom of a baby lamb.
Add to those character traits the fact that he loves the “high life” and the trappings of a top position in The Swamp.
He has no business being FBI Director. He’s better suited to be a game show host.
As far as being “fun at a party,” can you imagine all of the funny party shenanigans he could pull off with those crazy eyes?
Kash acting as Director of the FBI is like casting Gilligan as Hamlet.
Doesn’t matter who they are, if they set him up then run them off.
Who cares if they claim they were only questioning a suspect. cut em’ loose.
You don’t clean house by playing patty-cake and getting thrown under the bus.
No wonder Dan Bongino is unhappy. I would be too if I had to play second fiddle to Patel and Bondi. What have they actually done to move America First along.
The easier road was taken by PDJT with the FIB this time around. Especially after the FIB cronies and CLIE A gave a gallant effort to take him out several/many times over the years.
A few Treepers before the election, after the election and as soon as 20 Jan rolled by said loud and clear!!! Tear it down, salt the earth and use the Marshals and/or military if needed to fill in the blanks after the FIB tear down.
Every day, week, month that rolls on just makes the chances less than likely it will happen. There is still time and it needs to happen. One can Hope and Pray PDJT has it on his list to do! God willing. Amen 🙏🏽
There may be a way to hollow out the FIB much sooner than we think.
Put together a “Clean this City Up” task force comprised only of FIB agents. Pull from every office across the fruited plains (lil Rush there) and fill up the ranks. See how long and how many blue state big cities it takes to see the mass exodus of bodies. Do not back fill any positions lost as part of the exodus. Worth a shot if asked.
By the time these people get around to doing their job it will be too late. Even Trump seems reluctant to take a stand.
Frankly, the FBI didn’t solve this murder or do any great job. The perp’s father turned him in. Patel’s constant praising of the FBI is pathetic. It’s like groveling. A slow motion train wreck.
The only plus to this is that they now have a long list of all associates that can be rounded up and severely interviewed as to their associations w/assassin(s) since so many were on the same gaming site as Butler assassin and this loser, find out the money flow between all and their further associations. Eventually, there will be a breakdown and indictments will be issued.
Those who thumbed their noses at FBI Director Patel will be doing the rounding up?
