Kash Patel, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, is once again facing criticism for rushing to social media to tout his agency’s work on tracking down a person of interest in a shooting prematurely.
After a shooter killed two and injured nine at Brown University on Saturday, Patel, a lawyer and rightwing commentator before his job in the administration, posted on X that his agency had helped detain a “person of interest in a hotel room” in Coventry, Rhode Island, acting off a lead from the Providence police.
But the person of interest was later released from custody hours later, and the shooter is still at large.
The only plus I can think of to having the Hegseths, and the Patels, and the Noems of the world in this administration is that… at least in theory… once Donald is dead this nonsense has to follow them for another 30-40 years. They’re all still fairly young people, and to think that maybe they’ll be Palin-esque pariahs is a nice thought, I guess.
they’ll get fox, oan, etc. and speaking engagement contracts.
It could happen. That’s how Richard Nixon supported himself in the latter years of his life.
that’s how the troll, newt gingrich, is doing it since he left congress back in the early 2000’s.
