I thought Matt Gaetz was the worst nominee Trump could pick for FBI Director. Admitting my mistake, I have to concede there was some else at least tied with Gaetz.

"A MAGA loyalist and member of the first Trump administration, [Kash] Patel was a controversial pick to lead the FBI from the start, with many Trump critics questioning whether he was qualified for the job. But now some of those concerns have begun seeping into conservative circles that Patel is a fixture of.  
-
That pressure [over finding CK's killer] appeared to be on display a day later, when Patel lashed out at agents during an intense and expletive-ridden virtual video meeting Thursday afternoon with FBI teams across the country, according to sources familiar with the matter. The episode was first reported by the New York Times.
-
Patel accused agents of not giving him information fast enough, including not waking him in the middle of the night when images were first discovered of the suspect, the sources said. He focused his anger at the Salt Lake City special agent in charge, who had only recently taken over the job after his predecessor was forced out [by Patel].
-
Several current and former law enforcement officials told CNN that Patel and others in the administration may have also hampered the effort to find Kirk’s murderer by firing dozens of senior-level officials who had decades of combined knowledge into the FBI’s sophisticated tactics in finding and arresting criminals."
-
Another misstep, according to people close to the investigation, was that the FBI held onto the rifle Robinson allegedly used until late Thursday before turning it over to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to begin analysis. Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche had to intervene, insisting that the weapon be sent immediately, the sources said.  
-
None of the bullet casings recovered alongside the gun appear to have been engraved with statements or symbols related to transgender people, despite earlier reports that they expressed transgender “ideology.”

He and the FBI did say things prematurely.   But here is my question..... Didn't people want more transparency with the FBI?   So what did he do.....give info (transparency) when things immediately happened.   Correct?   Isn't that something he said he would do.   So he did it or wanted to do it.  Hence why he was chewing people out for not giving him info.   Also about getting the wrong people and also announcing them.....during investigations they do get multiple suspects over time and release them.

 
I still don't know if he is the right guy for the job.  

 
Also the last thing you posted has been confirmed as FALSE about the "ideology" and casings/bullets found.

because he rushed to give info that was incorrect. That's not what an FBI Director is supposed to do. But I'm even more concerned with the way certain veteran agents were fired, based on incorrect allegations from outside influences. One was accused of having worked on Jan. 6 cases when, in fact, he did not.

But isn't that transparency..... giving info once he got it?   Keeping people up to speed immediately.   I agree we want accurate information.   But they had people in custody..... people would like to know that.   It is all under "transparency".... correct.

 
Again...... I dont know if he is right for the job at all.   But I wouldn't say he "fucked" this up at all.

 
The Jan 6 firing..... what else do we know about that Sr. agent?   I dont know too much about it.   So what else is with that agent or agents?   What "outside" influence?   What might be other issues that the media and others not talking about?  Just saying do they have other "hiccups" on the record?  Are you saying it was "retaliation"??  

 
I know media will bend it the way they want.   But lots of things could be hidden or stay hidden that we dont know about.   Could these Agents be listed in the "Epstein" files.... Honest question.   Did they have possible links to the case back in 2006 and fucked it up back then to save FBI asses?   Not saying hiding something one way or another for Trump/Clinton....but actual FBI agents.  Remember a rumor was Epstein was an FBI informant... so were agents flying to and from the island.   Lots of things we don't know and possibly never know.   Not here to talk Epstein but just saying how Veteran are these agents....do they go this far back?

 
Or was it just a firing because of budget cuts and people want to point fingers and say "unjust" firing.  You know the standard practice of get rid of the old and bring in new and cheaper.  

So how did he get the gig? Matt Gaetz was out of central casting but he was just a fuck up pedophile and really would have open the doors to the Epstein saga
Put Kash does have the psycho look so maybe that'll be the new criteria

I said the statements didn't have anything do with TRANSGENDER ideology. There was a statement about being GAY, but that's different from TRANSGENDER. Look it up in your favorite search engine or AI agent.

My mistake. LOL

If Patel felt he had to say something he should have added a qualifier, like "we are still working to see if this person of interest was the shooter or not."
Why is that too much to expect?
I doubt Christopher Wray (one of Trump's best appointees) would have done this. But Patel has zero LE police experience and is nothing more than a political puppet.

My mistake....i honestly read it too fast and also thought you had the fascist stuff in there as well.

he's sure got the "Deer-in-the-headlights look" down pat.
