Kash Patel ripped into FBI agents in profanity-laced online meeting

The Wednesday blunder has cost Patel. Several MAGA allies criticized the director over his leadership, casting doubt on whether he was the right person to head the FBI.

“He performed terribly in the last few days, and it’s not clear whether he has the operational expertise to investigate, infiltrate, and disrupt the violent movements—of whatever ideology—that threaten the peace in the United States,” conservative activist Chris Rufo wrote on X.

Patel joined the FBI after a career as a federal prosecutor and Defense Department chief of staff. His lack of law enforcement experience led to some former GOP officials’ reservations against him stepping into the position.

Steve Bannon, a former Trump administration adviser, said he didn’t see the shooter’s apprehension as “great law enforcement work” speaking on his “Bannon’s War Room” show directly after the conference.

“I don’t know why Kash flew out there, you know, thousands of miles, to give us, ‘Hey, working partnerships and our great partnership in Utah’ — OK, got that,” Bannon said.

It would be so degrading getting upbraided by this sawed-off little poser.

I don't care what anyone says, I think Kash is cute. Yes, his eyes are kinda psycho, but he has that intense, masculine energy that I find attractive.

All sorts of very high up MAGA politicians and MAGA influencers are openly calling for Patel to be fire because he has handled the Kirk shooting so badly - his personal behavior - not the FBI employees.

Here's an interview (Tim Miller Bulwark) with ex-FBI agent Michael Feinberg who explains how badly damaged the FBI has been in the past 8 months, how the FBI purges are affecting the success of FBI investigations and details the MAGA calls for Patel's firing.

Well duh.

I'd have a hard not time not laughing at this shrimp yelling profanity at me and my co-workers in that "angry midget" voice of his.

Can you imagine being reprimanded by an unqualified DEI hire?

NYT, 13 Sep: "It is not clear whether anything the FBI did in the days after the shooting played a decisive role in shortening the search."

A tactful way of saying: Patel and the FBI didn't do shit to get the guy, except step all over their schlongs.

Of course he takes zero responsibility for the sorry state of the agency he runs. It's very Trumpian to run something into the ground and then blame others.

He got a table at Rao’s though, so this is working out well for him.

Everything Trump touches...you know the rest. As I've said before, it's by now an established scientific principle. Trump's Law - deserving of an Anti-Nobel Prize.

R3 is Patel's live-in male roommate from Las Vegas.

I don't remember your name.

Could you refresh my memory?

“Roommate”?

Kash’s roommate

I think it's hilarious that Kash's FBI fumbled so badly the search for this killer.

If it wasn't for the killer's own family turning him in, the FBI would still be arresting random people on the street.

R3 Get help immediately.

He said he'd see Kirk in Valhalla. And that he'd take this watch. Do you think the Groypers like this tiny subcontinent dbag co-opting their white Nordic and military worship? I do not.

I couldn't agree more with R16.

I love how dumb and tiny this idiot is. How fitting.

Shrimp dick.

Patel announced incorrect information a number of times. The killer's father turned him into police. Patel was beyond embarrassing at those press conferences. It was terrible. I don't know how anyone is supposed to take the FBI seriously when they clearly serve only to protect the Trump administration and are run by 4Chan and QAon freaks. It's a fucking disaster.

The FBI director can be fired by the president at any time.

If Republicans lose the next election, don’t be shocked if they rush through a change to the law that alters that power.

Kash and about fifty other assholes will be fired the first hour of a Democratic presidency.

I'm sure all those agents will take kindly to being chewed out by an unqualified nightclubbing coke gnome. They're also big fans of Indians.

[quote] I don't care what anyone says, I think Kash is cute. Yes, his eyes are kinda psycho, but he has that intense, masculine energy that I find attractive.

LMAO! "Intense, masculine energy" It's a sophomoric performance.

Trump would never fire Kash. Kash is everything Trump ever wanted in an FBI Director. He won’t end up with another Comey or Christopher Wray. You need to stop looking at things through your eyes and start seeing them the way Trump does. He doesn’t give a shit if the FBI is incompetent. Hell, he probably prefers it that way.

R25 But to further the premise of seeing things the way Trump does, if Kash's incompetence continues to get the media's attention and starts to make Trump himself look bad, Trump will dump Kash in a nanosecond.

He wants OBEDIENCE not competence. And the mission is not to fight crime. It is to purge federal law enforcement and the military of anyone not loyal to Trump in order to turn them into partisan weapons loyal to MAGA. A professional would not do that.

What did he expect would happen? He got them all from a temp agency.

Was Kash calling in from Las Vegas, where he lives with his gay partner?

Kash is an idiot. I can imagine the FBI agents rolling their eyes every time he talks

Exactly r25. Kash was hired as a loyal cult member and nothing else. Trump knew he was ridiculously unqualified when he picked him. And every Republican Senator knew he was completely unqualified when they mindlessly, mechanically voted to confirm. Any Republican pretending to be surprised by his complete ineptitude is lying.

Keystone Kash got caught with his baby pants falling down,

[quote]Keystone Kash

Love that, hope it catches on. Trump will loathe a good nickname he didn't coin hitting home.

1. Fire qualified government employees and replace with unqualified henchmen, cut/ embezzle all funding, switch agencies' missions to following the whims of Dear Leader above all else. 2. "This just proves government is corrupt and incometent!" 3. Repeat.

When you fire and remove the competent people (aka "the deep state"), the agency's competence plummets. Who knew?

This should be fun. A richly deserved public humiliation for his arrogance and incompetence.

There’s an FBI office near work. There’s a large memorial of flowers in front of it. Sickening

If I wanted to get yelled at by a humorless Indian I’d read a magazine at 7 Eleven.

Any tips on how to unsee R3's vomit soaked post? Thank you in advance.

Maybe it’s for Kash Patel’s career R37?

(A girl can hope)

J. Edgar Hoover was despicable. That noted, he was THE master of institutional PR. Little boys wanted to grow up and be good little FBI agents, investigating and arresting criminals and enemies of the USA. Kash Patel has made an already weakened institution weaker and soon it will be a laughingstock.

WAITAMINUTE...THAT's his roommate?

So he runs the FBI like a 7-11? That tracks.

The FBI totally fucked up the Kirk investigation—it was the killer’s dad who turned him in. The FBI didn’t do shit

The FBI was likely looking for a trans person

R45...or a black person. Or a Latino. Or a black lesbian.

Or a Black, Latino, illegal immigrant, lesbian, gang member trans person.

I thought Bongino had left the department this summer and was already replaced ? Why is he back in the picture ?

R48 He threatened to leave, but Trump must have patted him on his head and said, "There, there, we'll take care of you, Bingo Bongo."

[quote]and it’s not clear whether he has the operational expertise to investigate

It’s very clear.

Bongo made some noises about quitting when he realized the "release Epstein the files" from the GOP was BS. He even disappeared for a few weeks. Does anyone know if this is the first time he's been spotted publicly since? Imagine working for a company that you had a policy disagreement with and decided not to show up for work as protest. And then get welcomed back.

Gurl, pleez.

I think they names another Deputy to work with Bongino—so Kash has two deputies

Haha- well now congress is bringing Patel before them to question him and find out why he fucked up the investigation so thoroughly.

R54 Patel doesn't do well in Congressional hearings, as is evidenced by when he had to appear before the Budget committee earlier this year. Whenever he got roasted, he just shot back with smug non-answers and behaved like an insolent teenager who got called to the principal's office.

Expect more of the same next week, with him throwing out the word "transgender" as frequently as he possibly can.

Kash will be sitting there with a MAGA hat on stonewalling and trolling and praising Trump and Charlie KKKirk and lambasting the radical left and transgenderism with a big smile on his face. Trump will say “Job well done.” Then we’ll get headlines like “Trump stands by Patel” and move on.

What middle aged man has a roommate??? This is just as bizarre as getting a Christian app to monitor your son's porn.

Great article about his crazy press conference (Doesn’t seem to be behind a paywall).

I just realized that this meeting was online. For some reason I didn't see that in the thread title and assumed in-person because Patel and Bongino were in Utah. Given how lax the administration is about online security and its incompetence in general, you gotta wonder if someone unauthorized listened in.

They mobilize 200 agents and its father in law enforcement who made everything happen. Sounds like a failure to me.

The Valhalla thing really was like an out of. Body experience. These brown MAGA people are truly delusional.

That eulogy is probably why they want him fired. Must have taken a lot of nerve for some Indian midget to claim a Norse birthright like that.

Goddamnit, I asked if that was really his roommate?

An Indian midget with wonky eyes!

[quote]What middle aged man has a roommate???

Oh, hi!

This pops in my head every time Dan Bongino's name is mentioned.

I guess drunkie is in the clear now and Kash is next on the chopping block

The FBI is really buzzing right now, and not just from the flies around Kash and his relatives.

Kash was recently awarded India's highest honor.

Soap.

[quote]What middle aged man has a roommate???

I got rid of my roommate/personal assistant and now I have an imaginary wife.

R65 - link doesn't work

I met my soul mate Mindy and married her R68!

R69 Nick Lutsko singing "I wanna be at the RNC". Not sure why the link is broken.

[QUOTE]I guess drunkie is in the clear now and Kash is next on the chopping block

Which one(s)?! Besides Bessent and Hegseth, I suspect there are other secret alcoholics in the cabinet. What do we know about Lori Chavez? Aren't Messicans supposed to be abject drunks according to the POTUS who appointed her?

I'M NO SECHRET ALKEEHOLIK R72!

Sheesh, even Hoover and Tolson maintained separate residences.

From Hustle Bitch's Twitter:

Right before Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Kash Patel FIRED the head of the FBI’s Salt Lake City field office in Utah.

Former agents called her “absolutely the best in the bureau. A legendary case agent involved in the biggest national security cases of the last two decades.”

In her final warning she said: “What we need here in Utah is more resources, more agents, more professional staff, more intel analysts.”

Guess who would’ve been leading the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassin?

R73 - The Franzia Box Bitch isn't a cabinet member. Unless the USAG from DC is supposed to be.

Have they worked out how to pin it on the trannies yet?

It's that unusual multi-colored spicy food they eat! Have you ever been to one of those Indian buffets? The senior center took a trip to one and apparently Sarah Comstock soiled herself when she thought it was just gas! Luckily Helen pixley had some Clorox wipes and Glade in her car that helped somewhat. Sarah was mortified and has not returned to the senior center since!

Obnoxious, power-obsessed little douche.

R77, they sure have!

Now they’re claiming Tyler Robinson, the sniper, was living with his roommate/romantic partner, a Trans woman.

R80 The roommate/partner is cooperating with law enforcement and helping them build their case.

But she's still going to end up dead in some revenge killing.

Also, RIP this thread. You mentioned THE TRANZ, so it's nuked. We're all about to get blue-barred for saying anything human about that woman.

R81, I heard he moved back home with his parents and was living with them the day he shot Charlie.

I also heard that when he lived with the roommate, others were also roommates, so it wasn’t him living with just one person.

Anyone can be a tranny today but not tomorrow. Gender is fluid. It’s whatever you say you are.

[quote]Goddamnit, I asked if that was really his roommate?

No, of course it isn't. It seems to me I heard he lives with some guy who's older than he is.

Rancid nuts are revolting.

R84 Haha. Thanks

R82 From what I read, it was a platonic roommate situation. Not that facts are relevant nowadays.

R84 and r86 -- This is so confusing. Whose roommate situation are you talking about, the alleged shooter's or Kash Patel's? The shooter and his roommate are around the same age. Patel, well, he lived with a middle-aged man, possibly romantically like the younger roommates.

[QUOTE]the home on a gated golf course community in Las Vegas that he shares with timeshare tycoon Mike Muldoon

Wait, so Bongino on Fox News says they knew the shooting was going to happen? This is getting messier by the day (link to Threads)

He looks like a little demon with crazy beety eyes and wee little voice.

Patel has become hated within the administration in what seems like record time. I read the linked Fox story so you don't have to click. He's cooked, it's just a matter waiting for 90 days so the new deputy director can formally ascend to the role. It's pretty bad when minimally competent people are in a state of consternation about him.

-------------------------

The White House, Bondi, Blanche have no confidence in Kash," one source with knowledge of ongoing personnel discussions said. "Pam in particular cannot stand him. Blanche either," they said, referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche.

Three sources also pointed out co-Deputy Director Dan Bongio’s days are more likely numbered than Patel’s, as he threatened to quit amid fallout from the Epstein feud with Bondi.

Fox is told Patel has received ongoing guidance from Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on improving his working relationship with Bondi. A senior White House official close to President Trump also expressed a desire for Patel to limit his presence on social media, given the gravity of the position he holds.

On Thursday, investigators in Orem, Utah delayed an afternoon press conference citing "rapid developments" as Patel jetted in from New York to appear alongside Gov. Spencer Cox. When officials took to the podium late in the evening, the FBI Director did not speak. Multiple sources told FOX he was forcefully instructed not to – adding that investigators had still not identified a suspect when the briefing was delayed.

The back-to-back communications fumbles sparked fury from AG Bondi, Deputy AG Blanche, and the White House, multiple sources told FOX. On Friday, when authorities announced that the 22-year-old Utah man suspected of Kirk’s murder was in custody, Governor Spencer Cox took the leading role in handling the press. There was concern, one source told FOX, that "letting Kash talk much could f*ck up the prosecution"

R89 is a real Byron up in here!

“Her eyes shown like freshly scrubbed beets!”

Kash is so cooked, and they're not holding back.

On the same day Kirk was shot, three former high-ranking FBI officials filed a lawsuit accusing Patel, Bondi, and their agencies of unlawfully firing them as part of a political purge directed by the DOJ and the White House – something Patel promised against in Senate confirmation hearings.

The larger concern, according to those familiar with the litigation, is Patel allegedly wielded authority belonging solely to the president, citing Article II of the Constitution in dismissal letters he signed. The misstep, they say, creates a legal minefield for the FBI, DOJ, and Executive Office of the President.

"Either way, it’s bad: Kash cannot exercise the powers of the president, and the president can’t fire these officials," a source with direct knowledge of the lawsuit said.

The filing reads, "Article II of the Constitution and the laws of the United States do not vest any such authority with the Director of the FBI. Article II provides authority for the President, and the President alone, to appoint principal officers, concomitant with the power to remove them "at will." None of Plaintiffs are principal officers and, more importantly, the FBI Director is not the President."

A senior law enforcement official said, [bold]"The admin could very well lose in court, and it will be because of Kash’s big mouth, making the president look like an ass."[/bold]

Another example of why the second Trump administration will never become a proper dictatorship, just a half-assed racketeering operation.

It can always get worse.

So desperate...

Many people are saying Miss Kash is a pass around party bottom for fugly Las Vegas real estate developers.

He's brown. He was appointed with scapegoat possibilities.

Trump has already fired two FBI directors, so one more wouldn't hurt. Trouble is, he'd replace him with just another incompetent little MAGA turd who would fuck up just as badly as Kash.

The job requires peerless judgment, a stable temperament, and deep ties to the inner workings of all aspects of law enforcement. Trump needs to pick a cop, and a damned trustworthy one, for the job.

But his ego simply will not allow him to hire anyone whose SOLE loyalty is to HIM. He won't hire a qualified FBI director, because one of those will have their own judgment. And Trump can't allow that. He'll stick another ass-licking toady in that job, and no one in the Senate will stop him.

*someone whose SOLE loyalty is to anyone BUT HIM.

He only hires flunkies.

Trump needs to be removed from office. Congress, do your job!

R92 is Kash really responsible for that?

Yes. Yes he is

Yikes! Kash Patel really does have midget-adjacent voice like Brian Tyler Cohen.

Tiny people must have shorter vocal cords or something. If I had that condition I'd be in hiding!

His Senate hearing was a joke.

I will pay money to see this little thing try to scream on American agents. Laughable

Who's had him? Is he on that Grindhouse app?

He started screaming at Adam Schiff in his Senate testimony today.

I don't think he's very mentally stable these days.

Little men who scream are a trigger for me. Can't stand then.

He’s quite a homely thing.

Miss Kash is pathetic. I watched about 5 minutes of him today trying to butch up--"Senator, it's standard procedure for the FBI to administer polys".

Oh honey no, all that was needed was your hand on hip, a pivot-turn, and a flounce out of the chamber.

So DLers, ever seen him at the bars, bathhouses or apps? What’s his “queer” story? There seems to be jokes about it but obviously it didn’t come from nowhere? Is it suspicion of him having a roommate or are there other events?

Who cares? He’s hideous.
