Summary
FBI Director Kash Patel, appointed by Donald Trump despite lacking law enforcement experience, has frustrated current and former FBI and DOJ officials with what they see as a lack of seriousness and professionalism.
Patel skipped or scaled back key briefings and ended routine field office meetings, citing leaks.
Critics cite a leadership void, public relations stunts, and excessive travel including multiple trips unrelated to work.
Patel also briefly led the ATF but was quietly replaced after being absent.
Gee whiz, it would be a shame if a lot of trained investigators decided to do a little off the books research into what Putin has on Donnie. A real shame…
Hard to so that without a budget. And thats exactly why Kash is doing this.
What would that matter at this point?
They’d need to do something more.
