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.

    That first article is disingenuous MSM propaganda; claiming the investigations of Trump staff were similar to the Red Scare is disgusting. I’m not defending the FBI’s crimes, but investigating suspects much longer than the evidence should allow is completely different to destroying the lives of thousands of people associated with suspected leftists. The situations are not even remotely equivalent.

    And that second articles MAGA mental illness is made clear in the first few sentences.

    Find better sources. Stop injecting cult propaganda into your veins.
