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.
Lol, yes – Let’s hear from a conservative opinion piece and also the founder of Citizens United’s pet propaganda project to make our point about a factual event. I do appreciate the citing though, please keep doing that just with real sources.
