Incompetent, corrupt, zealous MAGA operative Kash "No Credit" Patel is regularly screwing up in his quest to make the FBI a tool of the vindictive Malignant Fascist. His recent use of an FBI jet for a date with his apparently clueless girlfriend Alexis Wilkins, after decrying former FBI Director Christoper Wray's use of an FBI jet, prompted him to fire the FBI official in charge of their aircraft fleet, despite the fact that his plane was tracked on a public website. Steve Benen has much more:
"As this week got underway, there were some unconfirmed reports about FBI Director Kash Patel firing several officials linked to the faux controversy known as 'Arctic Frost,' though soon after, there were related reports that the firings had been reversed.
At about the same time, The New York Times reported that Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., had intervened to 'halt the dismissal' of some veteran FBI agents, insisting that their ouster 'would hamper work on ongoing cases.'
A day later, it now appears they were fired anyway: MSNBC has confirmed the four experienced FBI agents have been kicked out of the bureau because of their work on former special counsel Jack Smith’s election investigation." (our emphasis)
This latest outrage prompted the FBI Agents Association - 14,000 strong, representing 90% of active FBI agents -- to rebuke Patel, reading in part:
"The actions yesterday — in which FBI Special Agents were terminated and then reinstated shortly after, and then only to be fired again today — highlight the chaos that occurs when long-standing policies and processes are ignored. An Agent simply being assigned to an investigation and conducting it appropriately within the law should never be grounds for termination. Director Patel has disregarded the law and launched a campaign of erratic and arbitrary retribution. FBI Agents deal in facts, and we urge Director Patel to do the same. When leadership abandons due process, it doesn’t just erode trust — it makes the American public less safe." (our emphasis)
Benen's article is a catalogue of Patel's offenses against the FBI and the rule of law. He knows he's safe as long as keeps ass kissing his cult leader in the Oval Office and advancing his attempts to shape the FBI into an instrument of revenge against his political adversaries.
