Ka$h Patel's Rendezvous With GF Foiled

 

The FBI's angry, incompetent bug-eyed zealot Director Kashyap "Ka$h" Patel was on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews on Friday morning, purportedly headed to Chicago for a meeting with FBI staff there.  In actuality, word leaked out from within the FBI that the trip was a cover to use the FBI jet to see his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins perform in Chicago.  MS Now broke the story:

"Patel cancelled his flight to Chicago just as he was preparing to leave on Friday morning, according to three people briefed on his move. But the trip to Chicago was already stirring anger and controversy inside the FBI, multiple current and former law enforcement officials told MS NOW. He was planning to attend his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins’ performance Saturday at a country music festival held in the parking lot of a major Chicago stadium, the three people said. Patel’s staff had arranged for the director to make an office visit Friday to the Chicago field office to coincide with his trip, according to two other people with knowledge of the director’s schedule. 

Several FBI agents complained internally that this office visit was belatedly-added cover to justify Patel flying the director’s jet — which is estimated to cost tens of thousands of dollars for such domestic trips — to enjoy a weekend in Chicago with his girlfriend, the people said. 

'Patel was coming (to Chicago) today for a fake office visit for his girlfriend’s country concert this weekend,' one of the sources briefed on the trip said.  The source noted Patel 'cancelled the trip while on the tarmac at Andrews' and was 'summoned to the White House immediately,' adding that it was 'apparent panic' and 'believed to be in response to his morning tweet today.'”  (our emphasis)

The tweet referred to was one sent by Patel to MS Now bashing their story about his lifestyle and demand for perks on his official travels.  The report goes on to say the Malignant Fascist's regime is tired of negative stories about Patel's drinking and using Federal resources for personal use.  The last straw was the optics of going off to nest with his girlfriend in Chicago while law enforcement is dealing with threats from Iran against the MF's life:    

"A source familiar with efforts to help Patel repair his standing in the White House told MS NOW there have been multiple interventions by people who like Patel and have been trying to help him in his position as director.

'With everything going on in the war, how are you not outside the Oval Office ready to go into the Situation Room? the source said."

Indeed, although they might be better off not having his frantic incompetence there.

Hackers Hack Hack's E-Mails

 

The sycophantic, bug-eyed Director of the FBI Kashyap "Kash" Patel's personal e-mail account has apparently been hacked by a group of pro-Iran hackers.  From the Associated Press:

"A pro-Iranian hacking group claimed Friday to have hacked an account of FBI Director Kash Patel and has posted online what appear to be years-old photographs of him, along with a work resume and other personal documents. Many of those records appeared to be more than a decade old.

'Kash Patel, the current head of the FBI, who once saw his name displayed with pride on the agency’s headquarters, will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims,' said a message posted Friday from the group Handala.

The message was accompanied by more than a half dozen photos of Patel, including ones of him standing beside an antique sports car and another with a cigar in his mouth. The group also said that it was making available for download emails and other documents from Patel’s account. Many of the records appeared to relate to his personal travels and business from more than 10 years ago." (our emphasis)

For someone in Kashyap's position, who is partially responsible for our domestic security, this is a screw up of Epstein epic proportions.  There may be compromising information, photos, etc. in his e-mails that would prove valuable to foreign adversaries.  Even more embarrassing than his bro beer pounding with the U.S. Olympic hockey team weeks ago, which drew the side eye of the always envious and mentally ill Malignant Fascist.  Sad!

This latest embarrassment won't win MAGA cult hack Kashyap friends in the White House either.  In a regime of incompetent, unserious people, he's a poster boy.  Better update that résumé, Kashyap!

Patel Rebuked By FBI Agents Association

 

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.

Who You Gonna Believe, The Liar Or The Liar?

 

One of the more scurrilous characters to populate the Malignant Loser's regime (and there were so many), Kash "No Checks" Patel has to be one of the more slavishly loyal ones. A former aide to disgraced flunky Rep. Devin Nunes, Patel was in the critical position of chief of staff to former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller from November 2020 on, and likely played a role in denying urgent requests for National Guard troops to defend the Capitol on January 6. 

Most recently, in addition to his board of directors membership on the Malignant Loser's "Truth" Social site, Patel was designated as the intermediary between the Malignant Loser and the National Archives regarding records unlawfully retained at Mar-a- Lago. As a result, he's was called before a grand jury last week to give sworn testimony about the failure to produce all of the documents unlawfully held, and to determine whether justice was obstructed on the orders of the Malignant Loser. As MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell observed last night, the Malignant Loser may be worrying about what Patel actually told the grand jury:

“Kash Patel might’ve taken the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer any questions under oath to that grand jury. Or, Kash Patel may have decided it was time to save himself and stop lying for Donald Trump.

Nothing prevents Kash Patel from telling them what he told the grand jury. But Donald Trump’s problem is he is a pathological liar who has attracted into his employ other pathetic pathological liars ― like Kash Patel.

Donald Trump's lawyers have no idea what he told the grand jury."  (our emphasis)

O'Donnell then drove home the key point:

“When one of his pathological liars is now telling him what he said to a grand jury, how can Donald Trump believe that? How can Donald Trump’s lawyers rely on that?”  (our emphasis)

And that's the "Catch 22" for zealots like Patel: when your cult leader is a pathological liar, you observe and assume the character of your cult leader to stay in his favor. The problem is the Malignant Loser will throw Patel under the bus at the first moment he feels threatened (and pathetically, Patel probably wouldn't mind).

Trump Insiders Subpoenaed By January 6 Committee

 

The first subpoenas have gone out to four Trumpers who would have intimate knowledge of the malignant loser's words and actions on and before the January 6 insurrection:

Four former Trump administration officials have been hit with subpoenas by the House select committee investigating the January 6th riots at the United States Capitol building.

The first four officials receiving subpoenas are former chief of staff Mark Meadows, former political strategist Steve Bannon, former social media director Dan Scavino, and former defense official Kash Patel.

The group as a whole has until October 7th to respond to the subpoenas. Bannon and Patel are being ordered to appear before the committee on October 14th, with Meadows and Scavino slated to appear before the committee a day later.

(There's no additional content at the link.)

This is the equivalent of going for the jugular right out of the box, given the proximity of these four dead-ender bums to what we know was underway between the election and January 6;  Meadows and Scavino because of their positions in the White House and as purveyors of the Big Lie following the election; Patel because of his ties to the Pentagon and what role he might have played in delaying a National Guard response to the insurrection.  Bannon, as a planner of the "Stop the Steal" rally that preceded the assault on the Capitol, is of particular importance given his history of filling the empty head of the malignant loser with visions of autocratic grandeur.  These are the Four Horses' Asses of the Apocalypse, and the committee was right in targeting them with subpoenas, since they were highly unlikely to appear before the committee otherwise.
