Trump FBI In CRISIS MODE as PATEL is Caught in HOT SEAT - Legal AF



Kash Patel should be fired for misconduct and incompetence in his bungling of the Charlie Kirk murder "manhunt" as he refused to stop having dinner (and drinks?) with friends at an exclusive Manhattan Italian restaurant to get his facts straight about the investigation and quarterback it properly from the FBI's headquarters.

And then he had the brass ones to take credit for the capture of the suspect which was caused by his family turning him in, not the FBI's sleuthing skills. Michael Popok ties it all together on his latest hot take. - 09/13/2025.

And it had to be delayed since he and Longino insisted on being present.

Also, I liked what one reporter said--the FBI Director does not need to be present for the press conference about the shootings and Patel is one of the few FBI Directors who has even went to the scene. He should let the professionals do their jobs. (I especially liked the sound of that)

Never has there been a more deserving officeholder to be sued than Patel. If there is any fairness and justice, he and the other cronies of the Felon in the FBI named in the suit will lose it.

We know that he can never admit to a mistake - even if it threatens national security.
