And give up my reservation?

Kash Patel was apparently tweeting his updates about the FBI’s failure to capture Charlie Kirk’s assassin from the choicest restaurant space in East Harlem:

FBI Director Kash Patel was dining at Rao’s in New York on Wednesday night after the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, two sources familiar with his whereabouts told NBC News.

Patel had posted on X at 6:21 p.m. ET that the “subject” in Kirk’s killing was “in custody.” Rao’s, a well-known restaurant that is notoriously tough to get into, opens at 7 p.m.

Then, at 7:59 p.m., Patel posted a follow-up post that the “subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement.”

The details come amid criticism from multiple former FBI officials of Patel’s handling of the Kirk investigation.

One law enforcement official said that the “horrific event” of Kirk’s killing showcased Patel’s “public inability to meet the moment as a leader.”

Come on, Scorsese was at the next table! You expect him to fly to Utah?

In related news, once it turned out that the murderer wasn’t a trans communist Trump also lost interest:

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
