Heckuva job, Kashie
By 
I’m not entirely convinced that putting mid-tier social media influencers in charge of federal law enforcement was a good idea:
On Thursday morning, a day after hastily suggesting the person who gunned down Charlie Kirk was in custody, Kash Patel, the FBI director, convened an online meeting with 200 agents around the country to discuss the search. It was a tense affair.
Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, made it clear they were under intense pressure to catch the killer of Kirk. They expressed themselves with such fierce urgency that, in the view of some participants, it hinted at another motive: to prove they were up to the task.
The director wasted no time before calling out subordinates that he said failed to give him timely information and was incensed that agents in Salt Lake City waited nearly 12 hours to show him a photo of the suspected killer, according to three people familiar on the exchange.
Patel said he would not tolerate any more “Mickey Mouse operations,” an official on the call recounted. It was one of his few utterances without profanity, the person added.
To paraphrase his good friend Wayne Gretzky, if Kash Patel is in charge it’s a Mickey Mouse operation by definition.
You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.
