The FBI is a “rudderless ship” under Director Kash Patel, who was described as being “in over his head,” according to a new report from active-duty and retired FBI agents set to be presented to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees later this week.
The report revealed that when Patel arrived in Provo in the aftermath of the Kirk assassination, he “refused to step down from the plane without wearing one” of the FBI’s raid jackets. Agents were still dealing with the Charles Kirk assassination, yet had to “ask around to find an FBI raid jacket – a medium sized one – that would fit FBI Director Kash Patel.” They eventually located a female special agent’s jacket, but Patel noticed two spots without velcro patches.
“ALPHA 99 said FBI Director Kash Patel then reportedly said he would not leave the aircraft until he had two patches to cover those areas.” Two FBI SWAT members removed patches from their own uniforms and “ran” them over to Patel before he finally disembarked.
One agent referred to the FBI’s leadership as the “Kash-Bongino circus,” while another criticized Patel for “paralyzing leadership at all levels.”
