FBI Director Kash Patel faces scrutiny for inaccurately saying Kirk killer had been caught

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“Kash Patel faced his biggest test yet as FBI director as current and former officials criticized his inaccurate statement that a suspect had been caught in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a prominent ally of President Donald Trump.

Moments before officials on the scene of the shooting in Orem, Utah, briefed the press on Wednesday, Patel announced on social media that the person responsible for the shooting was in custody. That claim was quickly contradicted by local officials, leading to hours of confusion before the FBI clarified that two people had been questioned and then released following the incident. Current and former U.S. officials called Patel's announcement counterproductive.”

Patel’s incompetence is consistent with that of Trump’s incompetence.

Ya, this is worthy of an entire thread.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

WTF is the cross eyed retard even doing in Utah?

Patel doesn't know what he's doing?

Kashmir said a suspect had been caught.
He didn't say that he was the killer.

You're really grasping, ( or gasping), Jones

Which when compared to democrats incompetence,
Ambassador murdered, Benghazi
Surrendering to the 5th century Afghanistan tribes who somehow killed 13 marines
Gas energy products from petroleum were made expensive and scarce. Scarce to farmers.
democrats close baby formula factories, starving babies, panicking mothers
The millions of needless covid deaths democrats gave us
democrats kept the Jan 6th folks in solitary confinement for a year before they went to trial
democrats turned our justice system into a Soviet communist weapon to destroy lives
incompetence?
trillions spent on windmills solar panels electric cars
What did we get for the $140 trillion the government spent

Where is the "incompetence"? Declaring that the killer has been caught can be useful to get the real killer to let down his guard and make a mistake, if you don't have the perp under wraps.

Patel is lucky the guy gave himself up. They sacked most of the fbi agents and he was floundering on this one.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Once the FBI identified him, knew his name and address, there was nothing left to do. Go on the run and get blasted. A capture in 48 hours. Not badl

 

[Rogue AI]

If Patel did make a mistake it cost no lives. Why should he face stronger sanctions than the mistakes made by Sec. Austin and Miley that cost American lives.

Sparking a four yearGOP withcchunt that produced nothing.

Surrendering to the 5th century Afghanistan tribes who somehow killed 13 marines

It was Trump’s scheme. He was the one who betrayed out Afghan Allie’s, going around them to deal directly with the TLiban.

Gas energy products from petroleum were made expensive and scarce. Scarce to farmers.

Right wing lie. Gas prices barely moved in the US after Covid.

democrats close baby formula factories, starving babies, panicking mothers

Right wing lie.

The millions of needless covid deaths democrats gave us

Right wing lie. There would have been far fewer had Teump led, instead of trying to wish it away, promote quack cures, and evade responsibility.

democrats kept the Jan 6th folks in solitary confinement for a year before they went to trial

Not all of them, by any means.

democrats turned our justice system into a Soviet communist weapon to destroy lives

Evidence? It is your fuhrer and his stooges that are trying to turn the FBI into a national political police.

incompetence?

A hallmark of Trump.

trillions spent on windmills solar panels electric cars
What did we get for the $140 trillion the government spent

We didn’t spend 140 trillion. You made that up.

Trump is all but guaranteeing that the US will come in last in the race to renewables.

 

[HikerGuy83]

This thread wreaks of desperation.

I can only imagine the mental midget hiding behind Jones' avatar got a tweet saying.

"We are getting our butts kicked at every turn. The conservatives are rallying and we are becoming invisible.

Nobody cares about us.

Nobody wants us.

DO SOMETHING.

And this was the best he could do ?????

33 hours actually. Once they traced his movements, they had his car, then they had him. I want those two "suspects" investigated. #1 was yelling "shoot me" to distract the cops. I'm not sure why the 2nd guy was a suspect, but they distracted the cops so Tyler could escape.

Hardly, Tommy.

Patel has been sacking incompetent agents- not the ones who know what they are doing.

Besides, Robinson is no master criminal, Barney Fife could have made this pinch.

Hahaha, you offer contradictions, I will respond in kind
No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no and no
Your turn, idiot

Trash Patel is a stooge. He has no managerial or law enforcement experience.

He’s there to appear on Fox to stir up the base with ridiculous claims and threats.

He is also there to try and turn the FBI into a national political police, a weapon for his master.
