Since it's all over the front page of newspapers around the country I hardly think I need to explain why Pete's head should be on the chopping block. There's a persuasive argument to be made he should already be gone, and never should have been nominated in the first place.
Consequently, this story is flying under the radar.
Patel’s girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, asked FBI agents on her security team at least two times, including once this spring, to drive her friend home, and agents objected to diverting from their assignment, said the sources, who were granted anonymity to discuss nonpublic matters. But Patel insisted they do as Wilkins requested and in one case called the leader of Wilkins’ security detail and yelled at him to do so.
News of the effort to deploy agents to provide security for a private citizen has spread through the bureau and beyond, as agents have grown increasingly concerned by Patel’s use of the bureau’s strapped resources, the people said.
FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson broadly disputed that such events took place.
“This is made up and did not happen,” Williamson said.

But Kash has two things going for him. One, it would be a bad look to fire both the FBI director and the Sec. of Defense. Two, now that the media has speculated Patel has one foot out the door it makes trump want to pretend the reporting is wrong.
Therefore, in a normal circumstance, I'd give the edge to Pete. But Don's priority in these matters is not national security. It is saving face by not firing anyone since it would be a tacit admission he hired the wrong people. A reflection on his poor judgement. And we mustn't have that. After all, he's infallible.
