His only qualification for the job for Trump was being ‘Loyal’? ….
FBI Director Kash Patel is facing withering criticism from an alliance of active-duty and retired agents and analysts, days after the White House denied media reports that the president is about to fire him.
A troubling new report card on the first six months of Patel’s leadership concludes he is “in over his head” and his deputy, Dan Bongino, is “something of a clown,” according to the alliance, which in two previous reports warned about crippling DEI and politicization of the FBI during the Biden administration.
The Patel-led FBI is described in the 115-page report as a “rudderless ship” and “all f–ked up.”
Patel is described by multiple internal sources as inexperienced, with one source saying he “has neither the breadth of experience nor the bearing an FBI director needs to be successful.”
Another source, a self-professed Trump supporter, said Patel is “not very good,” “may be insecure,” and“lacks the requisite experience” or the “measured self-confidence” to be FBI director.
…
Some of the heavy criticism stems from Patel’s behavior in Salt Lake City after the Charlie Kirk assassination. He is accused of giving “premature public remarks” that potentially jeopardized the investigation, taking credit for the work of other agencies when the suspect was arrested, and for yelling and swearing at the agent in charge.
Both he and Bongino were criticized for “arrogance” and an “unfortunate obsession with social media.”
One source said they need to “stop talking, stop posing, and just be professional.” Another said they are “spending too much time on social media and public relations” and “are too often concerned with building their own personal résumés.”
…
The authors say they “would like nothing more than for the FBI” and Patel “to succeed . . . for the Greater Good and the Nation” but “redemption and resurrection of this proud agency will never be achieved unless there is full transparency . . . to expose critical cultural and operational deficiencies.”
They conclude by advising the notoriously thin-skinned Patel and Bongino to heed the criticism if they want to succeed….
