Who knew that hiring someone to run the Federal Bureau of Investigation simply because he wrote fawning picture books about President Donald Trump would be a bad choice with real-world consequences?
Everyone.
Everyone knew that tapping Kash Patel to run the FBI was an absurd choice. And if there was any doubt about that, Patel himself has dispelled every last remaining shred by basically live-tweeting his own failures at investigating the Charlie Kirk shooting.
Its rake-stepping all the way down, and we allunfortunatelyhave a front-row seat.

(4,027 posts)But I'm not sure that's going to be THAT easy with a case like this, with all the attention the suspect is going to get. Some rando school shooting with lower stakes, it's probably simple. If Patel ends up having to frame some patsy for THIS crime though, because the truth doesn't back IQ47's storyline, it's going to be challenging. But to your point, Patel is probably not up to that task, esp. not when everyone around him is of a similar level of incompetence
