Trump's cross-eyed little rodent reaches for his "WE GOT HIM" moment, except "HE" didn't.

I don't believe DU needs a reference link, because I think we'll all remember Barack Obama walking up to the microphone and pronouncing "We got him" after Osama Bin Laden was turned into compost.

Embattled FBI Director Claims Credit For Capture
Amid rising criticism of his agency's handling of the investigation into Charlie Kirk's death, FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X Saturday, claiming credit for the capture of a suspect.

"Against all law enforcement recommendations, we demanded the video footage and enhanced stills of the suspect be released to the public." Patal said.

The FBI director then went on to argue that those stills were the reason the suspect's father turned him in.

Robinson’s father, who ultimately turned him in to authorities, told law enforcement that he recognized his son in that released video. pic.twitter.com/nCwEso3vth

...Obama came up in the results. So maybe it was both. But the reference is apt for Spaghetti Boy taking credit.

Law enforcement literally releases footage and stills to the public every single time. This is so goofy. Their great act of rebellion and innovation was releasing video images and pictures of the suspect to the public?

How is it that people don't laugh in their faces when they say this kind of nonsense?

And always seems to fall flat on their faces.
Sheer buffoonery.

... "We Got Him (and he's dead)." I think, if the father/family did not turn him in, he would have been seized in an altercation leading to his death. I think the FBI director expected that outcome. However, the Patel team will congratulate themselves for the information being released, and leading to the capture.
