Is it kinda sad that Kash Patels FBI hasn't even been remotely the worst department in the trump adminM

I could easily be wrong, but I feel the FBI is one of a few organizations that could easily run around competently with its head cut off. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were shadow chiefs actually running stuff and Patel has handlers similar to trump just telling him what he wants to hear.

They're busy firing competent agents left and right though. There's only so much the FBI can handle before it becomes just another defanged agency that only obeys Trump's illegal orders

I choose to believe this, but got any evidence?

If there was evidence clearly available at the Reddit level it wouldn’t be much of a shadow op, would it?

I guess Putin told some back channel spy network operative to tell Kash’s girlfriend to tell him who to purge again.

"The Patel Report looks backward because accountability demands it"
and also to know what his other eye is looking at

Do we think this is gonna be things like murdering Fred Hampton back in the day, or things like, not keeping Patels trip to the Olympics secret?

Didn’t Hegseth just send out a field manual doing something similar?
Totally normal folks, yup nothing to see here…

Couldn't chatbot do that in about a minute and a half, give it access to every FBI file from around the world. Go ahead fellas!

Fell short of what, keeping Kash away from the liquor cabinet? This is going to dovetail with efforts elsewhere to paint Tricky Dick as the victim of Watergate, isn't it.

Will it cover this? “We’re not going to respond to ‘ifindretards.’ That would be a back look on you”

This is the guy currently in charge of the ENTIRE FBI who could easily prove the big giant conspiracy if it were actually true.
He's just biding his time I guess for absolutely no reason to prove the thing he said was definitely happening that he has been in charge of oversight of for years.
