6 Craziest Revelations From Scathing Report on Kashyp Patel

Including His Refusal to Leave a Plane Until He Was Given a Female Agent’s Jacket

A blistering report from a number of current and former federal agents blasted the FBI under Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, saying it has been a “circus” and “all f*cked up” under their leadership.

The 115-page report, first reported on by The New York Post’s Miranda Devine on Monday, was from the National Alliance of Retired and Active-Duty FBI Special Agents and Analysts. It paints a damning picture of the bureau under Patel, who is branded as someone who is “insecure,” lacks “self-confidence,” and is unfit for the role. Bongino, meanwhile, is described as a “clown.”

Those current and former agents recently shared the “pulse check” report with the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, which is chaired by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA). Here are six of the most brutal, wild, and funny takeaways below:

2. FBI agents “laughed at” Patel for ordering the removal of pronouns and messages from email signatures — even though his email signature contained his own message

3. Patel’s FBI is infected by a “culture of mistrust and uncertainty”

4. Feds are tired of Patel and Bongino’s “obsession” with social media

5. Patel ordered agents to take a polygraph test after they discussed whether he should be issued an FBI firearm

6. Bongino disgusted agents when he declared “The truth is for chumps”

You'll have to go to the link to get the explanation of each. DU limits articles to four paragraphs due to copyright laws.

He's a cartoon character I don't see sticking around by the start of the new year. I think trump realized the sheen has gone off Patel's pile and it's just houseflies now.

Basically, the DEI hires didn't do their work and white guys were upset about it because they were afraid to report on it but now that Patel is in charge and they have obliterated DEI hires, those white guys are now happy.

In other words, they couldn't be outwardly racist.

Appointing 2 clowns to run the FBI works either way for Trump: either they turn it into a secret police that persecutes Trump's enemies, or they turn it into a complete shambles. MFer could GAF either way.
