Advocate.com · Trump's FBI pick Kash Patel slammed for violent videoBy Christopher Wiggins

Headline:
Kash doesn’t want to be the guy to tell fanboys when nothing happens and James Comey doesn’t get prosecuted for “threat”
Website NationalZero then posts xweets by current FBI director Crazy Eyes Patel and crazy hair Sen Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) in connection with the threat made on convicted felon Trump that only MAGAs can decode.

Ingrassia, Cauley & Martin are not the only #Trump admin officials connected to #antisemitic #extremists.

Before becoming #FBI director, #KashPatel appeared 8 separate times on a podcast hosted by #FarRight #ConspiracyTheorist #StewPeters, who promotes #HolocaustDenial. Peters posted a photo of himself holding #Hitler's #MeinKampf w/the message "visionary leadership." In recent days, he attacked the founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, w/antisemitic vitriol.

Warning: Rant ahead:

I'm fed up with #courtrulings, I'm fed up with scathing rebukes of the Trump admin. and MAGA !

It's time for HANDCUFFS!!!!! JAIL!!!!!

ARREST THEM: #StephenMiller, #ScottBessent, #OrangeMussolini, #SteveBannon, #PamBondi, #ShrekHoman, #TriciaMcLaughlin, #ICEagents, #PeteHegseth, #RussllVought, #SamuelAlito, #ClarenceThomas, #KashPatel, #MarcoRubio and the rest of the nazi thugs.

And I'm sick of the USA affecting every other fucking country on Earth with the #farright MAGA bullshit

2 current #FBI ofcls told NBC News that #KashPatel’s #intelligence briefers have struggled to craft a briefing “that captures his attention.”

This is not limited to Patel. Politico reports:

Since #Trump was sworn into office in Jan, he has sat for just 12 presentations from intelligence ofcls….That’s a significant drop….In…his first term, Trump met w/intel ofcls 2X a week for the briefing, which provides the intelligence community’s summary of the most pressing #NationalSecurity challenges….

Continued thread

NBCNews reported last week that while #FBI directors have, for decades, attended a daily 8:30AM “director’s brief,” #KashPatel is receiving these briefings only 2X a week — in part because he kept failing to show up for work on time. He has also apparently abandoned a Wednesday afternoon teleconference meeting with bureau leaders in field offices.

🙉🙈

#Trump reportedly shrugs off #intelligence briefings he needs, but doesn’t want

In his first term, Trump blew off intelligence briefings that he needed to govern. Now the problem is even worse.

Among the many problems w/ #KashPatel’s embarrassing tenure as #FBI director is his willful #ignorance.
