"The person who shot up a Brown University lecture hall with a semi-automatic weaponwhich are illegal in Australia, by the way, which is the reason that the butcher's bill at Bondi Beach wasn't horribly higheris still at large. And Kash Patel is the primary reason why. It turns out that putting an Internet troll at the head of the FBI was not an optimal personnel move."
"On Sunday, the morning after the shooting, Patel leaped onto the electric Xwitter machine to announce that his people had detained a person of interest in a Rhode Island hotel. Someone leaked the suspect's name, and a number of newspapers, including The Washington Post, printed it. A few hours later, Rhode Island authorities announced that they had released the man that Patel had pronounced a person of interest because he wasn't of interest after all."
"On the Corruption vs. Incompetence meter, by which every member of this administration must be judged, Patel has blown up the middle ground. Between his using FBI assets to further his romantic endeavors, and this bungling of an important investigation, the rank and file at the Bureau are beginning to look at their Director the way the crew of the Caine looked at Captain Queeg."
A shooter at Brown University remains at large after a lecture-hall attack involving a semi-automatic weapon. Kash Patel publicly announced that his people had detained a person of interest at a Rhode Island hotel, and a leaked name was printed by several newspapers including The Washington Post. Rhode Island authorities later released that man, saying he was no longer a person of interest. The Rhode Island attorney general said investigators had only a quantum of evidence justifying the brief detention. Patel's social-media proclamations follow past erroneous posts and alleged misuse of FBI resources, eroding rank-and-file confidence in leadership.
