Cash Patel is getting fired. That is what one report is saying, and is it any surprise? Because while
Cash Patel is engaging in multiple scandals across the FBI, he's had many mess-ups that have made the FBI look inept.
Cash was also doing Stephen Miller's wife's podcast while they're still looking for the person who committed the Brown mass shooting.
Yeah. Katie Miller, by the way, who responded to a.
a tweet of mine. I'll show you that in just a minute. But let's get to this report from Salon
that is saying that Cash Fatel is on the way out. Cash Patel and Dan Bonjino, Dan Bongino,
likely out soon it says here. Cash Patel's troubled tenure as Donald Trump's FBI director
may be at its end, according to multiple sources in the wake of the recent mass shooting
at Brown University, along with the series of other perceived mishaps. Meanwhile, staffers also say
that deputy director Dan Bongino is already, quote, out the door signaling a larger shakeup
at the agency.
Now, there have been multiple scrups within the FBI.
Patel boasted on Sunday on X that the FBI had brought in a person of interest in the
Brown shooting using, quote, geolocation capabilities and then added that Providence
Police Chief Oscar Perez had praised the FBI for following through on a tip to locate
the potential suspect.
What many are alleging is that Cashchristel of the FBI,
just pick someone out of theater,
just to make it seem like the FBI
was actually doing something.
But of course, Cash Rettel is a podcaster.
He has absolutely zero experience
to be doing this very serious job.
And that's why a few hours later
in a Sunday evening press conference,
Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Narana
said that the person had been released
as there was, quote, no basis to keep them in custody.
Now, Caspertel has said similar things before,
with a Charlie Kirk shooting, he said,
the subject of the horrific shooting today
that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody.
Thank you to local state authorities in Utah
for the partnership with the FBI.
And then as the community notes says here,
Director Patel has since published an update
from his official FBI director, Cash Patel Handel,
that says the subject in custody has been released
after an interrogation by law enforcement.
So typically with this sort of thing,
like I worked for the New York City Council,
obviously not the same as working for the FBI.
FBI, but I was in charge of the communications of the speaker of the city council at least
like went out in the internet.
And with this sort of stuff, you always want to be, like you always want to make sure you
have everything right before you hit send.
And it's clear that Cash Patel is just posting this stuff himself to look like a big boy,
to feel big and to get a dopamine hit, right?
And so that is why Donald Trump has also made multiple mess ups because he's going off.
because he's going off of what Cash Patel is saying, and I'm sure that is part of the reason
why Donald Trump wants to let this man go, is because he's making him look bad. Not that
Donald Trump ever looks good, but he's making him look worse. Your personal information is everywhere.
Your home address, your phone number, details about your family. It's just sitting online
where anyone can find it. And that's how people end up with credit cards opened in their name,
fake tax returns filed or even worse. Now, that's why I use incogni. What changed for me is seeing real
results. First, I've seen my name and my home address disappear from sites where they have never
should have been. Second, when I check my incogny dashboard, I can see removal requests
marked complete. Now, that's confirmation that my data is actually gone. And with Incogni's new

and their privacy agents handle it. So don't wait, go to incogny.com slash Keith Edwards and use

Patel from inside the FBI White House officials on background said that Trump, quote, wouldn't
be all that upset to see Patel go. According to three different sources inside the FBI, the once
respected federal law enforcement agency is, quote, in shambles. Morrell is at an all-time low,
said one 30-year veteran adding that, quote,
the cause is at the top.
Staffors say that Bongino's office has been empty for close to two weeks,
oh my God, indicating that he has already left the agency.
No such announcement has been made, however,
and Bongino remains active on social media on Monday.
He reposted news of the FBI's arrest of four alleged members of a pro-Palestinian group
accused of planning a New Year's Eve bombing attack on Los Angeles.
quote, nobody will ever miss.
One of those staffer says,
quote, he has no credibility.
We're going to go on.
According to FBI sources who spoke to Salon,
Andrew Bailey,
who recently was Missouri's attorney general,
is favored to be the FBI director,
quote, probably around the first of the year.
Oh my God, so this is going to happen fast.
We're talking on two weeks.
No more cash.
Cash is going to clock out.
Bailey is viewed positively by Magite Insiders
and reportedly has the backing of
Senator Josh Holly.
Democrats say that he has no FBI experience and is motivated by politics.
Quote, President Trump is pointing a partisan politician.
That's not good.
I think probably, I think probably the only thing worse than Cash Patel is a competent
Cash Patel.
And that could very well be what we're going to get.
So that's the thing with these people is like you strike one down metaphorically
and someone even worse, more awful.
and more competent rises up in their place.
Like, I guess, I guess is Pambondi worse than Matt Gates?
No, I think Matt Gates would have been better than Pan Bondi.
So in that one instance, perhaps the rule was not true, was not true.
But I do think that if we were to get rid of Pambandi,
and certainly if we get rid of Cash Pertelton, and this guy gets in,
it's only awful, competent people who could potentially take their place.
Now, the White House responded to this saying,
there's no truth to any of it.
And President Trump has full confidence in the entire law.
enforcement and justice team. Okay. Okay. Do you? This is what the, this is what the FBI was doing,
looking for the Brown University suspect. If anyone watching right now knows, like what the hell are they
doing? Go into the snow. You can see them that they're kicking the snow out of the way,
methodically looking step by step looking to see if there's anything in the snow at all that can help
uh help point them in the right direction of this investigation i would hate that job i hate being cold
i would i i i cannot be outside for more than 10 minutes even fully i would not be good at that job
but are they do like what are they doing is that normal is that a normal fbi procedure someone said
here ladies and gentlemen cashetell's fbi this got this one this one
super, super viral and then someone said, can Trump just fire him already? And someone else said,
I'm no forensics expert, but if you think there's evidence in the snow, having multiple agents
drag boots across snow and a half hazard matter seems like amateur hour. It does like very
amateur, doesn't it? There's just something about this that, like, like peeking over the fence,
be peeking over it. Oh, no, nothing there. Okay, yeah, this is not. Now, is it any surprise because
he was on, well, while their shooter is at large,
Katie Miller, I love, I love this Katie Miller podcast.
It is the best thing to come out of the Trump administration
because it's like they're trying to be,
they're trying to be a, she's trying to be a culture podcast
with people in the government.
It doesn't make sense.
And it more than, like, I think more than like the adversarial interviews,
it lets them hang themselves in a kind of beautiful way.
And the fact that they, Casper tell her,
like, hey, Katie, you got to hold the interview for a week, two weeks until we, I don't know,
catch the guy. Or you would, maybe a competent PR or competent comms department and the FBI
would say, sorry, we're killing the interview. You cannot release that. I don't know. But no,
she did an interview with Cash Patel. Now, before we get to that, I just got to show you.
This is from the FBI. This is from the Vanity Fairpiece, Stephen Miller. I wrote,
Katie Miller sees this and says,
hell yeah, imagine seeing this and be like,
fuck yeah, that's my man.
Fuck yeah, hell yeah.
That's what I like.
Yeah, that's what I like to go home to.
That's my white supremacist.
Well, Katie Miller responded affirmatively.
She said bull's eye, Keith.
I don't like that she's in my, like, don't notice me.
Stop perceiving me, Katie Miller.
I don't need that.
I do not need that.
Don't do that anymore.
Just stay over there.
Stay over there.
Or stay over here with Cash Patel.
who got emotional when talking about his relationship with his 27-year-old country music.
I'm not going to say star, but wannabe pop star music singer person.
On a personal level, of course, I wish we didn't have to deal with the attacks.
Like, she should be out there touring and crushing it on the country music stage,
as she always has been, and she shouldn't have to deal with the collateral consequence
of just being the FBI director's girlfriend.
but I think with the hyper-sensitive nature of the media,
especially the social media space,
people come at you because it takes me back to like
when I first did a investigation of consequence, you know, Benghazi or...
Not the socks.
No.
Oh, God, damn.
The stupidest people are in charge.
The stupidest fucking people.
Rush a gate or what have you.
You know, they always said it's going to be the loudest when you're over the target.
And yeah, it's been the loudest for us in recent history because she's doing amazing things.
And the FBI is doing a great job for the American.
You know, I'm just going to say this.
Like, they're acting like they're victims.
Like, there is no world in which he needed to let anyone know that he was dating her.
They chose to make it public.
You are not married.
You have no sort of like contract that is recognized by our government that says you are life partners.
you are not afforded any of the protections that typical marriage would get.
Sorry.
I don't like you could have either kept her private or you could marry her.
But she, it's like I don't feel like I don't feel bad for you at all.
And by the way, do your job.
Stop being on a podcast.
There's like a shooter at large, Cash Patel.
Bye.
