Glenn Kirschner
Sep 12, 2025
Two legal developments highlight how and why Kash Patel is dangerously unfit to lead the FBI. He badly bungled the Charlie Kirk investigation, wrongly announcing that they had the shooter in custody when they didn't - they had the WRONG guy in custody. This video discusses how this horrific mistake by the Director of the FBI will give the actual gunman what's called a "third-party perpetrator" defense at trial.
In a second development, Kash Patel is being sued for unlawfully firing three of our nation's most experienced and accomplished FBI Special Agents and officials. The court filings set out that Patel said he KNEW the firings were unlawful but that he needed to fire those agents if he wanted to keep his job

(7,586 posts)6. When the G.O.P. has a 5-time draft dodger posing as their "commander-in-chief" and #1 Golf Cheat
then you have to expect he will surround himself with underlings who are unfit for duty.
As the record shows beyond dispute.

Hes only there to perform a part in MAGA land. Hes not there to do a competent job because they dont care if he does. They hate the government., he just needs to be loyal to the dear leader and not make him look bad. He will get fired if this starts to look bad for the dear leader.
