Some real-life consequences when you fire competent people to hire loyalists. Has Kash seen “Death of Stalin?”
huffpost on
From reporters Brandi Buchman and Arthur Delaney:
After FBI Director Kash Patel incorrectly announced that law enforcement had caught the person responsible for assassinating right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk — a declaration that was quickly, and embarrassingly, walked back — even some of the Trump administration’s biggest cheerleaders were fed up.
The far-right criticism echoes what Democrats had said about Patel, who became a right-wing entrepreneur and podcaster after serving in the first Trump administration, back when Senate Republicans confirmed him to his position in February.
Come on now. At this rate, the shooter might start leaving Yelp reviews for the investigation.

Do they have any serious FBI folks left that know how to do the job? I assumed it was all ex-Fox News folks and far-right social media pigs that praised the orange one.

Elect clowns, get a circus.
Unless it was an inside job, which many people are saying. Then, it’s deliberate.

They said there were phrases scrawled on the gun. The fact they aren’t releasing them immediately means it’s probably not fitting their narrative.

Until we know the motive for sure (and it’s looking like maybe we never will), I’m going to assume that the person who shot him hated political violence and thought that Charlie Kirk should be killed for celebrating it

Maybe if Republicans didn’t defund the police they’d have caught the guy by now. This is what happens when you put an internet influencer in charge of the police. Doesn’t surprise me one bit.

Which surprised absolutely nobody.

I still think Trump needed an distraction from the files.

Quelle surprise. A coked out podcaster that distributes a Ka$h Patel coin to his underlings doesn’t know wtf he’s doing. I have no faith that someone this desperate isn’t going to create false narratives surrounding actual evidence.

Kash Patel is a spineless, incompetent, partisan scab.

I wouldn’t be at all suprised if it turns out the shooter is a disgruntled MAGA, upset about some fine point where Charlie disagreed with the Orange God-King.

This now seems like a conspiracy to ultimately distract from the FACT we have a pedo president and his cabinet was named by Maxwell.

2 suspects arrested and released, neither were even close to what the shooter looks like. What a joke.

I don’t think they will catch the shooter. I don’t even think they’ll try. Narrative is much more important to them than facts. Why arrest someone when you can just conjure up some armed boogeyman on the run.

What’s insane is as serious as this is, it’s small in comparison to all the other shit this idiot’s FBI is going to fuck up because all the competent people are gone.

Give them a break. FBI these days is only used to catching and abducting people of color. They are not used to white on white crime.

Donald Trump had Charlie Kirk killed.

Someone needs to make a documentary about that old guy they initially were saying they had arrested for doing it.
There’s a link about him in the article, but in summary, he’s been doing random small irritating political stunts since the 80s, and yesterday must have been the highlight of his life. A lifetime of buildup from being a minor nuisance to getting hauled away, after a major political assassination, with his pants falling around his ankles after claiming to have done it.
This guy, George Zinn, needs his story told.

Who could have guessed that this chucklefuck would bumble the investigation. Hire shit people get shit results

Trump drained the swamp and replaced it with a cesspool

This is what happens when you take a non-partisan, apolitical agency, and fire everyone who isn’t a party loyalist from a political party that is so anti-empirical they are literally firing people who present accurate statistics and replace them with party loyalist toadies willing to lie.

FBI director is actively trying to find a fall guy they can pin it on that has a democratic background

So, are we all thinking the same thing? It was a MAGA loyalist, and not at all a “leftist”?
gplusplus314 on
Tinfoil hat time: they actually know who it is, and it’s some kind of devout Trump loyalist, so they don’t want it getting out.
Not likely, but if this was a headline, I wouldn’t be surprised.

It’s not fumbling an investigation, it’s the cover-up of an inside job.
