Rumors are flying that FBI Director Kash Patel may be the next to go as President Trump cleans house before the miderm elections. The nation’s head spy has often been reported as missing in action and erratic when he does speak in public.
Reports in The Atlantic and other publications basically claim that Patel has a drinking problem, and at times, he’s asleep in his office and can’t be awakened. Famously — or perhaps infamously — he took his private, taxpayer-provided jet to the Winter Olympics, where he chugged a beer in front of the U.S. Olympic Team (pictured).
Allegations about his personal use of his official Gulfstream jet include trips to visit his girlfriend, attend wrestling matches, and travel to a Texas ranch, in addition to his highly publicized Olympics foray.
Whenever I see him speak on TV at press conferences, which isn’t all that frequent, he appears ill-informed and hardly articulate.
Most of the allegations against him, naturally, originate with left-wing organizations and media. In one instance, his security detail reportedly requested breaching equipment to break into where he was passed out from drinking. Meetings reportedly have had to be rescheduled or canceled due to his taste for suds.
Patel defended his Olympics celebration on X, writing: “I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys. Greatest country on earth and greatest sport on earth.”
His girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins (pictured at right with Patel), chalks it all up to “fake news.”
Maybe, but might she be a bit biased? Let’s see if Sir Donald makes a move like he did at Justice (though for entirely different reasons).
N.B. I’m using my childhood definition of “crash out” to mean falling asleep, usually from drinking. The modern usage refers to anger or an emotional outburst, evidently.
