Summary

FBI Director Kash Patel, appointed by Donald Trump despite lacking law enforcement experience, has frustrated current and former FBI and DOJ officials with what they see as a lack of seriousness and professionalism.

Patel skipped or scaled back key briefings and ended routine field office meetings, citing leaks.

Critics cite a leadership void, public relations stunts, and excessive travel including multiple trips unrelated to work.

Patel also briefly led the ATF but was quietly replaced after being absent.

      I would but I’ve never heard of either of those sources. Do you have any reputable sources? I would love to have some ammo to use against some MAGA relatives.

        The first one is a newspaper in San Diego I believe the author linked the academic sources in the article, and the last link is a non profit foundation that was set up by a cybersecurity veteran, a data analyst, and a third academic. I don’t know how to give you better sources than that.

        MSM isn’t going to breathe a word of this. They’ll get taken off the air.
