The FBI was forced to clarify its role investigating Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) sudden death after its director took to social media and made what critics called a “reckless” boast.

Even as MAGA influencers peddled baseless claims that Graham was killed in a secret Russian plot, Kash Patel informed his followers on X that the FBI was assisting local authorities — and drew immediate criticism for fanning the flames of conspiracy.

“Kash Patel is such an attention w---- and he just can’t help himself,” wrote political strategist Mike Nellis.

      Seriously, I would never work in a hospital if that were the case. Everyone would be getting questioned every single day.

        We have coroners for this. They’ll involve the police if needed.

        If American TV is to be believed, that’s what happens over there too

          Yeah, I think if it happens in a hospital they just send it to the mortician because the doctors can declare death. Coroners are more for unusual circumstances like someone dies in public or whatever. Maybe homes too.

          I could be wrong though, I’ve never died (that I can remember, at least…)
