This Is an Obvious Political Operation by Disgruntled Current and Former FBI Officials

They did a trash hit piece on me a week ago. They’ll hit someone else
who is effective in the admin next week.

The last gasps of the degraded legacy media?

Stay frosty, my friends in the admin who are doing their jobs without regard for the peanut gallery! I see you! https://t.co/Mu3rZvQpfv

This is an obvious political operation by disgruntled current and former FBI officials.

They make no secret of that:

They serve as anonymous sources for this hit piece.

This is Exhibit A why we need Director Patel to keep cleaning house at the FBI.

Hey @S_Fitzpatrick I was Kash Patel’s Sherpa on the transition. I spent nearly all day everyday with him for 3+ months and have been with him frequently since.

I have never seen the type of behavior that you’re describing from him.

Your anon sourced story is BS.

… way, it was no pressure campaign that got Kash confirmed. He did his homework, studied every brief I wrote him (and I wrote them all personally). If I sent him material at say 2am, he would respond with questions by 3am. He was always available and never hard to reach. Ultimately, he addressed any concerns senators had. He studied the law enforcement issues in each of their states and came prepared with plans, ideas, and questions for addressing the unique law enforcement needs of each state. THAT is who Kash Patel is and it’s why the FBI has been so effective in the last year.

I’ve never once seen him over drink. Not once. You are spinning that narrative because you know POTUS doesn’t view that favorably, even admitted as much in your story.

And I’m not hard to find. Pretty obvious why you didn’t reach out to me for comment.
