J. Edgar Boozer and Mutually Assured Destruction
Zoom today, Sunday, Noon PT / 3PM ET
The Director of the FBI—and full disclosure, the plaintiff in a frivolous lawsuit against me—is a drunk, paranoid failure who is dismantling America’s premier federal law enforcement agency.
In recent reporting by the Atlantic, Patel was described by over two dozen people as frequently inebriated and often absent, including mornings when he was apparently too drunk to wake up at all. This became such an issue that Patel’s subordinates ordered breaching equipment in case the FBI Director was “unreachable” and they had to batter down his door.
On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”—normally used by SWAT and hostage-rescue teams to quickly gain entry into buildings—was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors, according to multiple people familiar with the request.
This is not new behavior. His drinking and absenteeism has apparently being going on since the first day of his tenure. Here is my favorite comment so far.
There was never any doubt about who Kash Patel would be working for—the president and his foreign handlers, not the American people. Russian state media celebrated his nomination.
But it’s important to remember why Patel was offered the job, and why Trump has so much loyalty to such a catastrophically unfit person.
Kash Patel’s last role in the government before FBI Director was Chief of Staff to Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller—who was installed after Trump decapitated the civilian leadership at the Pentagon a few days after losing the 2020 election.
On January 4th, 2021—two days before the worst attack on the Capitol since the Civil War—Patel circulated a memo that changed the chain of command for the DC National Guard to go through himself.
It was Patel’s memo which allowed him, along with Charles Flynn and others, to delay the response to rioters at the Capitol for over three hours. The cover up of this obviously pre-planned operation, and the inability of the Biden administration to prosecute anyone higher up than Proud Boys and Oathkeepers, is one of the greatest law enforcement failures in American history.
Charles Flynn now works for Palantir as a “senior consultant.”
Like many others in the Trump regime, there is a mutually assured destruction pact between Kash Patel and the president. Trump can destroy Kash Patel with a tweet and vice versa, because Patel can prove they conspired to overthrow the government together.
That’s why Patel was put in charge of the FBI—to cover up for past and future crimes. It’s why he’s been covering up the Epstein files, falsely characterized Charlie Kirk’s murderer as “Antifa,” and fired every agent who investigated January 6th. And it’s why Trump puts up with him acting like such an idiot. Patel knows everything Trump has done.
In response to the story in the Atlantic, Jesse Binnall, one of the most corrupt lawyers to ever hold a license—and the attorney in both Mike Flynn and Kash Patel’s frivolous lawsuits against me—tweeted a letter threatening to sue the journalist for defamation.
This morning, Kash Patel confirms that he will be suing the reporter—“coming tomorrow.”
FBI Directors are normally hired for ten year terms. Were he competent and sober, Kash Patel would still be in his job in 2035. But even with a pact of mutually assured destruction behind him, Kash Patel’s days are numbered. Soon, he will have much more time to spend with his legal problems.
