FBI Director Kash Patel is completely incapable of doing his job, former FBI agent Michael Feinberg told MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday — and it’s gotten to the point that his incompetence is undermining the investigations being done by career agents.
This comes after reports that the U.S. Secret Service is enraged at Patel for disclosing details about a sealed investigation into an alleged plot to attack President Donald Trump’s UFC event on the White House lawn.
“You’ve got … the deputy at the Secret Service, basically accusing Kash Patel of, quote, ‘choking’ and saying we decided not to leak,” said Wallace, who added that it sounds like the investigation into a major plot to harm the president or those around him has “been compromised at best … I don’t think it gets any more serious.”
“Why does Kash Patel still have a job?” asked Wallace.
“I think much of America wants to know the answer to that question,” replied Feinberg, who continued that Patel has shown a “weird combination of malevolence and incompetence” and that he is “manifestly unsuited for the job.”
“He does not have the operational security discipline to realize when he should not run his mouth or post something on Twitter,” said Feinberg. “When you arrest somebody under seal, there is usually a pretty good reason” — usually that reason being that there are more people to arrest and agents don’t want to risk that they will “panic and flee.”
“But here, apparently, Kash Patel inadvertently decided to give them a heads up, and now they may be scattered to the four winds,” he added.
All of this comes after extensive reporting that Patel is constantly paranoid, drinking to excess, and expecting to be fired at any moment — allegations he and the FBI categorically deny.
