A progressive analyst ripped FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday after a 115-page report outlining several “red flags” at his agency was released.
Progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen said in a new YouTube video on Monday night that Patel’s FBI appears to be run more like a content creation studio than a premier law enforcement agency. He cited a report that was first reported on by The New York Post that described the FBI as a “rudderless ship.”
The report cited examples such as Patel not having the right size raid jacket to depart a plane following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, his “expletive-laden” criticisms of agents, and ordering agents to get polygraphs to find out who had criticized him.
Cohen added that it appeared the FBI was more interested in protecting Patel’s image than conducting law enforcement activities.
“That’s not leadership,” Cohen said. “That is influencer culture masquerading as federal law enforcement.”
“But here’s the thing, the FBI is not a content creation studio,” he continued. “It’s not a platform for Cash Patel to build his brand. It is the nation’s premier law enforcement agency tasked with protecting Americans from terrorism, espionage, and violent crimes. And when the director of the FBI is more concerned with getting the perfect shot for his next post than with actually doing the job, then it’s the entire country that suffers the consequences of that.”
Cohen also noted that it was suspicious that someone inside the administration leaked the report to a Trump-friendly outlet like The New York Post.
“The fact that it was leaked to her specifically suggests that even Trump friendly sources want this information out there,” Cohen said. “They want Donald Trump to see it. They want the public to see it because the FBI under Patel’s leadership has become such a disaster that even people who want him to succeed are waving red flags.”
