The Atlantic came out with a big, juicy exposé of Kash Patel’s unfitness Friday evening. The good news is that according to the article, senior members of the Trump administration “are already discussing who might replace him.” The bad news is that this drunkard and incompetent nincompoop is still on the job – when he bothers to show up. “He is erratic, suspicious of others, and prone to jumping to conclusions before he has necessary evidence, according to the more than two dozen people I have interviewed about Patel’s conduct, including current and former FBI officials, staff at law-enforcement and intelligence agencies, hospitality-industry workers, members of Congress, political operatives, lobbyists, and former advisers,” author Sarah Fitzpatrick wrote.
“They described Patel’s tenure as a management failure and his personal behavior as a national-security vulnerability. “Several officials told me that Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government,” Fitzpatrick reported. “They said he is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication, in many cases at the private club Ned’s in Washington, D.C., while in the presence of White House and other administration staff. He is also known to drink to excess at the Poodle Room in Las Vegas, where he frequently spends parts of his weekends.”read more
