    According to the assessment, on 11 September, the day after conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Patel arrived in Provo, Utah, but refused to leave the FBI jet without an appropriate raid jacket. A described “highly respected” source in the report explained that agents working the Kirk investigation had to stop their work to find a medium-sized jacket for Patel. When a female agent’s jacket was delivered, Patel complained about missing Velcro patches on the sleeves and refused to disembark until Swat team members removed patches from their own uniforms and attached them to the borrowed jacket.

    They’re all so immature it’s almost impressive.

      Was that the appearance where they delayed the press conference, so he could stand there all pug-eyed and say nothing? Or was that the appearance where he sabotaged the entire investigation by declaring Kirk was his personal friend, and claiming they’d meet in Valhalla? It’s all a blur.

        Did that really happen? I mean yeah, of course it did, but did it?

        Edit: I’m not refuting it, I just missed it. I may have finally reached the point where I’m burnt out on US news. The strategic, overwhelming flood finally got to me.

    Working as intended. Impossible to properly investigate if you’re scared of being fired for breathing wrong.
