During what his agency said was purely a business trip, FBI Director Kash Patel celebrated with the U.S. men’s hockey team in Italy on Sunday.
FBI Director Kash Patel, during what his spokesman said was an official trip to Milan for security meetings, was filmed guzzling from a beer bottle and celebrating in the locker room with U.S. Olympic hockey players Sunday after they won the gold-medal game.
Several videos emerged on social media showing Patel in the locker room after the game, but one in particular drew outrage from current and former FBI agents. It depicted Patel pouring what appeared to be beer down his throat, spraying some of it in the air and screaming in celebration as a player put a gold medal around his neck.
Eight former FBI and Justice Department officials sent MS NOW a copy of the video, which they said was drawing outrage as it rocketed around FBI and DOJ circles.
Just garden variety corruption: partying after flying over on a taxpayer-funded private plane.
Kinda like seeing ICE Barbie flying around and doing cosplay and weird videos on horses and later hearing about her 70 million dollar bang plane.
This kind of waste, fraud and abuse won’t make much of a dent in the budget and won’t really change the everyday experience for most Americans, but…still. It’s infuriating to watch. It’s almost like they are rubbing our noses in it.
That’s kinda what I’m trying to get at. Like yeah, it sucks to see, but between being worried about this v.s. an additional 10% tariff globally, one of those will impact my life much more substantially.
