it will be interesting to count the number of days between him being fired and his most-obvious-honeypot-of-all-time gf dumping him

Maybe that's why he has FBI agents following her everywhere.

And he irked the Justice Department with his announcement that the “FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack” on Halloween, despite the fact that no charges had been filed and local police didn’t have details.

Officials at the DOJ told the White House that Patel’s early announcement had hurt the investigation, The Wall Street Journal reports, and led two friends of the suspects to move up plans to leave the country.

that was not very kash money lol

"Uhh yeah, we stopped the biggest attack ever, it would've been like, 50 9/11s, it was huge, and we stopped it. You uhh...can't see the evidence of that though, uhh...national security or something. But we totally stopped a big attack and totally are doing a really good job."

I expected him to be fired already after the Kirk fuck up. They probably decided on firing him then but wanted to wait a couple of months so it doesn't seem he was pushed by media pressure. He finessed the Epstein interviews like a Boeing after takeoff as well.
