Sometimes one need take a slight step back, using just a little bit of imagination and extrapolating to fully appreciate this kind of “messaging”: Picture if convicted felon President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel were relatively normal, well-adjusted adults and that, back in November after his win, Kash approached Trump and said something like “Congrats Mr President-Elect. Say, I’ve been talking to some people in the FBI and I’m alarmed. They’re telling me Chris Wray is basically an absentee boss and that agents are just dicking around vaping and playing video games all day in the office instead of getting work done. I think a new direction is needed and I want to be the guy to do it.”

Then about six weeks later, after Kash had some “NO VAPING” signs hung up and confiscated all the Xbox controllers, Trump asks Kash why agents are still vaping and playing video games at FBI headquarters. Would “Oh well, you know. Chris Wray left me a real mess here. He had no sense of discipline” inspire a lot of confidence in Kash’s leadership of the Federal Bureau of Investigation?

Trump should fire him then, right? Like most reasonable adults can all agree someone who claims they’re going to fix something and then turns around and simply blames their predecessor has no business remaining in that position, correct? Looking to hear from the Trump fans on this one. It’s tricky on purpose. Can any of you fucking morons ignore the impulse to start going off on a “Deep State” tangent when the actual point has nothing to do with that? Let’s see. Impress us.
