Even though the headline says “Fox News” this report comes from Jacqui Heinrich, one of the small handful of serious and credible journalists at the 98 percent otherwise bullshit propaganda content mill. Heinrich reports that dipshit FBI Director Kash Patel and his top deputy Dan Bongino fear that their doom is very much imminent as on Monday extremist MAGA asshole former Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is set to be sworn in to the newly-made-up position of co-Deputy FBI director, which to K$H and Bongino like Bailey being pre-positioned to take over for them.
“The White House, Bondi, Blanche have no confidence in Kash. Pam in particular cannot stand him. Blanche either,” a source, maybe even Bailey himself, told Heinrich, who writes “But allies of President Trump and Patel’s harshest critics have begun to circulate word that contingency plans for Patel’s ouster are forming. They also claim his hopeful successor, Andrew Bailey, made clear that he would not leave his post as Missouri’s AG or abandon his aspirations to run for state governor only to serve as Patel’s number two.” Again, Bailey already left, sooo… Yeah, Kash and Bongino are toast.
Like this article might as well just be reporting that he’s done at the FBI. It even says the regime’s trying to find an “off-ramp” like some ambassadorship. “Sources close to Trump acknowledged the president was not thrilled with some past episodes of Patel’s performance – including a public feud with AG Bondi over the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case,” Heinrich writes.
Patel’s performance in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination has made things even worse, with one official going so far as to say that “letting Kash talk much could fuck up the prosecution” of leftist-ish assassin Tyler Robinson given the things the FBI director said to the press on Friday.
