Expert warns 'manifestly unsuited' Kash Patel is compromising investigations
FBI Director Kash Patel is completely incapable of doing his job, former FBI agent Michael Feinberg told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday — and it's gotten to the point that his incompetence is undermining the investigations being done by career agents.This comes after reports that the U.S. Secret Service is enraged at Patel for disclosing details about a sealed investigation into an alleged plot to attack President Donald Trump's UFC event on the White House lawn."You've got ... the deputy at the Secret Service, basically accusing Kash Patel of, quote, 'choking' and saying we decided not to leak," said Wallace, who added that it sounds like the investigation into a major plot to harm the president or those around him has "been compromised at best ... I don't think it gets any more serious.""Why does Kash Patel still have a job?" asked Wallace."I think much of America wants to know the answer to that question," replied Feinberg, who continued that Patel has shown a "weird combination of malevolence and incompetence" and that he is "manifestly unsuited for the job.""He does not have the operational security discipline to realize when he should not run his mouth or post something on Twitter," said Feinberg. "When you arrest somebody under seal, there is usually a pretty good reason" — usually that reason being that there are more people to arrest and agents don't want to risk that they will "panic and flee.""But here, apparently, Kash Patel inadvertently decided to give them a heads up, and now they may be scattered to the four winds," he added.All of this comes after extensive reporting that Patel is constantly paranoid, drinking to excess, and expecting to be fired at any moment — allegations he and the FBI categorically deny. - YouTube www.youtube.com

Gavin Newsom Reveals Why Trump Is Investigating Him and His Wife
California Governor Gavin Newsom accused President Donald Trump Monday of having his family investigated by the Department of Justice. Newsom released a video statement saying he’d been added to Trump’s “hit list,” claiming that federal investigators had launched a probe into him because he was considering a presidential run in 2028.“In recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family, friends, and former employees. Not because they found a crime. Because they are simply trying to find one,” Newsom said. “They’re demanding records. They are abusing the grand jury process. Digging through years and years of random documents,” Newsom said. “Donald Trump isn’t just coming after me because of my mean tweets. He’s coming after me because I am considering running for president.”Newsom claimed that federal investigators were also investigating his wife, actress and activist Jennifer Siebel Newsom, “who has done nothing wrong, other than having the temerity to advocate for what she believes in.”There are actually several ongoing investigations related to Newsom, a source familiar with the situation told Semafor’s Shelby Talcott. The investigations reportedly involve his wife’s taxes and his chief of staff Nathan Barankin. Those did not originate from the main DOJ but stem from Sacramento, involving whistleblowers, according to the source. This revelation comes a year after Trump threatened to have Newsom arrested, amid an escalating feud about the president’s illegal deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles.Trump has bragged about his supposed “right” to weaponize the Department of Justice, and openly directed the DOJ to investigate his political enemies New York Attorney General Letitia James, Senator Adam Schiff, and former FBI Director James Comey. All of those cases crashed and burned. Trump had also been investigating former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, although he dropped the case in order to get Powell’s replacement approved by the Senate. It’s not clear that the administration won’t resume targeting Powell.And just a week ago, Vice President JD Vance referred Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to the DOJ for a criminal investigation into allegations of fraud.This story has been updated.
