Summary
New FBI Director Kash Patel, a Trump ally with no FBI experience, has made unusual security requests, showing distrust of his own agency.
He asked for a private security detail instead of FBI protection and sought a direct secure line to the Oval Office, bypassing the attorney general.
FBI directors since J. Edgar Hoover have maintained independence from the White House, but Patel is closely aligned with Trump.
Known for promoting conspiracy theories, he has also been accused of leading an FBI purge.
The FBI dismissed reports on his requests as “false leaks or distractions.”
Please stop harassing this person so I don’t have to ban you. Plenty of us find this SovCit-level nonsense annoying, but the thing to do is block them, not continually harass them.
Relatedly, we get a lot of reports against you, which is a pain in our asses. Please make our jobs easier and work on your bedside manner.
Blaming the other person is not the way to go. We are each responsible for our own actions.
As been mentioned to you before, feel free to block me, or even better, respond to the subject matter being discussed directly.
We all have to be civil here, especially if we want Lemmy to grow.
