US EditionFBI Report Slams Director Patel as 'In Over His Head'
A 115-page report by 24 current and retired agents calls Patel's leadership demoralizing and inexperienced, citing low morale and operational issues within the FBI.
- Days after publication, a leaked 115-page report by a group of 24 active-duty and retired FBI agents calls the bureau under Kash Patel, FBI Director, a `rudderless ship`.
- Agents say a lack of experience and purges, including Brian Driscoll, and mishandled Epstein files, reflect roots of distrust in Patel, as described by ALPHA 99.
- Anecdotes in the dossier include improvised SWAT patches to placate Patel, who allegedly refused to disembark an FBI jet in Provo, Utah on September 11 until given a medium raid jacket, and berated Special Agent‑in‑Charge Robert Bohls in an expletive-laden tirade.
- Later this week, lawmakers will receive the agents' 115-page assessment slated for the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, while the White House and allies denied the report with Dan Bongino calling it `gossipy nonsense` and Karoline Leavitt posting `This story is completely made up`.
- Operationally, agents warn mission briefings were `incomplete and confusing at best, chaotic at worst`, leaving some FBI personnel in `tactically unsafe positions` and reflecting an internal morale metrics described as an `80/20` skew.
