Kash Patel ‘jumped the gun’ with announcement of UFC plot arrests, sources say

Secret Service officials are angered that FBI Director Kash Patel prematurely announced on Tuesday the details of a largely sealed and ongoing criminal investigation into an alleged plot to attack Sunday’s White House UFC event with drones, according to three people familiar with the incident.
Secret Service and FBI agents had been partnered on the investigation into a group of individuals discussing plans for a drone attack at the White House in the last week, and had discussed unsealing the case and making a joint announcement Tuesday afternoon, according to sources.
The problem with Patel’s social media announcement, the sources say, was that the case had been sealed in court and roughly 10 suspects had not yet been arrested and placed in custody at the time Patel shared his post. The people said Secret Service and FBI officials were surprised by Patel “jumping the gun.”
It's all but gauranteed that undercover federal agents came up with the plan, encouraged the others to do it, supplied the cash, sourced the drones for them, then planned to arrest them for a crime they had neither knowledge, resources or ability to commit without the help of the feds.
Whoa, whoa, whoa... Slow down there, boss! You're suggesting the US gov't is setting up a false flag event via entrapment??? UnHeArD oF11!!!!111!!
Is there a list of these on Wikipedia?
This happens so much it warrants its own site
Joh Oliver had a nice piece about this
Chris Morris made his second feature film about it.
The language you used, seems like John Oliver's.
One of these days the group he thinks accepted him is going to remind him that he's brown. And, in their eyes, somehow inferior.
You mean they are racists, too? I never saw that coming.
Maybe he knows and that's part of why his face always looks like that
I mean, he is inferior, but not because of the color of his skin. He's a straight dumbass
That guy has resting “I just shit my pants” face.
He always looks like someone is slowly but steadily sliding hardboiled eggs into his ass, and he’s trying not to react.
That is no my chosen curse to wish upon folks. Experiencing that sensation constantly, and if you turn back to look you will see a ragged four armed crone with a basket of eggs and she will gaze into your eyes and show you the end of all things and you will experience a relative eternity of psychological horror until you find yourself back in that exact moment before you turned to look, feeling the cold old hands of the crone grabbing at your starfish and feeding it egg after egg after egg. You fear to look, you don’t know if others can see her going about her eggly duties. All you know is that you never want to experience what you did again. And at that moment, she stops. You feel nothing. You don’t know if she is still there, but you fear to look. After some time you wonder if she’s gone forever, you start to feel safer, and eventually chalk it up to a stress hallucination and get ready to go stand in front of congress, your case prepared, you’re ready, you get to your seat, feeling confident.
You’re asked your first question by the members in attendance, and right then, as your lips have just began to split in order to give your response, you smell sulfur and feel the cold hands of destiny at your lower back, pulling your pants down to just below your butt, and you feel the smooth, practiced motion of the crone going to work on your bike rack…
At this point I wouldn’t believe them if they had aliens beam me aboard a ship orbiting the sun.
A bug eyed alcoholic has timing issues. Who could have guessed?
We all know this is just a distraction
agreed, Patel being an idiot is pretty thin news. Smells like a distraction. Likely to do with trumps Epstein rapes and murders.
One might say he can't focus on one thing at a time.
So, again? Only the best of the bottom feeders in this admin.
There’s a good chance he was warning them.
Nah, he's just a moron that wants to claim credit for stuff he didn't even take part in. It's not the first time he does this. Kash Patel is also extremely paranoid that he's gonna get fired so he's just doing all this shit to try and prove that he's useful.
Imagine that. A fucking idiot was a fucking idiot once again.
Why use drones? What would anyone think that work work?
Allegedly the plan was to fly drones with explosives at nearby buildings, and when the audience was being kicked out of White House property they’d pick them off with snipers.
Why would it not work? Especially if they used wired comms.
Honestly it probably would have 100% worked. If anything the recent string of attempts on Trump's life show how fucking shitty the USSS is, he's only alive because the would be assassins are fucking terrible shots.
And I highly doubt anyone would be ready for 3-5 suicide drones coming in at 60+ mph into that space. Kinda shocked no one has tried yet.
No, he’s alive because most of those attempts were for show.
How this guy even has a job, even under an idiot like DonOLD, is just baffling.
How stupid are law enforcement to think Patel would handle the matter in any helpful way? Those "investigator" idiots need to be fired or given something less important to do. Frickin amateur hour over there. Of course trump political appointees would shit any bed or rape any couch that is presented to them. This cant be a legit story, no one is this stupid.
