Super-duper. Taxpayers are "protecting" Patel's girlfriend, and now we're paying for the FBI to give her friends rides

[Miles Archer]

Pretty cool that the only prerequisites for getting a full security detail at taxpayers' expense is "I bone Kash Patel." And NOW, if you're one of her friends, why call UBER when the FBI will safely escort you home?

And yes, I know that Patel blowing through ass-loads of taxpayer dollars isn't the worst thing he's engaged in. But if you ever become self-employed, as I did in 1999, you will be acutely aware of how and where the government is spending the money YOU pay in taxes.

Kash Patel ordered FBI detail to give girlfriend’s pal a lift home: sources
The FBI director’s use of resources is under intense scrutiny as he insists he’s “a steward of the taxpayer dollars.”

FBI Director Kash Patel has — on more than one occasion — ordered that the security detail protecting his girlfriend escort one of her allegedly inebriated friends home after a night of partying in Nashville, according to three people with knowledge of the incidents.

Patel’s girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, asked FBI agents on her security team at least two times, including once this spring, to drive her friend home, and agents objected to diverting from their assignment, said the sources, who were granted anonymity to discuss nonpublic matters. But Patel insisted they do as Wilkins requested and in one case called the leader of Wilkins’ security detail and yelled at him to do so.

News of the effort to deploy agents to provide security for a private citizen has spread through the bureau and beyond, as agents have grown increasingly concerned by Patel’s use of the bureau’s strapped resources, the people said.

FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson broadly disputed that such events took place. “This is made up and did not happen,” Williamson said.

2. Money is no object as they live in the lap of luxury.

All tax payer funded as they cut our healthcare, education, science, etc.

And we are making hard decisions every time we shop.

3. The responses from Trump, Patel, and the rest of the goons is basically entitlement and righteous indignation

The "FORMULA" is not complex in the least. We really are in the "LET THEM EAT CAKE" stage of the Trump Oligarchy.

Patel "lashed out" about his use of the FBI jet for fun and frolic, saying something like "I'm entitled to have a life."

And yes, I know that the FBI director is not allowed to fly on commercial planes.

It's about the life everyday Americans are expected to live...skyrocketing grocery costs, healthcare hell, all of this while Trump throws "Great Gatsby Parties" at Mar-a-Lago and Patel takes the FBI jet to go make the beast with two backs with his girlfriend.

4. He is not allowed to live a life of luxury wild abandon on the taxpayer dime.

Yes they are so entitled and self centered.

While the rest of us still pay taxes for diminishing services.

5. They act like they are 18th century monarchs

Nothing too good for the king and his family

6. If I were Ka$h, I would not be so eager for my cutie-pie girlfriend to be surrounded by manly SWAT agents,

especially since her and her friends are apparently getting so hammered they can't make it home safely on their own.

Liquor, partying, barhopping, virile cops, and cute young women?

Sounds like a relationship disaster in the making.
