Kash Patel 'jumped the gun' with announcement of UFC plot arrests, sources say
Source: MS Now
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 Sundays 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 Patels 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.
We all woke up this morning to see this on Twitter, said one administration official, who, like others, asked to speak confidentially to discuss sensitive matters.-snip-

All a stupid set up obviously, and Patel just didn't wait for his proper cue on the script. They think running this country is a reality television show and they are just playing around.
Assholes, every last one of them.

Nice going, Kashyap.

I wonder if this investigation tainting move was on purpose.

Having a plot to attack the White House is bad enough, but then you put in that BEM and you get utter hilarity.
I hope the Secret Service starts laughing at him every time he walks by.

(8,310 posts)a drummed up story to justify a future move to harden the White House defences, and show how bigly competent Patel is?
If the story has no future updates, you will know the answer.
