FBI Director Kash Patel vowed to launch a manhunt for the shooter who wounded two National Guard members near the White House on Wednesday—only for an official to point out that a suspect is already in custody at a hospital.

The embattled FBI director, 45, found himself embarrassingly out of the loop during a news conference on the “targeted” shooting, which has left two guardsmen in critical condition.

“As you can see behind me, we have assembled the full force of both the federal and state and local law enforcement agencies to bring bare all of our resources to make sure we find the perpetrators responsible for this heinous act,” Patel declared. “And make no mistake, they will be brought to justice.” Patel said the FBI would “lead out on that mission” with interagency partners before adding: “We will short-change the American public with no resources to make sure we find and safeguard our nation’s capital right here in Washington, D.C., and bring anyone responsible for this heinous act of violence to justice.”

Next to speak was Metropolitan Police Executive Assistant Chief Jeffery Carroll, who noted that the suspect had been taken into custody at the scene of the shooting.

1. I think Kash better start

updating his resume. Trump doesn't like being embarrassed in public....well, by people other than himself that is.

[Turbineguy]

2. Let's hope the shooter left a trail of breadcrumbs.

[KS Toronado]

21. He's not smart enough to follow that type of trail

have to spray paint arrows on the ground, and he might not even get those.

[pfitz59]

3. He had to get the 'tough guy' spiel out in front

for the Fox News bite. Truth be damned.

4. One of the funniest lines in the Reich-wing repertoire...

“And make no mistake, they will be brought to justice.” - The most beclowned FBI director ever, Kashyap Patel.

Said the day after a Georgia Republican dropped a massive case of voter fraud, for which several had pleaded guilty; and a couple days after the DoJ put the hammer on Colorado to do the same with a convicted felon who also tried to overturn the results of an election.

[William Seger]

6. Republican Legal Theory: Laws are intended to protect the public from bad people, not Republicans

[not fooled]

5. Yes, but did Keystone Kops Kashyap know which floor

of the hospital...he will track it down.

Oh, and one wonders whether the 1,000 FBI agents diverted to scrub the Epstein files of his best friend's name might have been put to better use investigating potential threats such as the shooter, especially if he left any online trail of his intentions.

24. GOOD POINT (s)

not fooled! Read where "we" paid 1M for the FBI to scrub those files

[ChicagoTeamster]

7. He looks like he's on anti psychotic drugs all of the time with his bulging eyes

[thought crime]

19. Well, now we know...

[Gimpyknee]

8. What a clown.

[ColoringFool]

9. Are The "Wounded" Not Deceased?

[twodogsbarking]

10. I hope he is out driving around looking for the shooter and gets abducted by ICE and sent to Antartica.

Think happy thoughts.

[Initech]

11. To the podcast dude bro mobile!!

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

12. Too bad OJ is dead, Patel could team up with him to find the Brown/Goldman killer.

[Fil1957]

13. Glad he's tracking him down...

[HubertHeaver]

14. I thought this article was from The Onion.

[Skittles]

26. indeed

[LiberalArkie]

15. Too busy on his social life to do what he is paid to do.

God, I have had so many co-workers like that.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

16. Kash Patel vows to capture the suspect. (Who was already in custody.)

17. Keystone Kash is the perfect nickname

Fumbling, bumbling clueless. Running in every direction, unable to find his own ass with both hands

[MyOwnPeace]

18. Saturday Night Live........

couldn’t make up shit this good!
OH MY GAWD - what ‘Only The Best’ delivers!

[thought crime]

20. Kash Patel has joined the ranks of Baghdad Bob and Lawrence Kudlow

He has fully defined himself as an object of ridicule and nothing else, for the rest of his life.

[GreenWave]

22. Do they drug test his cabinet?

[twodogsbarking]

23. Should we tell him?

[Uncle Joe]

25. Well in Patel's defense, some hospitals are huge and they're alike a maze.

Thanks for the thread BumRushDaShow

[Marcuse]

27. Kash is still looking for the black trans socialist gay suspect.

[LudwigPastorius]

28. Another Trump appointee who is an incompetent buffoon.

...or, to avoid redundancy, I should just say 'another Trump appointee'.
