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.”

“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-

Blabber mouth spoiled it

3. "The investigation into a group of individuals discussing plans for a drone attack at the White House..."

These "discussions" were probably started on some online chat group by FBI agents pretending to be Antifa radicals.

4. FFS

Suspects had not yet been arrested.

Well… if this were a thing… 🙄They’re for sure in the wind now.

6. Just like when he announced the FBI arrested the Charlie Kirk shooter, we found out later that wasn't true

7. Doesn't he always do that?

8. False flags are seen more often in D.C. these days than the red, white and blue.

9. Oh, good fucking grief!

They had to have something happen so that they can now justify the ballroom, their own drones on the roof of the White House, etc.

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.

10. It is so past time for Ka$h's resignation

He just adds more and more stink with time

11. Big shock!

12. Kashie's got to toot his own horn because nobody else will.

[orangecrush]

13. You don't say

[leftyladyfrommo]

14. Nobody believes anything that comes out of government

or the White House anymore. You can't depend on a word they say.

15. He's such an idiot...

[KPN]

16. Probably 10 junior high kids fantasizing epic

heroism on behalf mankind. Kash Patelian in a way. …. Man is that guy s nitwit.

[Dr. T]

17. Another fake assassination attempt?

Track record says "yes".

[NBachers]

18. It's not "Jumping the gun," it's "Couldn't wait to Jump out and wag his weenie!" (what little there is of it)

I'm sitting here and laughing my ass off. I hope that doesn't instigate some great big Agency Task Force!

19. Patel is an inept showboater prematurely taking credit for an operation he knew very little about.

Not going to win many fans in the Secret Service or even the FBI.

[Renew Deal]

21. The incompetence is what he was hired for

[Renew Deal]

20. How does he still have a job?

[JohnnyRingo]

22. The FBI leaked the plot, the SS leaked the details and how surprised they were..

I'll bet it wasn't a credible threat anyway. Probably just some burn outs on FaceBook talking about their fantasy..

[sheshe2]

23. Charlie Kirk and now this.

Good old Kash another premature ejaculation.

[LudwigPastorius]

24. "10 suspects had not yet been arrested"

If this is not some kind of Trumped-up action against people who may have said something on social media that The Administration doesn't like, and they are really potential assassins, then they are "in the wind" now.

Nice going, Kashyap.

[SouthBayDem]

25. Considering how right coded the suspects were

with the usual talking points such as Epstein, disliking government, everything is broken...

I wonder if this investigation tainting move was on purpose.

[Blue Owl]

26. Kashyap can't control his fat yap

27. Please forgive my crudeness in replying to this topic.

But, that shit is funny as hell.

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.
