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.
