FBI Director Kash Patel wrote that the drinking incidents — including an arrest for public urination — were not his usual behavior.

    This story has had so many people say, “so? It was a long time ago and everyone does it” and I just think that’s such a weird take. (Edit: not here, but on the politics comm)

    This guy’s not only the director of the FBI (oh god hangon . . *hurrph* . . ugh . .) uh, but he was just exposed as being an out-of-control drunk who’s incompetent and definitely not who you want in charge of anything; and his response was to arrogantly sue them for libel.

    This shows it’s been part of who he is for a long time. He needs to get gone. Not everyone who pissed in front of a cop has to get fired, just this guy. You realize he can have us all illegally arrested through warrantless searches within a few hours - and just might if he’s shitfaced enough - why is anyone defending him? Do we all secretly hope to be cabinet secretaries someday? It’s just weird, I don’t get it.
