BREAKING: FBI Director accused of BLOWING UP a sealed terror probe with one reckless social media post.
Kash Patel just may have SABOTAGED an active counterterrorism investigation into a drone plot against the White House — because he couldn't resist posting about it on social media first.
According to MS Now's Ken Dilanian, Secret Service officials are FURIOUS that the FBI director prematurely announced details of a SEALED, ONGOING criminal investigation into a plot to attack this weekend's UFC event with drones — and possibly snipers — on the White House South Lawn.
Here's why this is so dangerous: at the time Patel ran to social media to brag, the case was sealed in court and roughly TEN suspects had NOT yet been arrested. The Secret Service and FBI had been working the case together, and had planned to make more arrests, unseal the case later that afternoon, and issue a JOINT statement.
Patel torched all of it for a Twitter post.
"We all woke up this morning to see this on Twitter," one stunned administration official said.
The plot was uncovered when a relative of one suspect contacted Cincinnati-area police, reporting their family member was talking about a vague plot in DC. A Secret Service threat team, with FBI help, subpoenaed an encrypted Signal chat and identified the conspirators discussing drones and snipers. One suspect was arrested June 13th, and the case was IMMEDIATELY sealed so investigators could find and arrest the others.
Then Patel blew the operation wide open.
Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn called Patel out at a Tuesday news conference — pointedly without naming him: "I learned early in my career a phrase: 'Don't choke on your own smoke.'" Quinn emphasized the Secret Service "led that investigation from the beginning" and that they "chose NOT to leak it" to protect the investigation's integrity.
In other words, the FBI director endangered a terror probe and roughly ten un-arrested suspects to feed his own ego.
This is the same Patel accused of running a secret FBI slush fund to pay bonuses to MAGA loyalists, partying at the Olympics, and snorkeling over war graves. And now he can't keep a sealed terror case off Twitter.
The man is a danger to national security — all because of an overly inflated ego (to match his boss’s) and a disturbing lack of maturity and competence.
Please like and share if you think the FBI needs a new director with some actual law enforcement experience!
It’s been nearly two years since Trump’s Butler shooting, and he barely mentions it anymore after weaponizing it to win the election.
HE PERSONALLY SHUT DOWN THE INVESTIGATION.
Drop a like if you think it was completely staged! 🕵️♂️

He's a nasty piece of work.
🚨This is one of the most disturbing ICE brutality videos I’ve seen in a long time…
Another angle of this incident shows ICE agents suddenly rushing protesters outside the Newark ICE Facility, then continuously shoving U.S. citizens toward the wheels of a MOVING TRUCK…
until an activist’s LEG is run over.
And the most disturbing part?
The protesters are not charging the agents… The agents are the ones creating the escalation.
And not only that, they are forcing civilians backward toward a MOVING VEHICLE, escalating a situation that was not violent until THEY made it violent.
That is reckless, dangerous force.
So, let’s go over the obvious constitutional violations happening in this video…
1. First Amendment violations, because Americans have the constitutional right to peacefully protest the government.
2. Fourth Amendment violations, because federal agents cannot use excessive or objectively unreasonable force against nonviolent civilians.
3. Fifth Amendment due process concerns, because the government cannot arbitrarily target, intimidate, or assault citizens exercising protected rights.
4. Federal officers can also face liability under 18 U.S. Code § 242 for depriving people of constitutional rights “under color of law.”
When armed federal agents create chaos themselves, then use that chaos to justify violence against civilians, that is an abuse of power.
Call your representatives.
Demand accountability.
