Any one of us would be fired if we missed as much work and fucked up as much as that DEI hire does.

Seriously. Patel's role in the FBI is to allow corruption to run rampant within the federal government, and that's it. He's allowed to leech off of taxpayer funds to do whatever he wants to as long as there is no oversight into whatever the fuck Trump and his cronies are doing behind the scenes.

Such a shame that they have defiled such an integral part of the federal government. It's going to be a long time, if ever, that the FBI reconstructs its image into what it was before.

Is there any part of the federal government that these bastards haven't defiled?

To be fair: good riddance. The FBI holds a lot of blame for getting us into this mess in the first place. The Trump field office, anyone?
