Agents with the FBI’s elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown University in December because there was no FBI plane available to take them to Rhode Island, according to three sources and a whistleblower’s account newly provided to Congress.
FBI Director Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI’s two available jets and had given an order to hold the other for another team that would not normally respond to the scene, according to the whistleblower and the sources. The evidence response team instead had to drive through the night amid a snowstorm to reach the university in Providence, Rhode Island, by 9 o’clock the next morning, according to the whistleblower’s account…
An FBI spokesperson told MS NOW Tuesday he disputed the allegation that there were delays because of the director’s travels but said he would check into the matter more deeply to gather information.
Couldn’t they have flown commercial?
Couldn’t they have not gone at all?
Couldn’t they have been tried and sentenced?
Couldn’t they have left a suicide note detailing the crimes of the rest of the administration?
Couldn’t we sail into the stars, boldly going where no human has gone before, leaving earth and its petty tyrants behind?
Okay but if you find a ghost ship trapped in orbit around Neptune called the Event Horizon DO NOT GO INSIDE!
Wait I was boarding the Event Horizon while you typed that, do what now?
Couldn’t they have had a V8?
No, I meant the investigators. You can’t expect someone of Kash Patel’s lofty stature to wait in an airport with commoners.
But why did the investigators have to drive the whole way?
depending on the severity of the weather, its quite possible commercial flights were delayed anyway.
I suppose, but if the weather was that bad the lack of a plane wouldnt matter.
well, not exactly. weather can be bad enough to ground commercial flights. but private, federal jets, with a qualified pilot, whose probably ex air force anyway, could. commercial flights take way more precautions in weather due to liabilities. so yeah, this seems like a pretty big fuck up.
