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.

    Can we round up a few more of these “influencers” (some of which are probably just conservative activists being funded by the likes of Russia) while we are at it?

    I’d love to see Lil’ Alex in prison, along with that fuckface that started the Minneapolis thing and is apparently trying to start some shit in California.

    Same goes for Benny Johnson. JFC, that smug little asshole should really be in prison.
