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.

    Then you literally can’t start with Washington, as he was a vocal no party candidate, and the last thing he said as the POTUS was, “I sincerely hope and pray that The United States never engages in partisan politics, for if we do it will lead to the downfall of this potentially great democracy.”

      Ah, Jefferson the slave owner who regularly raped his houseslave? Madison? I’m not sure who you think you’re educating, or what Whitewashed history you’d have me read, but please, do continue. 😂

        Yes, show your historical ignorance by framing people with your current understanding of morality. Jefferson was an abolishonist, or my ancestor would have lynched or shot him. Madison as well. Same for Washington, as I understand, though he never actually met my ancestor.

        Try reading and understanding history. You are just showing that you are an uneducated reactionary authoritarian.

            Non-sequiter. You have no arguments, just like the southern states. Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina are why we started the union as slave states, by only a single vote. The same states rejected the policies that the first 5 presidents and all northern senators supported that would have made this country the first democratic socialist country on earth in 1808.

            Learn your history, or bless your heart, sweetie.

              God forbid people have jobs and try to relax before the next shift. There are reading lists that address all of this in places you disdain, with Western sources. But I have work in a few hours and despite your confidently condescending attitude, you deserve answers, if you’re willing to accept another perspective, it will just have to wait until I have proper time to dig up resources and get them to you. But I’m not too inclined to waste my precious time on someone who’s convinced their narrative is the only possibility.
