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.
Nothing will happen. This is a full oligarchy. There’s the elite, and there are little people.
Huh, so a lack of planes delayed sending thoughts and prayers. Good to know.
Fucking banchode.
Is that the same FBI spokesman that laughed and ridiculed the reporter for asking if Kash as at the Olympics like an hour before the dude posted a video of himself in the locker room?
the jet couldve been used by the criminal minds team
Next admin needs to put this mf away for at least 20 years. I don’t want to see this fuck podcasting after he is done
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.
I think we can and should investigate them for foreign ties. They are all such grifters I am sure crime will be uncovered in those investigations for the majority of them.
The spirit of Joseph McCarthy must return to this great land to punish the russia-fuckers
Like Garland prosecuting J6? Like Congress prosecuting the current president?
That shit goes back to Johnson at least. Motherfucker didn’t even wait till Lincoln was in the ground before shitting all over his legacy by passing the 13th and getting Reconstruction cancelled. He may have also pardoned some of the traitors of the confederacy, but I don’t remember right now.
Just like Ford pardoned Nixon because “we need to move forward and heal, not dwell on the past.” NO MOTHERFUCKER! We need to apply the law exactly as section 1983 of the federal code was written and passed by Congress. Not the current illegal amendment to said law that exists in The Federal Register. That version got “copied word for word,” incorrectly by a single unnamed secretary in 1884. The law was passed in 1881. A single 16 word clause disappeared that translates out of legalese, “we don’t care what you wrote in state and local laws, no one has immunity from the law, not even The President, you racist and classist fucks.”
Hell, even Ulysses S. Grant referenced that law the third or fourth time he got pulled over for “speeding on a horse inside the city limits of Washington D.C.” in 1882. According to both DC police records, and The President’s personal diary, when Grant got pulled over the police officer realized WHO he pulled over and tried to let him go. Grant replied, [sic.] No Sir! The Congress just passed a law last year that says I’m not above the law, and should be restrained in my actions by the law. Issue the fine. I’ve paid it before, I shall pay it again.
I suspect it goes back to Washington, tbh, but we have such short memories and deep memory holes.
Look into history. A whole lot of what we view as “normal” for the American Democracy was defined post 1880. Owning a gun was kind of scandalous up until then. Immigration was just the norm until then. The conservatives have lied and twisted the intent of the founders in every direction they could, except for truthful.
The founders had a bunch of other issues we don’t have to deal with today. Did they do everything correctly? Hell no. If they did we wouldn’t be in this mess. They did what they could when they could, which was frequently not anywhere close to enough, but all of them are remembered because they weren’t radicals. My great-great-great-great-Grandfather was named Reverend David Rice. He owned 2/3 of the Virginia Colony, or basically most of Virginia. He sold it off to support his friends Ben, Tom, and Jim. That would be Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. He raised around 1.5 million pounds of silver, or around 7 million British Pounds at the time, and gave it to found The US Army and US Navy. No history book covers him, because if an unrepentant slaver walked on his land, he shot or hung them. He was “normal” enough to work with slavers that were abolitionists. It took a lot of internal family fighting for his father to free all of their slaves in 1730, when he was but a teen. By 1776, he chose a side and Britain could burn for all he cared. The shepards tend their communities in every age.
Owning a gun was scandalous pre 1880? The previous 80 years had been nonstop violence as people moved to carve out the western half of the country. Also as a means of providing food etc. I’m pretty sure the guns were extremely common.
If you were on the frontier it was expected. If you were trying to carry in towns or cities you’d get arrested.
It’s very much bipartisan.
As I said. The conservatives. There isn’t a non conservative party in the US, especially after the Clintons got done reforming the DNC.
You can try to “both parties the same,” this shit, but history won’t back you up. It has always been the far right pushing individual, rather than trained militia, ownership of guns, as well as pushing gun control while screaming that the more moderate conservatives were going to do what they were already doing.
Seems to be a pattern of projection there.
Lol. Gun control got pushed when the Black Panthers advocated for legal possession, afaik.
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.
The evidence response team instead had to drive through the night amid a snowstorm
That’s alright, then! It’s not like an entire night’s delay and a snowstorm would make evidence gathering any more difficult than what a prompt response would enable! 🤦
The guy is a piece of shit, sure, but how does the fucking FBI only have access to two planes?
The Behavioral Analysis Unit is always using the shit out of one of them.
Why would they have more? They’re rather expensive.
