Kash Patel Is Rigging The FBI Most Wanted List To Save His Job
FBI Director Kash Patel is trying to save his job by double-counting FBI arrests and rigging the famous 10 Most Wanted list.
FBI Director Kash Patel has been having a hard time of it lately. From multiple reports of Patel having a drinking problem. Patel had a disastrous session in front of Congress, where he was asked more questions about his alleged drinking.
White House insiders have been suggesting to the press that it is a matter of if, not when, Patel is shown the door and loses his job as FBI Director.
It appears that Patel wants to keep his job, but instead of working hard and doing a great job for the American people, the current FBI Director has reportedly decided to take a page from his boss and cook the books.

But Patel’s FBI has imposed new policies that inflate these numbers and overstate the bureau’s progress in stemming crime, according to a half dozen law enforcement sources with knowledge of the changes.
For example, the FBI began counting thousands of arrests of immigrants that occurred when bureau agents accompanied the federal immigration officers who made the arrests as part of surges targeting the Minneapolis area, Memphis and other cities. Such cases are not ones the bureau had previously recorded as a bureau arrest, the people said.
An MS NOW review of changes in the FBI’s Most Wanted list during Patel’s tenure also found that the FBI manipulated that iconic bureau program to falsely suggest rapid progress; in that time, the bureau quickly added the names of some fugitives just hours or days before agents capture them.
There is a bigger question about what can be trusted from the Trump administration that the Patel story raises.
