Is Kash getting fired?

Fox reports that Kash Patel may be fired soon: “On Monday, former Missouri AG Andrew Bailey will be sworn into a new power-sharing role with Dan Bongino. Bailey’s installment comes at a perilous time for Patel, whose leadership atop the nation’s premier law enforcement agency is under fire, according to 10 sources. The WH’s reasoning to create an unprecedented office for Bailey has not been explained and left FBI leadership confused.”

One source with knowledge of ongoing personnel decisions: "The WH, Bondi, Blanche have no confidence in Kash. Pam in particular cannot stand him. Blanche either.”

“Allies of President Trump and Patel’s harshest critics have begun to circulate word that contingency plans for Patel’s ouster are forming. They also claim his hopeful successor, Andrew Bailey, made clear that he would not leave his post as Missouri’s AG – or abandon his aspirations to run for state governor – only to serve as Patel’s number two. Bailey, who starts at the Bureau on Sept 15th, would be eligible to fill the FBI Director post after he has been employed by the FBI for at least 90 days.”

If it's reported on Fox...

Kash is probably going to get an ambassadorship to somewhere obscure.

“Multiple sources close to Trump acknowledged the president was not thrilled with some past episodes of Patel’s performance – including a public feud with AG Bondi over the admin’s handling of the Epstein case. One senior WH official also framed Patel’s botched communications during the manhunt for Charlie Kirk’s assassin as something Patel likely wished he could do differently, if he could do it all over again.

[...]

Patel was on Fox & Friends this morning trying to defend his erratic behavior during the Kirk investigation: Q - “When you were still looking for the guy you posted ‘we got him’. That ended up not being true. Patel: Could I have worded it a little better in the heat of the moment? Sure.”

I don't know what other words would work for "we got him." Also, should the FBI director be saying or doing anything "in the heat of the moment?"

Jim Jordan’s House Judiciary Committee announced today that it will hold an FBI oversight hearing on Wednesday morning where Kash Patel will testify. Should be interesting.

UPDATE 11:03 am:

 Kash doesn't think he should be questioned.

The question is whether they have any integrity.

Investigating at the behest of the president. Exactly what the FBI is not supposed to be doing.

Thanks, Corey, you just saved his job.

UPDATE 07:33 pm:

Schiff should have shut up earlier and let Patel carry on by himself, instead of joining in the shouting over each other.

UPDATE 09/18/2025:

And here, Republican Thomas Massie shows Patel's insistence the Epstein files do not include other men to whom Epstein trafficked young girls.  Massie has good questions that Patel circumvents as best he can.

In case you don't want to watch these videos in their entirety, here we find out just what Trump doesn't want revealed.  (One of the things.)  Surely someone will make us an AI image depicting these incidents that we can all point and laugh at.
