Probably sold industrial and state secrets.
That's what some people are saying.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I've heard that, too. Hell, practically everyone is saying it.
I had never heard of this dude before Trump made him FBI director but seriously, does a picture of him exist where he doesn’t have the “oh my god, I have no idea what the fuck is going on,” deer in headlights face thing happening?
I mean, I think my assessment is probably correct but it’s just incredibly improbable that in every picture he looks like he showed up to class, realized that he forgot to write the book report and the teacher is asking for people with last names starting with “P” to present to the class.
how much you want to bet that there was money involved in that Patel got some of it
Nobody ever made an honest fortune in the Emirates, Kuwait or Saudi Arabia.
So Patel and Bondi both previously worked for Qatar?
Are we going to start hearing about their bioengineering labs next?
Susan Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, worked for a lobbying firm that represented Qatar. Attorney General Pam Bondi lobbied for the Qataris. Mike Huckabee, now US Ambassador to Israel, was paid $50,000 to visit Qatar in 2018. Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, also has pocketed money from Qatar. In 2023, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund bought the Park Lane Hotel from Witkoff’s company in a $623 million deal. The Trump Organization itself recently struck a deal to develop a luxury golf resort in Qatar. And now Qatar is considering handing as a gift to Trump a jumbo airliner worth about $400 million for Trump to use as Air Force One.
If I didn't know the Republicans were such fine, upstanding, morally sound people, I'd start to suspect fuckery.
I wonder ... does a Kash Patel ever stop and wonder whether the downward spiral into racist fascism he's enabling will eat him or "his kin". Does he ever look at his senior yearbook quote "Racism is man’s gravest threat—the maximum of hatred for a minimum reason" (by Abraham Joshua Heschel), take a look around and think: what the fuck am I doing here?
I wonder ...
probably butt stuff.
I’m guessing he arranged that jet for Trump.
Was he behind the counter of the mobile McDonald’s?
