White House denies report of Trump considering removing FBI director

[Zorro]

The Trump administration is denying a report from MS NOW that the president is considering removing FBI Director Kash Patel amid recent scrutiny of his use of Bureau resources.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a social media post that she read the story's headline to Trump in the Oval Office while he was meeting with Patel and the president responded: "What? That’s totally false. Come on Kash, let’s take a picture to show them you’re doing a great job!"

Leavitt posted a picture of Trump and Patel standing next to each other with their thumbs up.

MS NOW, citing three unnamed sources, reported that Trump and those around him have been concerned about reporting on Patel. An MS NOW spokesperson said in a statement after Leavitt's social media post that the news outlet "stands behind its reporting."

4. Trump

should get rid of Patel – it would be the first responsible thing Trump has done.

Of course, Trump will just appoint someone even more incompetent and corrupt as Patel.

5. Other than trump himself, I don't think it's possible

For anyone to be more corrupt and incompetent. Maybe Pam Blondie

6. Rudy Giuliani nt

7. Ok. You found one

He’s dumber than dryer lint, more incompetent than any sitcom dad. And he’s undead. Or at least looks it

8. America's Mayor!

Mr. 9/11 himself

New York's favorite fascist. For a treat, look up a youtube video of Rudy Giuliani receiving some warm receptions in NYC.

He does look undead. Very nosferatu / ghoul vibes. He and Stephen Miller in the Oval Office might achieve a critical mass of necromantic energy. Enough to keep Mitch McConnell alive for 6 more weeks.

9. I think it's more like Offal Office

If you wanted my thoughts.
