Kash Patel has completely botched the Nancy Guthrie case and this is why...

[PeaceWave]

This morning, we finally get video of Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper. This comes TEN DAYS after she was kidnapped. And, we're told that this is "residual data" located in the back end of the Ring camera system. I'm calling BULLSHIT. I have a competing camera system. I have, from time to time, allowed my subscription to briefly lapse. When I have renewed my subscription, several days worth of prior video have instantly been made available to me. The fact of the matter is that these camera systems are ALL taping everything - regardless of whether or not you pay your subscription. As long as it's plugged in and connected to a functioning router and modem, it's transmitting data. As a result, the video we're all now seeing was almost certainly available to the FBI for several days now. Law enforcement in this case appears to have been more concerned with the public knowing the extent to which we are all surveilling each other with our camera systems than they were with providing information to the public that might allow them to assist in finding the perpetrator in this case. Personally, I was already disturbed by how this case was being handled. Now, I'm just downright pissed.

1. The kidnappers are pardoned J6ers, probably.

Had to make sure they weren't, at least, probably.

2. Patel has to hope his family turns them in

It's his goto move.

3. She's not a MAGAT

This is to be expected.

Even better for them because she's a journalist.

4. Cut the crap. She is an 84 year old mother and grandmother.

6. I'm not sure the current FBI has any humanity. Apparently they're not good at investigating either.

7. Who knows the degree of professionalism at the FBI right now...Has it gone the way of ICE?

[Walleye]

9. It's bad, because we have no way of reliably finding out

11. I think they're losing a lot of the smarter folks

From what I’ve heard, morale isn’t very good. They have a lot of decent and dedicated public servants working there. Of law enforcement agencies, their hiring standards and education requirements were typically higher than others (like say DHS/ICE), but I’ve also heard they have been lowered.

Of course, it all comes down to leadership. Considering the clown running it, none of it is surprising. Patel and bongino have done a lot of damage to the agency.

19. They're doing a lot of backpedaling on how this video was "recovered." A Keystone Cops show at the FBI.

8. I was referring to the daughter

And take your attitude elsewhere.

See ya

[wolfie001]

17. Yes

Agree with you. Uncalled for

20. Thanks

10. Why are you being so snarky???

The poster didn't say anything bad.

5. Well, electrons don't move that fast

12. Neither does Patel apparently.

13. Kash Patel...

... is a bug-eyed midget shitweasel more concerned with looking like the Big Boss (remember the jacket incident?) than actually doing his goddamned job. He's in WAY over his head, and everyone around him knows it, but, just like Trump, he tries to bullshit his way through it all because he's so weak of character, but, in the end, he only makes everything worse as a result.

14. Quick - somebody get Kash an official FBI Jacket (women sizes fit better)!!!

He needs it to do his FBI-ing.

15. The kidnapper on thd video looks indistinguishable from an ICE agent.

As long as ICE agents look like (and act like) kidnappers, DHS should not get a penny.

[no_hypocrisy]

16. If it were any more incompetent, I'd say the "investigation" was deliberate.

It's unfathomable that the remaining career agents haven't been able to take control.

[calimary]

18. Kash Patel would botch up a dish-drying.

I’d hope it’s a plastic dish, so it wouldn’t break when he drops it.
