I disagree. Nothing about this was slow at all. They wrote endlessly about how they would throw the frog into a vat of lava, dangled the frog over the lava for a good while before tossing them in.

what is he, chopped liver?

Have you seen his custom sneakers with his personal “K$H” logo, #9 for 9th FBI director and the Punisher skull? https://www.inquisitr.com/kash-patels-custom-sneakers-spark-...

He also has a custom personal challenge coin that he hands out with guns and the punisher's face which is definitely something an edgy 13 year old would think is cool: https://www.reddit.com/r/challengecointraders/comments/1pj3k...

Don't forget flying his girlfriend around on a government private jet to her concerts and sporting events! https://www.axios.com/2025/12/01/kash-patel-alexis-wilkins-f...

And having FBI SWAT security detail and transportation assigned to ferry his girlfriend around to her personal events, then siccing FBI on the reporters who broke that story: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/us/politics/fbi-times-rep...

> The F.B.I. began investigating a New York Times reporter last month after she wrote about the bureau’s director, Kash Patel, using bureau personnel to provide his girlfriend with government security and transportation, according to a person briefed on the matter.

> Agents interviewed the girlfriend, queried databases for information on the reporter, Elizabeth Williamson, and recommended moving forward to determine whether Ms. Williamson broke federal stalking laws, the person said.

> Those actions prompted concerns among some Justice Department officials who saw the inquiry as retaliation for an article that Mr. Patel and his girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, did not like, and who determined there was no legal basis to proceed with the investigation, according to the person briefed on the matter.

MSNBC is marginally center-left and they’re broadly considered to follow mainstream journalistic standards. Whether or not you personally dislike them, it’s highly unlikely that they ran a story citing sources who don’t exist and the text makes it clear that their reporting is based on that information and has not been confirmed independently.

Not to defend the FBI here, but I don't see anywhere where they described it as a leak. In fact, they're officially denying that any such investigation is taking place. It's kind of silly to jump from the article describing as a "leak investigation" to "Aha! The FBI admits it! Hoist by their own petard!"

The general message is that you should comply and stay silent or your life will be very uncomfortable. What is true or not isn't that important, only vulgar display of power is.
