It sounds like the sheriff overruled the FBI in the link I provided, at least on one occasion.
I see he is sending DNA samples to a private lab and not giving them to the FBI.
Hey Patel, send those 2,000 FBI agents you sent to Minneapolis to Tucson, give them some real work to do. Send some of the agents scrubbing Trump's name from the Epstein files too.

(129,836 posts)Under Kash Patel the FBI has proved itself to be as useless as a marzipan dildo. All Patel has done so far in that case was announce with great fanfare that they had detained a "person of interest" - who turned out to be some poor schmo who was delivering for Door Dash.

(24,671 posts)I wouldnt trust the FBI right now. I know there are ethical people remaining in the bureau but their wings are most likely clipped with Patel running the show. Good agents are probably just trying to keep their heads down to survive this.

(195,662 posts)which means in their little world someone realized that this guy has in some way angered Kash so their influencers were directed to attack him. That sets up blaming him and not Kash if this goes wrong. He *GASP* went to a basketball game.
Apparently Fox News viewers are having a bit of a revolt because its non stop coverage of Guthrie there. It distracts from Pamela Jos Mean Girls act and ICEs violent failure in Minneapolis.

(31,701 posts)I did a thread asking if the kidnapper was a moron or a genius?
I mean he tries to cover up doorbell camera with flowers from the garden, maybe leaves his gloves to be later found.
Then I hear that the ransom note was so sophistical that it was impossible to trace.
Was there one person doing the kidnapping and another doing the ransom?
I keep waiting for the FBI to say they enhanced the video and found an Antifa sticker and Kamala 2024 sticker on his backpack.
Or they X-rayed his jacket and found a drug cartel tattoo.
If this guy was a Magat we will never know about it.

Ex-FBI official slams Kash Patelâs âinappropriateâ behavior in Nancy Guthrie investigation

During a Tuesday appearance on Fox News, Patel told host Sean Hannity that substantial progress had been made in the probe and authorities had identified persons of interest in connection with the 84-year-olds apparent abduction.
However, shortly after his interview, a man detained by authorities for questioning over Guthries disappearance was released from custody.
On Wednesdays All In with Chris Hayes, MS NOW national security intelligence analyst Christopher OLeary, who served as a senior executive at the FBIs counterterrorism division, called Patels comments on the investigation incredibly inappropriate.
Hes going back to the one skill that he thinks he has, which is self-promoting: diving into the media, diving into social media to compensate for his complete ineptitude at being the director of the FBI, which should not surprise anybody, OLeary said. He has no leadership experience, no operational experience, no investigative experience.
The former FBI official told Hayes that Patels judgment is certainly flawed and his character and integrity and virtue are absent, adding that he believes the director has no loyalty to the Constitution or to the American public or to the mission of the FBI and its people.
