After a boozy weekend that has been widely ridiculed across major TV networks and online, the FBI’s director, Kash Patel, has been issued another blow for partying with Team USA

Kahs Patel probably had hangxiety from hell following his antics with Team USA following their triumph at the Winter Olympics.
During an appearance on CNN, the former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe savaged the now FBI Director for traveling to the Olympics on the bureau’s jet and downing beer with the U.S. men’s hockey team.
After Team U.S.A. defeated Canada 2-1 in the gold medal game in Milan on Sunday, February 22, Patel celebrated their win by guzzling beer with the players in their locker room. Clips of the moment went viral on social media one day after FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson slammed NBC’s Ken Dilanian for reporting that Patel had flown to the Olympics on the taxpayers’ dime and denied the report was true, which it was.

The FBI has since insisted that Patel was attending security meetings in Milan. However, on Monday’s edition of The Lead on CNN, Jake Tapper said he knows for a fact “that Republicans on Capitol Hill are embarrassed about this,” and then asked his guest McCabe if he found Patel’s behavior “appropriate.”
“I mean, the video is ridiculous, and it was completely inappropriate for him to be engaging, to go at all,” McCabe funed, adding, “Let’s be honest. The excuse that he had to go for security meetings the day before the games are over is patently ridiculous.
“[Former FBI] Director [Robert] Mueller once traveled to Greece to consult with partners on the security arrangements for the Greek Olympics eight months before the games began.”
“That’s when the sort of details and arrangements are made that an FBI director needs to weigh in on to make sure that others understand the role of the bureau and those sorts of things. It’s not the day of the final hockey game,” he added.
McCabe went on to say Patel had sent a “horrible message to the FBI rank and file,” especially amid the FBI’s ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, as well as a potential bombing campaign against Iran.
“Now, I can tell you from having been in that position before, when you are on the brink of hostilities with a country that is a sponsor of terrorism, the FBI is right now using a microscope – or they should be – to go through all of their records to find Iranian sleeper agents in the United States,” McCabe then blasted.
“It’s impossible to imagine the former FBI director, Chris Wray, ever doing something like this, even though he was forced out by Trump,” Tapper responded.
The CNN exchange has since made the rounds on social media, prompting users to also share their opinion on the saga. One person fumed, “Kash Patel’s Olympic trip isn’t just a vacation—it’s a statement of arrogance. Former FBI Deputy McCabe calls it “ridiculous and inappropriate,” sending a devastating message to the FBI and the nation. Power without accountability is dangerous.”
A second user slammed, “Kash Patel is an unserious clown!!! FFS we are on the verge of war with Iran. He should be focused on surveillance of Iranian backed terror cells within the United States.”
“Very unprofessional. The whole administration is filled with Amateurs,” someone else added, prompting a fourth to chime in, “At this point, I would trust the actors on the FBI TV show before I would trust Krash Patel and his band of misfits.”
