CNN’s Tapper: The Issue Is About Whether or Not Kash Patel Is ‘Embarrassing the Bureau’ or ‘the Perks He Grabs’

‘The seriousness with which he treats his job’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “Of course, the issue is not whether or not Kash Patel loves America. It’s about his judgment and whether or not he’s embarrassing the Bureau and the perks he grabs, and the seriousness with which he treats his job, and one would think the FBI is pretty busy these days with lots of things going on. The Government Accountability Office estimates that flying the FBI private jet costs at least $5,000 per hour, meaning Patel’s Olympic trip could theoretically cost taxpayers at least tens of thousands of dollars. And we should note that the FBI director for security reasons is legally mandated to use government aircraft for all travel, including personal trips.”
