"You would not go out to the scene of an ongoing crisis, post-crisis investigation. I think that's many of the reasons why, you know, typically, directors don't do that. One of the reasons not to do that is because the presence of the director imposes a huge burden on the field office. There's all kinds of arrangements that have to be made. There's all kinds of security concerns that arise. Transportation becomes very complicated."
"And that's the last thing you wanna do to the field office while they're in the middle of investigating a critical incident. So, again, strange to go out there under those circumstances. Why he went and then did not say anything at the at the press conference, I really, I really don't know. I'm a bit at a loss to understand, like, what was the purpose of going out there."
Charlie Kirk was shot and killed Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University, and the suspect remains at large. Officials released surveillance footage and held a brief press conference; FBI Director Kash Patel attended but did not speak. Patel traveled to Utah with FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and toured the crime scene and the local field office. Patel faced criticism for tweets suggesting the suspect had been caught. Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe questioned the purpose of a director visiting an active investigation, citing potential burdens on the field office, security complications, and disrupted investigative work.
