The Director of the FBI Cannot Stop Tweeting About Its Investigations

"By this point I think you're all sadly familiar with Kash Patel, the former host of a MAGA podcast and current director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He's the guy accused of abusing the FBI's $60 million jet to go on dates with his 27-year-old country singer girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, and has a bad habit of running to Twitter to clout-post while federal investigations are still underway."

"The FBI recently helped arrest an alleged cocaine trafficker in Mexico so he could be charged in a California federal court. (The suspect is a former Canadian Olympic snowboarder named Ryan Wedding, what a world.) But the agency's involvement in the January 22 operation was supposed to be a secret because Mexican law bans foreign agents from making arrests on its soil."

"Then, around 2 p.m. on January 23, Patel tweeted out that the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team helped arrest the guy: This was a zero-margin, high-risk operation. Our FBI HRT teams executed with precision, discipline, and total professionalism alongside our Mexican partners to bring Ryan James Wedding back to face justice. One of the most dangerous criminals in the world is now off the..."

"Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said at a press conference that U.S. authorities told her Wedding turned himself in at the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Ronald Johnson, also said he surrendered. But Wedding's attorney says that's not what happened. "He was arrested, he didn't surrender," Anthony Colombo told the WSJ. Sheinbaum has been accused of making concessions to the U.S. to try to prevent punishing tariffs, so she is possibly just trying to play nice here by repeating the Trump regime's line."

Kash Patel, FBI director and former MAGA podcast host, publicly tweeted that the FBI Hostage Rescue Team helped detain alleged cocaine trafficker Ryan Wedding in Mexico. The operation on January 22 aimed to bring Wedding to face federal charges in California, but Mexican law prohibits foreign agents from making arrests on Mexican soil. Mexican officials said Wedding surrendered at the U.S. Embassy, while Wedding's attorney insisted he was arrested. Patel has a history of publicizing sensitive operations and faces allegations of misusing FBI resources and posting about ongoing federal investigations.
