"FBI Director Kash Patel raged at MSNBC Saturday over its reporting on his agency's alleged desired handling of the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. Comey was indicted by a grand jury last week for perjury and obstruction stemming from his 2020 testimony to Congress. Patel's vitriol was piqued after MSNBC's Jesse Rodriguez posted to X, MSNBC confirms: An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey.

Kash Patel publicly and angrily denounced MSNBC after an X post claimed an FBI agent was fired for refusing to arrest and "perp walk" James Comey. Comey faces grand-jury indictments for perjury and obstruction tied to his 2020 congressional testimony. MSNBC legal analyst Barb McQuade noted that DOJ policy prohibits perp walks. Patel attacked McQuade and MSNBC with profanity-laced social media posts, calling the network a "factory of disinformation" and urging FBI personnel to follow the chain of command. CBS News reported that FBI leadership discussed bringing Comey in for a showy arrest and requested large agents.
