Ingraham Asks Kash Patel on Use of FBI Jet: ‘I’m Entitled to a Personal Life Just Like My Other Agency Counterparts’

EXCERPT:

PATEL: "It’s simple. The FBI director, all FBI directors are required users of the FBI plane. They don’t let me fly commercially. But my predecessors wasted millions of dollars because they were too lazy to drive an extra 20 minutes and go to Andrews Air Force Base. They used D.C. Reagan National as their personal hub, costing the taxpayers $4 million. I shut that policy off and mandated the use of government airfields. I also use the airplane less than my prior two predecessors. And, yes, I’m entitled to a personal life just like my other agency counterparts with their partners. So, do I support my girlfriend? Absolutely. And do I take trips with her? Absolutely. But when they’re talking about raid jackets and Velcro and FBI plane use, they are not talking about the facts because they know this FBI is succeeding in ways prior leadership failed. And those cronies will always stick together and, of course, band together with their enemies to come in and attack us. And our mission here is to protect the American people.”
