Episode notes
Patel's Leverage Versus Incompetence
- Ben Meiselas argues Kash Patel holds kompromat from the Epstein files that make him indispensable to Trump.
- Patel's public blunders contrast with the leverage he allegedly holds inside the FBI.
Charlie Kirk Shooting Misstep
- Meiselas recounts the Charlie Kirk shooter mishandling where Patel prematurely celebrated an arrest from a restaurant.
- That initial arrest proved mistaken and Patel later had to retract public claims.
Expect Strategic Reassignments
