Patel celebrates in the locker room after coming under fierce scrutiny over his personal trips on government jets

FBI Director Kash Patel is once again under fire for his use of official FBI resources for travel as he appeared alongside gold medal-winning members of Team USA hockey on Sunday at the Olympics in Milano Cortina.

The FBI chief has was previously accused of using federal government resources to take “extravagant” trips with his girlfriend, allegedly earning him the derisive nickname “Make-a-Wish Director” behind closed doors.

But on Sunday he posted photos of himself grinning alongside members of the men’s hockey team mere hours after a spokesperson for his agency blasted the mere suggestion that Patel had used government resources for a personal vacation.

    Most countries would laugh you out of the room if you said being a jurist was a requirement to be the head of police.

    It is a good background for such a position, but it is also true that the US government is overweighted with jurists and that there are a lot of shitty right-wing law schools in the US. See JD Vance for an example of how good Yale is.
