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.

    This is such a disappointment after a great game. Really just sours the moment.

    Doubly so because one of the first thing the broadcast talked about was how inspirational these guys and gals are for future generations of athletes.

    Our youth shouldn’t look up to people who party with pedophile defenders and protectors.
