'Absolutely sick': Kash Patel's 'humiliating' leadership at FBI stuns ex-GOP analyst

Some of Kash Patel's leadership decisions at the FBI have been nothing short of "humiliating," according to one former conservative analyst.

Tim Miller, writer at large for The Bulwark, discussed Patel's leadership at the FBI on a recent episode of "The Bulwark Podcast." He recorded the episode before learning that conservative activist Charlie Kirk had been murdered at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. Patel's FBI is now leading the investigation, which has exposed some of the disarray behind the scenes.

Miller pointed out that Patel has made employment decisions based on an agent's political loyalty to President Donald Trump, citing a recent lawsuit filed by multiple former FBI Agents.

"It is sick what these people are doing at the FBI, it is absolutely sick," Miller said. "And it is going to lead to a more dangerous country. I think that both on the merits and on the politics of this, people should be outraged by the way that our federal police force is being run right now."

Miller also criticized Patel's handling of the investigation into Kirk's murder.

"Kash Patel absolutely bungled up publicly posting about having a suspect and then having to post again about how they had released the suspect," Miller said. "Humiliating."
