FBI Director Kash Patel’s timing is, to put it mildly, questionable

. He’s currently in Italy, presumably sipping espresso and cheering on Olympic hockey, while back in the States, the Mar-a-Lago shooting is making headlines. It’s not exactly the best look for the bureau, and Patel’s jet-setting ways aren’t helping.

Patel’s got a reputation for ignoring protocol and doing what he wants

, and this trip is just the latest example. It’s hard to blame him for wanting to get out of Dodge, but it’s not like the FBI is exactly having a slow week. With the Mar-a-Lago shooting still unfolding, you’d think Patel would want to be a bit more hands-on. Guess not.
