ou probably heard part of this story. But the really bad parts are even worse.

Kash Patel heads up the FBI. That sentence alone is outrageous. Anyway, he’s got a government-issued, taxpayer-funded plane. $60 million Gulfstream to be precise, a jet intended for high-stakes counterintelligence operations. (Like the one the Criminal Minds characters use.)

Except Kash was using it for repeat trips to Nashville, coincidentally the home of his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins.

Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin noticed the pattern: Penn State, Nashville, back again. Patel’s girlfriend performing on stage while the United States’ Gulfstream idled on the tarmac. When Kyle posted the data publicly (which was what you probably heard about), the FBI’s flight tracker vanished from public access. For the first time in its history.

But the truth was out there. So what did Kash do? He apologized for using government property improperly for personal uses, agreed to reimburse the cost of the jet fuel, and said he would no longer moonlight with our Gulfstream.

Nah, just kidding.

He leaked to CNN “exclusive” news of a foiled ISIS-inspired terror plot involving AK-47s, online chats, and something called Pumpkin Day. Timing so perfect you could hear the wag of the dog’s tail from outer space.

Of course senior DOJ and FBI officials were livid. Patel had gone public with an ongoing Michigan investigation before a criminal complaint existed and before agents even confirmed what the plot actually was.

Since we are living not under a serious or competent government but in a reality tv series, Seraphin had actually called this stunt days earlier when he wrote that Patel would need to “announce a big international arrest to distract from his optics disaster.”

As former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman told MeidasTouch, “If any rank-and-file agent did this, they’d be fired on the spot. You don’t leak before indictments, you don’t tip off suspects and blow months of undercover work.”

In other words, Kash Patel, compromised his own agency’s case to change the conversation about his girlfriend and his jet.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Friends, this election will be, far and away, the nastiest, meanest, least honest one ever. The lying, cheating and stealing will be off the proverbial charts. Why? Because there are so many powerful people who will not just lose their positions but will be facing prison for personally benefitting from the public treasury in ways that are not permitted under any interpretation of the law.

Buckle up, my friends. The MAGA jet is going to dump a lot more on our heads than just diarrhea in a meme next year.
