BREAKING: Former FBI Director James Comey just TORCHED Kash Patel for his disrespectful Pearl Harbor snorkel vacation — and gave him a lesson on how to behave on the job. Today, the Associated Press revealed that FBI Director Kash Patel happily snorkeled over the graves of 900 American sailors. That's not a metaphor. Patel (alias “J. Edgar Boozer”) — a man who has spent the past year jetting around the world on a government Gulfstream, partying in Olympic locker rooms, and handing out branded bourbon bottles — quietly arranged a "VIP snorkel" around the sunken USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, where the remains of more than 900 sailors and Marines still rest on the ocean floor. The excursion was coordinated by military officials, kept out of FBI press releases, and revealed only through government emails obtained by the Associated Press. Patel had already visited Hawaii once on that trip. He came back for two more days — and nobody at the FBI will say what else he did there. The government jet then flew on to Las Vegas, Patel's adopted hometown. When CNN's Kasie Hunt asked former FBI Director James Comey whether he would have done any of this, the response was quietly devastating. "I visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial with the admiral in charge of the Pacific Command on a Navy boat," Comey said. "Never got in the water." Comey then explained what Patel apparently never learned: "When you're FBI director, you have a responsibility to represent not just yourself, but 38,000 people and an idea, an American idea that's respected around the world. You're always on duty, you're always being watched." On Patel's drinking? "You can't be [intoxicated] because you're always on. You don't get vacation because you're considered on the job 24-7 all the time. You can be asked to approve a FISA, to be involved in an operational decision." Marine veteran Hack Albertson, who dives the Arizona annually to monitor the wreck's condition, didn't mince words about Patel's snorkel tour: "It's like having a bachelor party at a church. It's hallowed ground. It needs to be treated with the solemnity it deserves." Meanwhile, family members of Pearl Harbor survivors — who have never been permitted to snorkel at the site themselves — learned their loved ones' tomb was used for a VIP recreational outing by a man who also gave New Zealand officials illegal 3D-printed guns and chugged beer on camera at the Olympics. How far the FBI has fallen under Patel and the Trump administration! We’re lucky to have James Comey’s institutional memory to remind us how things are supposed to work.
