I have a new piece about FBI Director Kash Patel’s firing of FBI personnel who worked on the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation of Trump conducted by the bureau and Biden DOJ special counsel Jack Smith starting in 2022. Patel is also publicly feigning astonishment that the FBI subpoenaed telephone toll records (not the contents of his conversations) pertaining to him and to Susie Wiles — then a Trump confidante who eventually ran the 2024 campaign and is now the president’s White House chief of staff.

As I explain in the article, it’s odd for Patel to claim shock over the phone records
