The #FBI forced out a senior official overseeing aviation shortly after #KashPatel grew outraged about revelations of his PUBLICLY-AVAILABLE jet logs indicating he’d flown to see his musician girlfriend perform….

Steven Palmer, a 27-year veteran of the FBI, became the 3rd head of the critical incident response group—which includes FBI pilots—to be fired or removed in Patel’s short regime, adding to a year filled with retributive terminations.

The #immigration agents' #TearGas #grenades clinked & then exploded against the concrete, shrouding the block in plumes of white gas. The dozen or so residents at the scene only screamed louder.
