Your TAX DOLLARS at WORK! I KNOW you feel GREAT about paying a SWAT team to protect Kash Patel's girlfriend.

Kash Patel’s girlfriend being protected by FBI’s SWAT team as security perk
Agents on a detail with the country singer would presumably be unable to respond or delayed in responding to other incidents, according to sources.

FBI Director Kash Patel’s country music performer girlfriend currently enjoys the protection of an FBI security detail to shield her from potential threats, prompting concerns that the arrangement may delay law enforcement from responding to other incidents, two people with direct knowledge tell MS NOW.

Alexis Wilkins, Patel’s girlfriend, has a security detail made up of elite FBI agents usually assigned to a SWAT team in the FBI field office in Nashville, where Wilkins spends time for her work. She and Patel first met in Nashville and while they travel together at times, they do not share a residence. Patel often travels to Washington for work but keeps a legal residence in Las Vegas.

People familiar with FBI security protocols said they were unaware of any instance in which the girlfriends of top FBI officials received government-staffed security details. Former FBI Director Christopher Wray’s wife Helen received a security detail; she lived with Wray in their home in Atlanta.

SWAT team agents on a detail with Wilkins would presumably be unable to respond or delayed in responding to crises that might develop in their territory, such as mass shootings or terror attacks, according to the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters.

The odds are really, really high that everyone on the security detail is more attractive and interesting than you.

They are ruthlessly looting the national treasury.
Ever notice you NEVER hear the word deficit anymore?
No numbers on the jobs or the economy. Still no budget.

Wake up America. The USA is Trump’s next bankruptcy. They are busting it out… just like the restaurant in Goodfellas.

Actor Robert Patrick played a sporting goods store owner. Got in way over his head on gambling debts. The difference between the Goodfellas scene and the Sopranos scene was that Goodfellas was sort of a shrugged shoulders "hey, this is just how we do business" thing, while there was much more sadistic cruelty and glee with the Sopranos crew, "Who did you think you were getting in bed with?"

But yeah, 100%, it's the Trump Crime Family's bust-out of America. By the time he's done, the social safety net will look like a pair of fishnet stockings.

Girlfriends, are not entitled to protection, and secondly, the protection must be provided by the Secret Service. Not that she qualifies for any protection anyway..
