https://www.thedailybeast.com/keystone-kash-busted-celebrating-in-olympic-locker-room-on-work-trip/Kash Patels taxpayer-funded work trip to Italy included a well-documented raucous locker room celebration with Team USA at the Winter Olympics.
FBI Director Kash Patel, 45, was first captured celebrating with U.S. mens hockey player Dylan Larkin in an Instagram Live following their triumphant match against Team Canada. Patel then posted his own photos hanging out with the athletes and shared a video of the medal ceremony.
Unity, Sacrifice, Attitude- what it takes to be the best in the world, he posted on X. These men live and breathe it. Now Team USA are gold medal champions, legends standing on the shoulders of giants. Thank you for representing the greatest country on earth, in the greatest game ever created.
In replies to his post, social media users complained that Patel was funding his Olympic vacation with the taxpayers dime.

This is the biggest appeal of Trump to these people, and why they remain silent and loyal through every transgression.
Under Trump, they get away with it, and none of the public outcry matters to them, because this cross-eyed creep got free passage to Italy on a government jet, a security detail, room & board...
Look at who this guy was BEFORE Trump got re-elected. There is literally no way to justify believing that he...would...CARE if he angered ANYONE, as long as it wasn't Trump.
