The new FBI director says he plans to WFH and run things remotely from Las


Kash Patel's appointment as FBI director seems to be coming with conditions: He wants to live part-time in Las Vegas and work remotely, far away from FBI headquarters in Washington.

Why Las Vegas? Patel has long called the city home, but what's most intriguing is his actual place of residence. The FBI director lives at a home owned by Michael Muldoon, a Republican Party megadonor who runs shady time-share companies, reported the Nevada Independent earlier this month. Muldoon has been sued over allegations of running a "bait and switch" scheme in his time-shares, where "owners" didn't actually own their properties and were gouged for fees at the same time.

Muldoon appears to have a history of cozying up to law enforcement officials. He has donated a lot of money to the political campaigns of former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, whose office received multiple complaints about Muldoon's businesses but never pursued them. And apart from sharing an address with Patel, Muldoon also has intricate business dealings with him, utilizing the same incorporation and legal services.

Patel and Muldoon even took a golf triptogether to Scotland back when the FBI director was a federal employee on the National Security Council, which could be an ethics violation. Patel at the time was barred from accepting gifts, and the NSC at the time wasn't approving any trips. He also would have had to report the trip, and records aren't available from that time to confirm whether he did or did not.

All of this raises questions as to how Patel is going to run not one, but two, prominent federal law enforcement agencies (he is also head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) with such extensive ties to someone with questionable practices, living in Las Vegas part-time. It seems that the appearance of corruption is not a barrier to working in the Trump administration, even if you're in charge of enforcing the law.

How’s he going to fight violent crime in Detroit and Cleveland from a cushy conflict of interest house in Las Vegas?

I don't know.

Maybe he can take advice from Biden since he "ran" the country from the beach for 40 percent of his "presidency".

lol.  Yes, just look at the left hypocrisy here in this seed with four comments.  Question - do you ever look at what you write and think it makes sense?

I thought Trump demanded all government workers had to return to the office, only to appoint Musk as DOGE so they could get fired by email. 😂😅😂😅

So now Trump appoints Patel to FBI and Patel wants to work from home and setup his office in Las Vegas.

So will Musk send Patel an email firing him and close the Las Vegas office before Patel moves in so DOGE can then tout "savings"?😂
