How Kash Patel Ordered Himself a New Fleet of BMWs With FBI Money

Kash Patel made the FBI buy a custom fleet of armored BMW X5 for him to ride around in, according to MS NOW. The standard version of the X5 costs about $70,000.

“It offers protection not just against attacks with blunt instruments and handguns, but also against the world’s most widely used firearm, the AK-47,” the car’s description reads.

1. WTF?

[malaise]

2. Added link

WTF is right

[surfered]

8. Come see the waste, fraud, and abuse inherent in the system!

[malaise]

12. $300,000 per vehicle

Oh my!

[Abnredleg]

16. How much does an armored Suburban cost?

I suspect the price is comparable.

[MichMan]

28. I've seen a statement that a Suburban is considerably more expensive

[slightlv]

22. Absolute waste, fraud, and abuse.

But since its for THEM, it's obviously not seen that way! Who'd think Patel was important enough to go to jail over, anyway?! But when no money comes up for prosecutions of the actual "worst of the worst", we'll be able to point to where it went. Now... clawing it back may be another story.

3. More conservative values on display

Greed and ostentatiousness with total disregard for mission. More waste from the party of responsibility and rape and felony convictions.

[malaise]

4. It's disgusting

5. How about "his & hers" matching limos for him and his GF?

What a nice Christmas present and it didn't cost him a nickel.

6. Apparently this wasn't good enough.

It's (per the legend) a "Chevrolet Suburban/Scaletta Armoring/MSI Defense armored vehicle".

They only run $70-85k, one Internet site tells me. (Maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong. Dunno.)

9. I think that's the upgrade charge. Years back, BMW offered "Protection Series" cars, which doubled their price.

7. Again, I'm just saying...

10. What the director needs is a stretch limo with a Jacuzzi

[erronis]

19. What the director needs is a stretch with ropes and ratchets.

Who, me? I don't know what you're talking about!

[2naSalit]

11. What about...

Paintball guns? Enough of those attacking and you can blind them quickly.

ETA: Also SuperSoakers filled with paint.

13. He thinks it'll impress his girlfriend.

Like literally any self-indulgent wiener can have armored up GM suvs. If one pulls up in an armored BMW, one is not a self-indulgent wiener, he's a connoisseur.

[Ping Tung]

14. It's a brilliant move to allow the agents to be undercover while arresting people who say '"No" to Trump.

[dalton99a]

15. +1

[NotHardly]

17. What a grifting POS whinny baby

[Blue Owl]

18. Why no Tesla?

[CentralMass]

27. That's Tesler.

[PatSeg]

20. His inevitable fall will be something to see

Surely on some level he must realize this is a very short term gig and with the way he's been behaving, that fall gets more likely every day.

[NBachers]

21. My advocacy for a severe incarceration gets severer and severer.

23. JFC

[Nanjeanne]

24. This is insanity. I truly don't understand what kind of government we have that this is just standard operating procedur

[lame54]

25. Thought he was being fired...

Nothing ever pans out
Russia's going broke
Trump is dying
Noem and Patel on their way out
Epstein files will expose them

Whatever

[marble falls]

26. I don't think he understands that he is a fall guy. He's not helping himself out. Good.

[struggle4progress]

29. America breathes a sigh of relief now that KA$H can safely visit his fuckbuddy!

[Initech]

30. Why are they not Chevrolets? I thought these morons were "America First".

Also, where is the money for these coming from? They don't mind doing some wasteful government spending as long as they're they're the ones doing the spending.

[LoisB]

31. Is there anyone in this maladministration not misusing OUR money?
