Another day, another hoax.
The latest hoax only lasted a few days until it fell apart.
Last week, former counter-intelligence official Frank Figliuzzi appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” to discuss Trump’s FBI Director Kash Patel.
Figliuzzi claimed, without offering any evidence whatsoever, that Kash Patel has been partying at nightclubs and barely working.
“Reportedly, he’s been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of the Hoover building,” Figliuzzi said on Morning Joe last week.
“And there are reports that daily briefings to him have been changed from every day to maybe twice weekly,” he added.
Figliuzzi claimed Kash Patel has been spending a lot of time at his home in Las Vegas and therefore the FBI is in total chaos.
“So this is both a blessing and a curse, because if he’s really trying to run things without his experience, without any experience level, things could be bad. If he’s not plugged in, things could be bad. But he’s allowing agents to run things so we don’t know where this is going,” Figliuzzi said, according to The Daily Beast.
“But the one word that keeps coming back at me from inside is that the building is chaos,” he said.
“People don’t know what’s happening from day to day. There’s also been reporting, I believe, from the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, that Patel spent a lot of his time at his home in Las Vegas. He’s been sort of working remotely for at least part of the week.”
On Monday, MSNBC was forced to issue an on-air retraction.
“This was a misstatement. We have not verified that claim,” MSNBC said of Frank Figliuzzi’s bogus claims about Kash Patel.
