FBI Director Kash Patel hilariously unleashed on MSNBC on Saturday, labeling the network an “ass clown factory of disinformation” following their reporting on the alleged firing of an FBI agent who supposedly refused to conduct a “perp walk” arrest of disgraced former FBI Director James Comey.
Patel’s X post comes amid Comey’s recent indictment on perjury and obstruction charges, stemming from his 2020 congressional testimony, where he allegedly lied under oath.
Comey, the former FBI Director infamous for his role in the Russia hoax and mishandling of the Hillary Clinton email scandal, was indicted last week by a grand jury on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice related to his 2020 testimony before Congress.
Ever the drama queen, Comey responded to the indictment by declaring his innocence and demanding a trial: “Let’s have a trial.”
According to a CBS News report, FBI leadership discussed options for Comey’s arrest on the day of his indictment.
Sources indicated that a “showy” approach was considered, involving “large, beefy” agents in full tactical gear, including Kevlar vests and FBI-branded attire. This was reportedly to ensure a secure and visible operation, with Supervisory Special Agent Chris Ray potentially leading the team.
MSNBC, never missing a chance to smear the Trump administration, jumped on the story with unverified claims.
On Saturday, MSNBC’s Jesse Rodriguez posted on X, “MSNBC confirms: An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey.”

Former U.S. Attorney and MSNBC legal analyst Barb McQuade chimed in, claiming in an X post: “DOJ policy prohibits ‘perp walks,’ in which arrestees are paraded before the cameras.” This selective outrage conveniently forgets the media’s glee over high-profile arrests of Trump associates.

Patel responded to the news on Saturday, writing on X, “BREAKING: MSNBC still an ass clown factory of disinformation. Same circus animals that slobbered all over perp walks of Stone, Navarro, Bannon… MSNBC has no facts and no audience. In this @fbi, follow the chain of command or get relieved.”

Patel’s reference to the “perp walks” of Roger Stone, Peter Navarro, and Steve Bannon is spot-on. These Trump allies were subjected to dramatic, early-morning raids complete with cameras rolling, spectacles that MSNBC and other outlets celebrated as “justice being served.”
