Kash Patel Sets Off Diplomatic Incident With FBI Operation in Mexico
(newrepublic.com)
Kash Patel is a joke
Oh my fucking fuck, this is real. Satire is spinning in its grave
We interrupt this program to bring you, this:
Please do not
I never would have thought that was real if you didn't say so holy fuck
The cover didn't look like AI and other comments were acting as if it were real, so I decided to look it up. I never would have imagined something so fucking stupid could even exist ... but then again, I have siloed myself in recent years with people who aren't fucking stupid
The Amazon reviews are also a trip
Thanks, I'll never get those brain cells back
Is his eye lazy even in his own book? I guess credit to him for owning it, likely the only credit I’ll ever give him
his eye is the hardest working part about him take that back
Which one?
Last week, the U.S. deployed the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team to Mexico to capture Wedding, who once was protected by the powerful Sinaloa cartel. But that was supposed to be kept secret, especially since Mexican law prohibits foreign law enforcement officers from being physically present in operations on Mexican soil, let alone take part in raids and arrests.
On Friday, however, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the joint operation publicly on X. “Our FBI HRT teams executed with precision, discipline, and total professionalism alongside our Mexican partners to bring Ryan James Wedding back to face justice,” he wrote, sending shock waves through Mexico.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum scrambled to perform damage control, as foreign intervention in Mexico is politically toxic. She said that there was no U.S. involvement in the operation and that U.S. agents in Mexico are limited by law.
So… the Mexican government learned that cooperating with the current US executive will just get you betrayed and result in an immediate shortening of your political career.
what a fucking moron loser dipshit. easier just to call the entire administration traitors
USA has no jurisdiction in Mexico. That's the story.
No, it’s that some executives allowed us law enforcement into operations that is not allowed by law in Mexico. And that US law enforcement embarrassed said executives by revealing failure to respect those laws. All parties probably learned something from this.
Both seem applicable.
Yeah but it’s no the story here.
Expand to ‘done in the name of the US’ and it might encourage more action.
It’s done in the name of the US, not just individuals. The US as a whole does it. Whether on not they all endorse it doesn’t matter and only means the good ones need to do something about it.
do something about it.
hey no worries lemme just strap up and single handedly take on the same U.S. military that the entire world fears
Yeah go for it sunshine. Jump in firing, that’s the way
Kash Patel has watched either too much or too little Sicario
