A drunk Kash Patel was so convinced he had been fired last week he has a total “freak out” that spread throughout the entire FBI.
On multiple occasions Patel’s security detail had difficulty waking him because he was intoxicated, according to info supplied to DOJ and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment” was made because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors.
Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern, often drinking to the point of obvious intoxication. Meetings and briefings had to be rescheduled as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights. On multiple occasions, his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was intoxicated.
He’s not just unqualified and incompetent, wasting taxpayer money on partying trips aboard the two FBI jets, but also drunk and disorderly, making him a national security risk. Call him before Congress. He must resign now.

Analysis Summary
The Atlantic reported that FBI Director Kash Patel had a panic episode on April 10 after briefly thinking he'd been locked out of his system, and that senior officials have documented a pattern of excessive drinking and unexplained absences that have required rescheduling briefings and security detail interventions. The article attributes these concerns to multiple current and former officials, though Patel and the White House deny the allegations. The Mastodon post accurately relays the Atlantic's reporting but adds unsourced claims about FBI jet trips and frames the story as calling for his resignation without noting that the White House has defended him and indicated he remains in position.
