How did federal agents thwart an ISIS‑linked attack in Pennsylvania?
I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Mickley with Georgia Howe. It's Tuesday, September 15th. This is Evening Wire.
FBI Director Kash Patel's hearing before Congress this morning turned dramatic as senators berated the director over his job performance and private behavior. Tempers flared when Senator Peter Welsh questioned Patel on his response to an article from The Atlantic, which claimed the director would frequently become visibly intoxicated in public.
She wrote, you are known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication, in many cases in a private club at Ned's in Washington, D.C. She also wrote, you are known to drink to excess at the Poodle Room in Las Vegas. Did the FBI ever investigate the author of that article, Ms. Fitzpatrick, following that Atlantic Star?
As a U.S. citizen, I have every right to claim the truth. She printed false material. I'm taking her to court.
They didn't ask that
question. Let me finish. No, because you're answering a question I
didn't ask.
Why did President Trump criticize the Supreme Court’s mail‑in voting decision?
Other lines of questioning fell down a strange rabbit hole as senators questioned the FBI's loosening of recruiting restrictions, including allowing applicants who'd been convicted of certain crimes, including sex crimes.
According to a memo issued this June, the FBI has lowered its hiring standards by dropping automatic disqualification for applicants who have stolen from fire employees, paid for sex, or engaged in bestiality. Director Patel, do you believe those who have previously stolen from employers, solicited sex, or engaged in bestiality are qualified candidates that the FBI is losing? We did not want to punish victims
of bestiality, victims who were trafficked. We did not want to make it an automatic disqualification for the FBI to consider you if you are a victim of these awful, heinous acts. They still have to go to the same rigorous standards and application process.
The most fiery statements, however, came from Senator Cory Booker in his closing remarks.
We don't have an FBI director. We have a lackey here who is using government. And frankly, he's not even a good lackey. He's an incompetent lackey.
He's like an
18-year-old kid who wants to join a fraternity that he could never be a member of, doing keg stands and chugging with friends. He's an embarrassment to the agency and wouldn't qualify even to be an FBI agent, sir.
Federal agents have arrested a 21-year-old Pennsylvania man they say was preparing to carry out an attack for ISIS. Reporter Zach Jewell has the latest.
Prosecutors say Jonathan Kramer was observed outside a sporting goods store north of Pittsburgh on September 12th, carrying a rifle, five magazines, and 190 rounds of ammunition he'd bought earlier that day.
What are Governor Gavin Newsom’s comments on a potential Kamala Harris presidential run?
He was arrested later that day in a hotel parking lot. According to the criminal complaint, Kramer pledged allegiance to ISIS online and said he was preparing for his, quote, mission, but still needed a weapon. FBI Director Kash Patel said Kramer had been, quote, plotting a violent attack in support of ISIS and that the agency had him on its radar for years. In 2023, when he was still a minor, he faced legal consequences over a separate thwarted mass casualty plot.
