Kash Patel on Biden Admin's Migrant Vetting Failures and Terror Attack

Terror Attack and Migrant Vetting

• 🎯 A terror attack before Thanksgiving in DC, resulting in the death of one service member and injury to another, is linked to an individual who entered the US after the Afghanistan withdrawal.
• 🔍 The FBI is conducting an extensive investigation, mapping the perpetrator's network globally and seizing dozens of devices through nearly 30 search warrants across the country.
• ⚠️ The individual's entry into the US is attributed to the Biden administration's decision to not vet thousands of people following the Afghanistan withdrawal.

FBI's Role in Vetting and Security

• 🤝 The FBI works in conjunction with DHS to triage individuals entering the US, checking databases for any name check issues or identifiers linked to ongoing investigations.
• 🚨 The FBI's focus is on protecting and preventing future criminal acts and acts of terrorism while collaborating with DHS on vetting.
• 🇺🇸 Kash Patel agrees with the idea of pausing people entering the country to get a handle on the situation, emphasizing the need for thorough vetting.

Allegations of a Discarded Blueprint

• 📜 Kash Patel states that the Trump administration left the Biden administration a blueprint for migrant vetting, which was intentionally discarded.
• 🚫 This decision is blamed for the terrorist attack on American soil, which Patel suggests could have been prevented.

Investigation into Thomas Krooks

• 🕵️ The FBI determined that Thomas Krooks, the attempted assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, worked alone, based on a thorough investigation of his seized devices, emails, contacts, and social media.
• ⚠️ The investigation remains active, with the FBI open to reviewing any new information that may come to light.
• ❓ Questions remain about how Krooks was allowed to have a vehicle, access the grounds, and use a drone, with the FBI committed to presenting facts rather than speculation.

Inter-Agency Failure and Accountability

• 📉 Patel points to an inter-agency failure by the prior administration regarding security for President Trump's team, citing limitations on resources for Secret Service and law enforcement.
• ⚖️ From the FBI's perspective, accountability hinges on criminal conduct, and currently, there is no information to support that specific acts of negligence occurred, though the investigation is ongoing.
