FBI Director Kash Patel strode into the White House briefing room Wednesday, fielding softballs on border security and agency reforms.
Not one reporter dared confront the elephants in the room: a bombshell investigation linking a former Capitol Police officer — now at the CIA — to the unsolved Jan. 6 pipe bombs, and Patel's proxy lawsuits targeting conservative voices merely echoing rumors.
The silence on these explosive issues — implicating a massive FBI-CIA-Capitol Police cover-up, with the FBI director wielding government power to crush journalists and free speech — is deafening.

The Blaze reported on November 8, "Former Capitol Police officer a forensic match for Jan. 6 pipe bomber, sources say."
A computer program compared the bomb suspect’s gait to that of Shauni Kerkhoff, producing a 94 percent match.
Forensic analysis pegged former U.S. Capitol Police officer Shauni Rae Kerkhoff, 31, of Alexandria, Va., as a 94 percent to 98 percent match to the pipe-bomb suspect's stride, Blaze News reported, citing intelligence sources and a veteran analyst.
Kerkhoff served 4½ years on Capitol Police, departing mid-2021 for CIA security detail.
A source tied to congressional Jan. 6 probes told Blaze: "They were f**king in on it," alleging law enforcement involvement in planting the devices.
FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin, surveilling near the suspect's Falls Church address days after Jan. 5, 2021, said agents were "deliberately pulled away" despite proximity.
"Everything about that tells me... cover-up since day one," Seraphin told Blaze.

Yet no briefing query on why the FBI, under Patel, issues no statement amid allegations Kerkhoff planted bombs to divert resources as crowds breached the Capitol at 12:53 p.m. Jan. 6 — just before a joint session certified the 2020 election.
No question on the unprecedented $5 million lawsuit filed by Patel’s girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins — a self-proclaimed public figure — against journalist Elijah Schaffer for retweeting her photo and FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin for merely referencing rumors that she is a Mossad agent.
This @ElijahSchaffer tweet got the same lawsuit for the same amount of money from the same law firm as I got.

The law firm is @BinnallLaw which is run by @jbinnall who is also the President of the Kash Foundation. (formerly Fight with Kash)

Representing Wilkins: Patel’s own attorney, making the FBI director’s proxy war on protected speech crystal clear.

by FBI director Kash Patel's inner circle. I've never engaged in defamation or illegal activity. Gross LAW FARE
This is an ATTACK on free speech & an EMBARRASSMENT to the FBI & Trump Admin

In a republic shielded by the First Amendment, free speech isn’t defamation punishable by $5 million lawsuits — especially not when aimed at officials lounging in luxury, wielding unchecked power and delivering nothing but failure on the taxpayer’s dime.
Conservative media's true colors shine defending Patel, ignoring whistleblowers' rights to report without reprisal.
All these HIT pieces against FBI Director Kash Patel and his personal life (the one he’s apparently not supposed to have?)

You may disdain Schaffer or Seraphin, but they expose what lapdogs won't.
SPIN SPIN... call your buddy who is in the FBI's management and SPIN.

Maybe Julie can explain why my team was next door to the subject The Blaze as identified.
(Also, maybe why she is trying so hard to cover for the FBI. Asking for my own curiosity.) pic.twitter.com/9TdkdoXPYw
Imagine this: A star Ohio goalie shatters her leg, pivots to policing, limps into history as the hoodie-clad figure slinking through D.C. alleys, backpack heavy with pipe bombs.
Cut to briefing room sycophants nodding along while the FBI director — once decrying "government ruse" on pipe bombs — now sues truth-tellers.
Attention Press who are listening to nonsense about Chinese dope trafficking into the US by @FBIDirectorKash.

The controversies—allegations of a law-enforcement-orchestrated J6 pipe-bomb plot and Patel’s proxy $5 million lawsuits against Schaffer and Seraphin—have dominated X as the platform’s top-trending news story since Blaze News published its gait-analysis findings while a flood of user posts overwhelmingly back Schaffer's right to retweet without reprisal.

The "free press" is on a leash, and the deep state laughs all the way to the luxury suite.
