0:24.0

about a lawsuit being filed by three former FBI officials targeting the Bureau, and

0:32.2

particularly naming Cash Patel and Dan Bongino as incompetent, as wrongly firing them, as caring more about

0:40.1

their social media and their political revenge tour than about protecting the country. And

0:45.9

given what we've seen from Cash and from the FBI since this assassination of Charlie Kirk,

0:53.8

I feel like the testimony in that lawsuit

2:07.7

So stick around for more details from this lawsuit because it is a fucking doozy.

2:12.8

And we'll be back for more on this as news develops out of Utah.
