Where was the rifle when he jumped from the building? How did the rifle get to the bushes wrapped in a towel when the video clearly shows he had no rifle when he jumped?

I was thinking the same thing, but if you look closely at the video, he appears to be picking up something off the ground after he jumped?

Police reported that the rifle was wrapped in a towel as he was making his escape.

I think this guy is spot on and his breakdown is very well articulated

I though Kash Patel was solid, but what about that weird Valhalla reference yesterday???


Maybe Bongino needs to promoted...

It was Patel's way of calling Charlie a warrior.
Valhalla is from Norse mythology as a place where warriors who died in battle end up in the afterlife.

I know the Norse mythology, and I thought that maybe the case, but I think the Director of the FBI should have had a better and more professional public response.


I still think it was weird.

Charlie was an evangelical protestant Christian.

I think Charlie would have been offended and would have no expectation of winding up in "Valhalla."




Nothing disrespectful to my Hindu, Islamic, Buddhist, Jewish, or Viking hunting brethren...

I heard this hundreds of times among soldiers before I retired. The particular faith, or lack of faith didn't matter.

It is used to denote that this man is my brother and fellow warrior. I thought it was a very appropriate way to honor Charlie.

Concur…

I thought it a bit odd coming from one non service member in reverence to another non service member… only because I’ve only ever heard it used by members of the military in reverence to other veterans or active service members…

But… honestly, no big deal… it’s just part of the warrior ethos.. and a different sort of way of saying you’ve earned my respect and I believe you’ve earned a seat of honor at the table in the afterlife, job well done…

While it may have sounded awkward to some.. Patel was just trying to honor Kirk.. doesn’t really bother me at all… I get what he was trying to convey…

Oh lighten up

No disrespect was intended, and no offence should be taken.

I would only be concerned if Patel said something about paradise and 72 virgins.....

Well you’d be hard pressed to find a Hindu saying that….

The 2 political smelly armpits of this nation. California on the West with greasy Newson, and New York in the east with that goon squad of moron's.
A political party so brainwashed that everyone from the low information crowd, to the highly affluent, will vote for any Ham sandwich with a (D) next to the name.
You get what you pay for, and I dont feel sorry for people who are complicit in creating those cesspools.

Brent ,the main problem is there are some good folks still left in California, more or less trapped ,ranchers , farmers , loggers ect. they are probably holding on to the the past glory days hoping it will revert back, so sorry for them, I dont see it happening. most of these are land owners.
heck I remember the days you could go abalone diving one day ,salmon fishing the next , blactail deer and bear hunting the next, and maybe surf dipping for smelt and never be more than an hour or 2 from home! Hog hunting too.

Long Beach was a Great place to live in 1956.

Was saying the same thing to my wife last night. I didn’t / couldn’t see a rifle when the dude was running across the roof and then jumping down.
