Kash Patel Purchases New Fleet of Luxury Armored BMWs to Be 'Less Conspicuous' During Outings

Source: People

FBI Director Kash Patel is flouting tradition by traveling in a luxury car instead of the department's standard-issue SUVs.

MS NOW reported on Monday, Dec. 22, that Patel, 45, pressured the FBI to purchase him a special, armored BMW X5, with sources saying he felt it made him "less conspicuous on his outings."

While the State Department contracts similar vehicles to transport foreign dignitaries in high-risk environments around the world, FBI personnel have traditionally been driven in a Chevrolet Suburban.

FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson confirmed the purchase of the X5s for Patel's use, saying, “Government agencies, including the FBI, routinely evaluate, replace and update vehicle fleets based on usage, security needs or budgetary decisions. The specific decisions referenced in this article were evaluated partly as a way to save taxpayers millions by picking cheaper selections or making cost structures more efficient."

They were using Chevy LUV pickups which were always breaking down and having multiple problems. I suggested they switch to the much more reliable (and lower-cost) Datsun models, and really got taken to task for even suggesting buying a non-American made vehicle.

'America First' my ass!
