And we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.” Meanwhile, MS NOW is reporting that when FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI personnel last week because they were part of the investigation into Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents, Patel targeted an elite counterespionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran.
