Kash Patel Wants to Work From Home for FBI. But Who Does He Live With?
newrepublic.com
The new FBI director says he plans to WFH and run things remotely from Las Vegas. But why won’t he answer about who else lives in his house?

Summary

Kash Patel, the newly appointed FBI director, plans to work remotely from Las Vegas rather than from Washington, D.C.

His residence there, owned by GOP megadonor Michael Muldoon—who has been accused of fraudulent time-share schemes—raises ethical concerns.

Muldoon has ties to law enforcement figures and has financially supported Nevada politicians who overlooked complaints against him.

Patel and Muldoon share business connections and even traveled together while Patel was a federal official, potentially violating ethics rules.

His arrangement fuels concerns about conflicts of interest in the Trump administration.

    I work from home as an individual contributor, but even I recognize it’s not really possible for upper management to work remotely. How can they have dinners with business partners or be as persuasive remotely.

      It’s all a shell game. Upper management mainly exists to infuence other upper management. “We are talking to thier CXX, so they must be serious about a deal…” kinda crap. A company could have a far superior product, but if they have a less known and influential C-suite, they will lose to other products. In the end it is all about trading favors amongst the elite. If business decisions were just about products, we wouldn’t need all these upper management shills.
