I'm sure it will be embarrassing for him personally, but not a breach of U.S. government systems. Kudos to CNN for publishing a balanced take on it.

You're assuming that he didn't use personal email for his FBI "work".

  The leak is from 2011-2022. He wasn't in the government then!!!!

    Are you kidding? He had extremely sensitive roles as Devin Nunes' House committee aide from 2017–2019 in the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, National Security Council aide and deputy director of national intelligence (2019–2020), and then Chief of staff to the secretary of defense (2020–2021).

      I wonder how much of 2021. Two FBI agents reported that he was the bag man for payments to alter Jan 6 cases. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/02/us/politics/house-weaponization-committee-jan-6.html?unlocked_article_code=1.WVA.o7YF.hffW3k1IwGTY&smid=url-share https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/02/us/politics/house-weaponi...

    Maybe something fun about his book. https://www.amazon.com/Plot-Against-King-Kash-Patel/dp/1955550123 https://www.amazon.com/Plot-Against-King-Kash-Patel/dp/19555...

      What a weird looking book. The cover shows Trump as the king, lol Anyways, if i were a parent, i'd certainly try to do everything to prevent my kids (under 10) from getting into politics. Let them live as normal kids should.

        Patel is a weird little goblin for sure.

    per Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai > In some cases, Patel appears to have sent emails from his former Justice Department email address in 2014 to his Gmail account. TechCrunch found that the emails sent from Patel’s DOJ account also appeared to be authentic.

These are a group that used outside signal chats to discuss war plans. What odds do you have that he didn't use a personal email to avoid future accountability?

  That’s depressingly common with politicians the world over because Signal supports disappearing messages. So I wouldn’t expect someone who uses Signal to automatically be the kind of person to use personal email for work.

The US media has a clear understanding that their reporting on the war needs to be filtered and biased. This is not some coming-to-their-senses against sensationalism, but a nothingburger they know they can't sensationalize without great risk. As is the case in any administration; let alone with an admin as vindictive as Trump's. This "balanced take" warrants kudos? We're not even pretending to lift the bar off the ground when it comes to mainstream media, are we?
