1. It sounds like Patel is next on the chopping block, so he's probably just trying to pretend to be useful.

That man is SO dumb he thinks any attention will be helpful to his precarious position.

A sitting US Senator suddenly dies.
I would expect the FBI would be involved until the cause of death is confirmed

The organization under Kash is not capable of running an honest investigation. Besides he jumped into yhis trying to cloud everyone’s judgement alluding to conspiracy theories.

8. I would be very upset if a Democratic Senator suddenly died and the FBI sat on their hands

The preliminary cause of death is natural causes. Once confirmed I would expect the case to close.

9. Is it standard policy for the FBI to open an investigation every time a public official suddenly dies?

Im asking seriously because I don’t know.

If it is, fine. From what I can tell, these are all desperate theatrics from a man likely about to lose his job.

11. Most deaths of Congressional members are not so sudden

and usually are due to known long term issues such as cancer.

I could only find one somewhat recent death of a Congressmember at home, Paul Gilmor. His death was ruled to be injuries from a fall down stairs. It isn't clear if the FBI was involved in the investigation, but local police did determine no evidence of foul play.

4. Because Kash Patel is unfit to be FBI director. Like most in this Administration, he's a grifter and fond of conspiracy

Because it has to be foul play, not natural causes. Wait, I forgot that there's no longer any crime in D.C.

Senator Graham's recent secret trip to Ukraine made him vulnerable to a Russian/Iranian assassination attempt.
