FBI director skewers this Leftist celebrity for their attack on Trump

The FBI has been reformed under Donald Trump. It’s no longer led by members of the D.C. swamp.

And the FBI director skewered this Leftist celebrity for their attack on Trump.

FBI Director Kash Patel just dropped a truth bomb on ESPN loudmouth Stephen A. Smith. This guy’s out here peddling conspiracy theories like they’re yesterday’s headlines, claiming President Trump’s pulling strings on a massive bust of NBA big shots tangled up in illegal betting rings.

Picture this: Over 30 high-rollers from the NBA and straight-up Mafia members hauled off in cuffs, all thanks to a no-nonsense takedown of crooked gambling ops.

We’re talking coaches, players, and mobsters from families like the Bonannos, Gambinos, Genoveses, and Luccheses. This isn’t some sideshow—it’s a multimillion-dollar racket that raked in $7 million over two years. And Patel’s leading the charge under Trump’s iron-fisted return to law and order.

On Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle Thursday, Patel torched Smith’s idiotic take. “I’m the FBI director. I decide which arrest to conduct and which not to conduct,” he fired off to host Laura Ingraham.

Smith, that ESPN firebrand who’s more bark than bite, went full tinfoil hat on his First Take show right after the arrests hit. He spun this yarn about Trump weaponizing the feds against the league, warning his viewers like some doomsday preacher.

“Tell me when we’ve seen that … We’ve seen accusations before. We’ve seen athletes get in trouble with the law before. You don’t see the director of the FBI having a press conference. It’s not coincidental. It’s not an accident. It’s a statement, and it’s a warning that more is coming,” he said on the show.

Patel’s response? Pure gold. He called out Smith’s nonsense as the pinnacle of stupidity. “That may be the single dumbest thing I’ve ever heard out of anyone in modern history. And I live most of my time in Washington, DC,” Patel unloaded.

Patel didn’t stop there. He lumped Smith’s drivel right in with the biggest frauds out there. “It’s right up there with Adam Schiff. We arrest people for crimes,” he added, slicing through the hysteria like a hot knife.

The fallout from this bust is shaking up the hardwood like never before. Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, and ex-NBA player Damon Jones are staring down indictments.

Throw in players and coaches from the Charlotte Hornets, Los Angeles Lakers, and Toronto Raptors, and you’ve got a league-wide housecleaning.

Smith tossed out baseless fearmongering without a shred of evidence. “This is just the tip of the iceberg,” he claimed. “It’s very concerning. We don’t know where this is gonna go. But everybody better brace themselves, because he’s coming,” the host ranted

He even dragged in wild side plots, like whispers of ICE agents crashing Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime gig or the WNBA getting the next spotlight. Smith’s fear factory is in overdrive, painting Trump as the big bad wolf huffing and puffing at every door.

This operation’s roots go deep, exposing how mob money’s been laundering through sports betting for years. The FBI says the scheme’s profits hit $7 million.

Patel’s presser Thursday morning wasn’t showbiz—it was a declaration of war on the underbelly. He laid out the charges with the precision of a sniper, detailing the alleged crimes.

Smith’s meltdown exposes the fragile egos in the sports media bubble. These talking heads live in a world where stars walk on water and accountability’s a dirty word. But Trump’s America flips that script.

As the dust settles, expect ripples across the NBA. Owners scrambling, agents sweating, and fans demanding clean play.

Patel’s takedown of Smith should be required viewing for every pundit spinning yarns about “authoritarianism.” It’s a reminder that real power lies in upholding the law, not bending it for the powerful.
