Cash Patel, the 46-year-old FBI director, has a couple of old arrest resurfacing that could spill trouble for his job. Back when he was a law student, he got busted for public urination after hitting some bars and walking home drunk with friends. Cops pulled up before anything happened, and he just paid a fine.

He admitted to two drinks, got too rowdy cheering, and ended up escorted out by security. That one stuck as a misdemeanor with another fine. People are buzzing about his behavior now, especially after a viral video showed him chugging a beer with the US Olympic team in Italy post-victory over Canada.

With President Trump reportedly furious over the optics, insider's whisper, it's only a matter of time before Patel gets the boot, leaving everyone. Watching how this plays out in DC.
