The FBI has traditionally had a zero-tolerance approach to unauthorized use of alcohol on the job and for its misuse while off duty. But that standard is bending under Patel’s leadership, one former agent told me. “It is so weird and uncomfortable,” this person said. Another former agent described the bottles as “demoralizing,” because they suggest one set of standards for the director and another for the rest of the bureau.
One might bet that the makers of Woodford Reserve are less than please to be publicly linked to the Trump Administration's shorter alcohol abuser.
The article notes that FBI agents are worried about the reputational damage that Patel is doing to the agency. IMO, that ship has sailed.
