Patel might be fired soon. Some of Trump's MAGA advisers don't like him, and have been trying to convince the President to get rid of him.
Patel was never right for this job, and he's not even particularly good at winging it.
There is some current criticism that the FBI was unable to locate Tyler Robinson despite a fairly large amount of evidence, and that ultimately he had to be recognized by his dad and convinced to turn himself in, before law enforcement learned his identity.
Additionally, some questioned why the FBI didn't release Robinson's picture right away, and also why Patel announced the "suspect is in custody", when in reality they only had George Zinn, the old man who falsely took credit for the shooting.
