FBI Director Kash Patel recently appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee. It didn’t go well for him — to say the least. He struggled to answer questions about his campaign of retribution at the FBI, where he is illegally firing top-notch agents who investigated Trump. After claiming for years that Epstein had a list of powerful clients for the women he trafficked, he now tried to persuade the American people that the only name on Jeffrey Epstein’s list was … Jeffrey Epstein. But what really set him off was when I asked why Epstein’s co-conspirator was suddenly moved to a minimum security prison after seemingly exonerating Trump. At that point, he just lost it and began screaming at me. This is par for the course for Kash Patel. But it is shameful behavior from anyone, let alone the nation’s FBI Director. I’ve raised red flags about Kash Patel before. He’s spread dangerous, false conspiracy theories about a “deep state” that is unfairly persecuting MAGA world. He’s called for and is conducting a comprehensive “housecleaning” or purge of professionals at the Justice Department. While I served on the House Intelligence Committee, Kash Patel was a major part of the efforts to sabotage a thorough investigation of Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election — and for his work, he was rewarded with a post in the Trump Administration. I could go on, but I think you understand how unfit Kash Patel is to serve as FBI Director. He’s a threat to the critical mission of the Bureau, not to mention the justice system and our democracy — and we need to hold him and the entire Trump administration to account.
We cannot let Trump officials like Kash Patel betray the hard-working men and women of the FBI and our public safety. We must fight back. More soon, Adam  |
