Kash Patel, who President Donald Trump chosen to operate the FBI, is a past promotion of the right wing conspiracy theory to pursue retaliation of Trump on Thursday in his battle confirmation of confirmation of the Senate. I neglected his pledge.
Democratic members of the Senate judicial committee have praised the mob of the US Council on January 6, 2021, the public courts of his influencers in the Canon conspiracy movement, and the current and previous judicial. I tried to fix Patel to my past comments that praise my promise of going after the Ministry of Justice and the former Ministry of Justice. FBI officials once wrote a list of “corrupt actors”.
In the past, Republican members have never publicized the opposition to Patel’s nomination, and no one has raised concerns in hearing. Democratic Senator baked Patel throughout the day, claiming that they were messing around the old comments to make him look bad.
The role of the FBI director is considered to be a 10 -year term of isolation from politics. After winning in November, Ray resigned as Trump announced that he would dismiss FBI’s Chief Chrisley. As a result, PATEL is now on a clear path to lead the FBI.
What you need to know about the hearing on Thursday is as follows.
Retalysis was a comprehensive theme of the day.
Democratic members returned to Patel’s sufficiently documented records in television interviews, podcasts, his books and social media posts.
They raised concerns about Patel’s 2023 book “Government’s Gangster”, which is called “enemy list.” CNN reported that some of the 60 staff on the list had taken dramatic measures to protect their families, and feared Patel’s power of his FBI as a weapon. There is.
“I have no interest or desire. I will not retreat if confirmed,” Patel said. “There is no politics in the FBI. There is no retaliation action acquired by the FBI.”
Patel later said, “It’s not an enemy list. It’s a completely wrong feature.”
Before the hearing, some advisors encouraged Patel to express his regrets on his comments on the people on his list. He did not take that path during the hearing.
During the hearing, CNN reported that some advanced FBI leaders promoted by Ray were demoted or re -assigned, giving the fear of internal accusations. Patel said at a hearing on Thursday that he did not know the plan to punish the FBI agent involved in various Trump Prove, saying that no one would be fired for the assignment of the case.
Despite Patel saying he didn’t want to see it backwards, the Republican members of the Diet recommended him to do it. They were dissatisfied with the 2016 Trump Russian investigation, Hunter Biden investigation, and other behaviors that seemed to have been motivated by anti -Trump bias.
Senator GOP, Chairman of the Justice Committee, said in his opening statement, the FBI leader who previously investigated the Ministry of Justice and Trump, “I haven’t learned lessons yet, so the lesson for them. I hope you will learn.
In the latter half of the hearing, Senator John Kennedy, Senator GOP in Louisiana, asked Patel as follows.
“If someone is wrong in the Senator and government services, the Americans will be worthwhile to know all the absolute details of their corrupt activities,” Patel replied.
These survey lines, which are hoping to pursue Patel, will probably raise the collision between the FBI, which was also involved in Russian surveys, and the Patel in the other US Intelligence. Patel and these institutions have been intertwined with this topic and other topics for many years.
In a question from the Democratic Party, Patel opposes the Trump conflict released from hundreds of prisoners of the riot on January 6, which attacked police officers.
“I don’t agree with commuting for individuals who have violated the law enforcement agency,” he infringed with Trump.
On the first day of Trump’s inauguration, he forgoted more than 1,200 convicted violent attackers and committed 14 prisoners related to the extremely right extremist group. These tolerant actions have released hundreds of violent riots, including many people who assaulted the police.
“On January 6, I repeatedly, I was, often, publicly, and personally, I had never been tolerant of violence against law execution,” Patel told the Diet.
But the Democratic Party claimed that his comment was dishonest. Because he collected funds for the defendant on January 6.

At the topic on January 6, Patel and California Senator Adam Siff had a combat. He has been in a logger head for nearly 10 years and dates back to both the House Information Committee’s services during Trump’s first term.
Shifu stands up Patel and apologizes to the police officer of the US Council of Congress for “protecting you today.” Patel declined and said, “Why don’t you ask them if I have their back?”
Patel believes that he is “unfounded” in spite of the past praise for a movement that promotes the wrong concept of a top Democratic member steering the Kabal of Pediatric Love. He said he believed that he was “unfounded,” and argued against the Democratic claim that he was a “conspiracy theory.”
“Including the interview provided to this committee, I rejected the unattrated conspiracy theory of QANON … they must be truly in front of them, and I will continue to do it.”
The Canon Conspiracy theory appeared during the first term of Trump. The supporters argued that Trump has been selected by God to destroy the “deep nation” network of celebrities who worship democratic politicians, decayed government officials, Satan, and sexually abuse children. 。
Patel’s direct refusal was a very different approach than his past.
He had previously sought a part of the Qanon community. In the 2022 Protand Podcast, Patel said: “Q is moving. Many people are obsessed with it. I don’t agree with many of the movements, but I agree that many of the movements say.”
CNN has previously reported that some members of the Qanon community, including multiple right -wing influencers and pod casters, are excited about Patel’s FBI nomination.
He also complained that he was incorrectly quoted and twisted his words about Canon, as the Democratic Party went all day all day. He repeatedly told the Democratic Party and refused to answer many questions by repeatedly saying, “There is no complete quotation before me.”
“The fragments of information are often misleading,” Patel said at some point.
He repeatedly stated that he would concentrate on other topics, such as hunt drug trafficking, hunt gangs and rape, and maintain safety from foreign terrorism.
