TRUMP

LEMIRE Ken let s ░░░░░░░░ reaction from people you ░░░░░░░░ talked to about this ░░░░░░░░ selection And let s ░░░░░░░░ clear what Patel has ░░░░░░░░ he will do if ░░░░░░░░ were to get this ░░░░░░░░ He would target Trump ░░░░░░░░ political opponents including members ░░░░░░░░ the media He also ░░░░░░░░ he would shut down ░░░░░░░░ headquarters turn it into ░░░░░░░░ museum of the deep ░░░░░░░░ in his words and ░░░░░░░░ purge the roles of ░░░░░░░░ in the preeminent law ░░░░░░░░ agency in this country ░░░░░░░░ is the initial response ░░░░░░░░ to what Patel s ░░░░░░░░ would look like DILANIAN ░░░░░░░░ Jonathan no one would ░░░░░░░░ surprised to know that ░░░░░░░░ at the Justice Department ░░░░░░░░ FBI current and former ░░░░░░░░ horrified people of all ░░░░░░░░ persuasions by the way ░░░░░░░░ this idea And just ░░░░░░░░ be clear about something ░░░░░░░░ proposal that Bill Barr ░░░░░░░░ amounted to a shocking ░░░░░░░░ from reality was to ░░░░░░░░ Kash Patel the deputy ░░░░░░░░ director under Chris Wray ░░░░░░░░ the prior Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ they re talking about ░░░░░░░░ him to lead as ░░░░░░░░ said not only the ░░░░░░░░ powerful law enforcement agency ░░░░░░░░ the country one of ░░░░░░░░ most powerful national security ░░░░░░░░ And I got to ░░░░░░░░ this to our viewers ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ t really understand everything ░░░░░░░░ FBI does The FBI ░░░░░░░░ wields incredible power in ░░░░░░░░ United States And for ░░░░░░░░ who doesn t believe ░░░░░░░░ go read a biography ░░░░░░░░ J Edgar Hoover Now ░░░░░░░░ don t live in ░░░░░░░░ Hoover days anymore but ░░░░░░░░ FBI still they have ░░░░░░░░ who can break into ░░░░░░░░ home and plant a ░░░░░░░░ and you ll never ░░░░░░░░ about it And they ░░░░░░░░ get secret warrants national ░░░░░░░░ warrants to do that ░░░░░░░░ no one will ever ░░░░░░░░ out They can obtain ░░░░░░░░ records of news media ░░░░░░░░ calls and we ll ░░░░░░░░ hear about it assuming ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department set of ░░░░░░░░ on that is overturned ░░░░░░░░ this is an incredibly ░░░░░░░░ job And just at ░░░░░░░░ very basic level Kash ░░░░░░░░ is not qualified for ░░░░░░░░ by objective standards I ░░░░░░░░ past FBI directors the ░░░░░░░░ three have all been ░░░░░░░░ senior officials in the ░░░░░░░░ Department with long experience ░░░░░░░░ prosecutors And then of ░░░░░░░░ you had Louis Freeh ░░░░░░░░ was a career FBI ░░░░░░░░ These are these are ░░░░░░░░ figures in American life ░░░░░░░░ Patel spent several years ░░░░░░░░ a public defender as ░░░░░░░░ said he spent three ░░░░░░░░ in the Justice Department ░░░░░░░░ National Security Division And ░░░░░░░░ went on to say ░░░░░░░░ he was the lead ░░░░░░░░ in the effort to ░░░░░░░░ the Benghazi terrorists to ░░░░░░░░ which just isn t ░░░░░░░░ That s been completely ░░░░░░░░ So leaving aside his ░░░░░░░░ theory beliefs he s ░░░░░░░░ by objective standards not ░░░░░░░░ for this job And ░░░░░░░░ s worth remembering you ░░░░░░░░ how he came to ░░░░░░░░ Trump s attention It ░░░░░░░░ this thing called the ░░░░░░░░ memo that he co ░░░░░░░░ back in 2018 that ░░░░░░░░ looking at how the ░░░░░░░░ obtained FISA warrants on ░░░░░░░░ Page in the Russia ░░░░░░░░ And you know it ░░░░░░░░ worth saying that there ░░░░░░░░ a lot of things ░░░░░░░░ that memo that actually ░░░░░░░░ vindicated by the Justice ░░░░░░░░ inspector general The FBI ░░░░░░░░ make mistakes as David ░░░░░░░░ But the fundamental notion ░░░░░░░░ the Russia investigation was ░░░░░░░░ hoax that s just ░░░░░░░░ That s a conspiracy ░░░░░░░░ And if you don ░░░░░░░░ believe me go read ░░░░░░░░ Senate Intelligence Committee report ░░░░░░░░ in 2000 that was ░░░░░░░░ signed by Marco Rubio ░░░░░░░░ I hope he s ░░░░░░░░ about this at his ░░░░░░░░ hearing because it is ░░░░░░░░ remarkable document that really ░░░░░░░░ people have never seen ░░░░░░░░ t know what it ░░░░░░░░ It was signed off ░░░░░░░░ by the Republican senators ░░░░░░░░ the Intelligence Committee And ░░░░░░░░ said that Russia interfered ░░░░░░░░ the election that the ░░░░░░░░ campaign was open to ░░░░░░░░ efforts and was willing ░░░░░░░░ use the fruits of ░░░░░░░░ interference to help get ░░░░░░░░ And it called that ░░░░░░░░ massive counterintelligence threat So ░░░░░░░░ s Kash Patel s ░░░░░░░░ belief the Russia hoax ░░░░░░░░ it s just flat ░░░░░░░░ guys.”
