Eric Holder: Kash Patel Polygraphing His Officers Is ‘Extremely Disturbing’

EXCERPT:

HOLDER: “Well, first off, to echo what you said, Jen, this is not normal. And the American people need to understand that. These are people at the FBI, at the Justice Department, who dedicate their careers to this nation, the protection of people in this nation. The FBI is one of our premier national security agencies, in addition to everything else that it does, and to have an FBI director who apparently does not trust the people in the FBI, and I suspect the people in the FBI probably do not trust him as well, for him to polygraph people for the — on the bases that have been reported, is extremely disturbing. And I think ought to cost him his job. I didn’t think he was qualified for the job going in, and all the reports that we have seen since he became FBI director have confirmed my belief that he wasn’t qualified to do the job. I mean, you know, the sight of him in the Olympics, you know, slogging down beer when he’s supposed to be in Milan on a business trip. The reports now about having some bourbon branded in his name. I mean, these are all things inconsistent with what we would expect to have a competent FBI director do. And the conduct that he’s engaging in, the polygraphs that he is — he’s making people go through is unbelievably abnormal. And I would think disqualifying.”
