Today, FBI Director Kash Patel testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee who are conducting oversight of the bureau. The testimony comes as FBI Director Patel is under scrutiny for his personal indulgences as the FBI leader while individuals inside the institution seemingly retain a rogue internal outlook.
The testimony begins at 9:30am ET, with Livestream Links Below:

He treats everything as a personal attack even when it is constructive criticism. It is his blind spot and keeps him from seeing corruption.
Blind spot?
or
Premeditated defense?
I know this it the Senate Judiciary Committee … however … Jim Jordon stepped down from the House Judiciary Committee and removed himself from consideration for leading the House Oversight Committee.
While many may say “no loss’ or talk derisively of Jordon … in fairness he does have several REFERRALS still gathering dust at the DoJ … he did speak out and what actions has Speaker Johnson Taken to support him??
There is a something ominous coming and the House may not be so aligned to help the President. If nothing else, it is the start of a string of “Testimonial Hearings” to be conducted before November 2026 meant to embarrass and discredit the President.
May not?
I think that’s a given.
Aka … the Permanent Professional Loyal Opposition.
We can tell by their silence, which has been always said to be golden.
In their case, it is damning.
The sad part is that I can actually see that happening.
Life was easier when I was completely ignorant of politics.
Sigh.
The next time something happens as a result of a Jordan hearing will be the first time.
So, what actions can Jim Jordan take, if the DoJ does not act and he is not supported by the Speaker of the House nor House Rules (See Nancy Pelosi 2018)???
Oh ya, go to the media … well he has and what has that accomplished without any backing???
His appearance on the media have also dwindled.
It is true that Jordan, et al, can only refer someone to the Department of Justice for prosecution. After that, it’s out of their hands. People tend to forget that when, as is so often the case, no criminal prosecution follows upon the revelation of criminal activity.
Imagine “leading” the FBLie—ugh!
Please, Lord, please, will someone ask him how many FBI inbeds were at the Capital on January 6, 2021?
Didn’t they already admit to sending a couple hundred fbi into the Capitol to infiltrate Trump’s supporters on January 6?
I think so–reluctantly, after as much obfuscation and mendacity as could be managed.
Say what you want our effdup country has no oversight or accountability.
“Patel is under scrutiny for his personal indulgences…”
That was part of his payoff. Why are they acting surprised?
That Senator Kennedy from Louisiana’s line of questioning is outrageously moronic.
0.o
He seems to have abandoned his usual shuck and jive routine and assumed a Nervous Nelly persona.
0.o
Conducting “oversight”??
I don’t believe so…
This close to the midterms?
Each committee member will use his or her opportunity to pose, preen, and campaign for the ” folks” back home.
Their five minutes of “moral” outrage and self glorification.
Just as with the members of every other “oversight” committee.
(See the billion$$$$ in fraud achieved right under their noses.)
They could be doing oversight on why so much fraud in Medicaid (Illegals collecting all of the money). How about oversight of offshore money accounts of the thousands of NGOs using tax exempt status to increase our taxes so they don’t have to pay taxes.
Or tax exempt Churches taking political payments and preaching politics from the pulpit. The Mosques all do it and everyone knows they do.
Congressional soundbites to be used in re-election commercials.
Members of Congress must have a bet among themselves to see which one can tell the public the most lies. My money is on Thune.
Not a hearing.
It’s a election campaign clip generator, pretend work, and senate time waster. Everybody in the room is worse than worthless.
People get sideways about Thune, but Thune is the paid punching-bag. It’s all 53 of these GOP senate assholes. They could replace Thune in a day if they wanted to. They don’t want to. They are ALL doing what they know has to be done. Trump has to be stopped. Now they want your vote in 8 weeks.
Yup, Grassley was right in there with the “holding the senate hostage”. When they kept IT in session so no recess appointments …
What do they do? to get them (rinos) hooked/inline.
Drug them, take pictures of them with who knows what… how do they do it.
Are the lobbyist showing up with knives?
Please tell us.
Making negative work. It is what bureaucrats do.
What a joke he has turned out to be…gov gangsters! Indeed!
Patel walked into a burning building at the FBI. He knew it was burning before he took the job. He also knew what the deep-state had on him to keep him in-line before he was sworn-in. That being said, what has he done about open-air election fraud? What has he done about domestic terrorism and the groups and money behind it? What has he done about exposing the total lie of J6 where people’s lives were destroyed by a corrupt government agency(s)? What about the multiple Trump assassination attempts and the murder of Charlie Kirk? Lone gunman crap? On and on we could go.
Trump picked these people. Blonde lasted 1 year before he canned her useless ass. Patel has lasted longer than I thought he would, but Trump will be forced to fire him at some point soon. Trump said it during his campaign: “this is our last chance to save America”. Only Trump is working to do that. Everyone else is screwing the pooch and crossing days off the calendar until the crazy old man is gone.
Every government agency in existence today, including the Judiciary, is a burning building. The SC ruling yesterday proves to me they want Democrats to cheat in the election.
i recognise some the old fossils in the front row, but who are those arab looking plonkers in the 2Nd and 3rd rows?
LOL, they keep the front row in-line
Plonkers….!!??
That just seemed like the correct usage of a never-heard before word. Good one.
Grassley is in his 90s and the rest of the mental giants up above Patel are not far behind. It is such a waste of everyone’s time and energy.
This hearing stuff is THE ONLY thing any of them ever want to do. They seem to think attacking a Republican head of any Bureau is their job. Why do we put up with this charade decade after decade? Communism is worse I know but this seems like Communism called Republican form of Government.
They all agree with each other behind closed doors. If they don’t agree they will not be there for more than one term.
Could SOMEBODY please ask him about Ray Epps? Was he an informant? If so, for whom? I thought we’d get the answer to this on Jan. 21, 2025.
How can you claim oversight when you are clueless about what is happening within the FBI on a day to day basis?
It is well known that it is the Senator’s aids that actually write the questions and remarks. We discovered this in the past when several aids were actually mouthing them as the Senators were delivering them.
I mention this because of the lower picture of them sitting behind their Senators. They have very sour looks on their face. It does not bode well if these are the people who really run the Senate for the lobbyists.
It may not be popular to say this, but there have been a string of good results from the FBI lately. If you watch the news conferences you know this. Investigations take time and whomever sits in the Directors chair as a Republican is going to face a tsunami of resistance.
Ask Kash why didn’t he assign FBI Agents with the teams of ICE Agents in Minneapolis when ICE was being attacked daily by ANTIFA.
The FBI has 20,000 Agents so what other were they doing that was so important?
Whose words is Blumenthal reading? Why is he perspiring so much?
He did mention he’d been to Ukraine ELEVEN times… for what purpose? I sense he’s panicked… what is he so concerned about the American people KNOWING about him and his fellow distracters, accusers, and grifter$ ????
I value my health and sanity to ever watch these $hiteshows again. 🤪
