For MAGA, Kash Patel's Senate confirmation hearing went off without a hitch, but new revelations strongly suggest that Patel lied to the committee when he claimed to have no role in the recent purge at the FBI.
New information disclosed yesterday details meeting notes of internal Justice Department and FBI officials discussing the purge. According to information obtained by Senator Dick Durbin, multiple whistleblower notes refer to "KP" when discussing the names of those to be fired. In cross examination with Senator Cory Booker, Patel claimed to have no knowledge of the firings. The penalties for perjury can include fines and up to five years in federal prison.
Dangerously unqualified, dangerously compromised.
