Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, May 08, 2025

D/FBI Kash Patel melted down after US Congresswoman Madeleine Dean (D-PA, 4th CD) accused him of committing perjury during his Senate confirmation hearing earlier this year. When Patel became obnoxious and belligerent, Congresswoman Dean ends by saying "sadly, this is an unserious moment for the FBI."

The most unqualified man to ever direct the FBI can't maintain his composure when being caught in a lie.

FBI Director Kash Patel Erupts at Democratic Lawmaker Over Capitol Riot
www.newsweek.com

... FBI Director Kash Patel got into a heated back-and-forth with Democratic Representative Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania while testifying before a House Appropriations Committee panel on Wednesday. ...

Patel sparred with Dean while testifying before the House committee panel: "During your Senate confirmation hearings, you repeatedly denied having any involvement, as a private citizen, in the firing of FBI officials who engaged in the prosecution against January 6 insurrectionists, the violent rioters who beat and killed Capitol police officers and whom you referred to as political prisoners," Dean said.

"Since then, multiple whistleblowers have come forward and we know that you likely committed perjury," the Pennsylvania Democrat added. "At the same hearing, you claimed you were not familiar with Stew Peters, an antisemitic Holocaust denier, despite the fact that you appeared on Mr. Peters' podcast eight separate times"eight times"and you claimed not to recall. Mr. Patel, my second question is, should we worry more about your memory or your veracity?"

Patel shot back: "We should worry more about your lack of candor. You're accusing me of committing perjury. Tell the American people how I broke the law and committed a felony. Have the audacity to actually put the facts forward instead of lying for political banter so you can have a 20-second donation hit."

"The answer is both," Dean replied.

"The answer is you're failing," Patel shot back. ...

So, Dir Patel's response seemed to be a deflection from the question asked?

LOL.

You're not thinking of OUR Kash Patel.

You do know the man has not submitted a budget for the FBI and won't say when he's going to?
