On the recordApril 29, 2026
Kash Patel has been using government resources to chauffeur his girlfriend all over the country. Then when it was learned by the press that he was doing that, there was an article about it. When he got mad about it, rather than say: Well, yeah, maybe there is a problem using an FBI SWAT team to shepherd my girlfriend around the country. Instead of changing the policy, he decided to go after the reporter and search the databases on the FBI. This is while we are debating FISA. If you need any more vivid demonstration... of the danger of allowing law enforcement officials to govern themselves and to regulate whether or not they are violating the Constitution, check that out. We may disagree a lot about this FBI director's record. That is not directly relevant to this point. Say you trust him, we don't, but we know you haven't trusted other people in the office before... the reason why we have to hold fast to the Constitution is precisely because we are all imperfect beings.
