Patel Testimony: "I'm not aware" of purge inside DOJ/FBI and "don't know what's going on."
Whistleblowers tell Senate that Patel was directing the purge! Contemporaneous note: “KP wants movement at FBI, reciprocal actions for DOJ”
Ranking Member Durbin's letter to Inspector General notes even setting aside potential perjury, explosive nature of Patel, outside of government, potentially directing the purge itself. It puts this piece I recently wrote into overdrive. Key GOP Senators may now bulk at idea of his leading FBI.
Written responses to questions for the record: @padilla.senate.gov: "Did you approve or have any role in the decision to terminate these senior FBI employees?" Patel: "No."
Ranking Member Sen. Durbin's letter with whistleblower accounts to the contrary.
SEN BLUMENTHAL: On the evening of January 30, 2025 ... it was reported that several senior F.B.I. officials ... had been told to resign or face dismissal. At the time of your testimony, were you aware of these personnel decisions? PATEL: Not that I recall.
More in written responses to Senator Blumenthal. SEN BLUMENTHAL: At the time of your testimony, were you aware of any other plans to dismiss any F.B.I. personnel? If so, please describe the personnel plans of which you were aware. PATEL: Not that I recall.
Also of relevance, though not as direct a problem. Kash Patel's written response to Questions for the Record by Ranking Member Senator Durbin.
