Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) on Monday pushed an anonymous smear about Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director nominee Kash Patel just days ahead of his confirmation hearing on Thursday.

Turban is at it again.
Senator Durbin is 80 yrs old.

If that doesn’t happen, an immediate censure vote is called. If the vote passes, the legislator is immediately removed from the panel and can no longer be on ANY committee.
Turban Durban needs to be jailed.

The most aptly named man in the Senate.
Dick shows why they call his state “Ill Noise.”
Not so fast! Dick Durbin has evidence that Kash Patel looked at Polymarket, and that is kinda sorta nearly almost betting ... which is against the law in a few places.
There are federal laws against betting on elections, and confirmations are political now. But didn’t dems start political confirmation wars in the Bork days?
😱
Well that does it!
Okay ‘dick’.
