Senator Tom Cotton Says He’s Working with Kash Patel to Investigate James Comey – Trump Supporters Are Not Buying It

One month ago, in late June 2025, Senator Tom Cotton proposed legislation slashing the workforce of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) led by MAGA favorite Tulsi Gabbard.

Cotton proposed cutting the ODNI staff from 1,600 to 650 employees.

This was just weeks before Director Tulsi Gabbard released the first documents proving Barack Obama was intimately involved and calling the shots in the Trump-Russia deep state hoax.

Cotton has also been a staunch supporter in Ukraine’s losing war against Russia despite the fact that the US has spent over $180 billion on the effort and no one knows where all the money went.

So on Saturday, when Senator Cotton announced he was working with FBI Director Kash Patel in a full review of James Comey’s actions during his tenure as FBI Director, Trump supporters were completely skeptical.

Cotton wrote: “James Comey’s bias against President Trump calls into question everything he did as FBI Director. I’m working with Kash Patel on a full review of every FBI action Comey carried out during his tenure as director.

The responses to Cotton’s partnership with Kash Patel were brutal.

Replying to @SenTomCotton Hey @Kash_Patel: don’t give this deep state puppet anything at all.

Tom Cotton will just forward all the info to his deep state friends like Comey and blow the entire investigation.

Cotton is trying to limit Tulsi Gabbard's authority at the DNI as I type this. Cotton needs to keep his hands out of this investigation.

[Sacajaweau]

I have no problem with Cotton working with Patel.

The thread appears to be started as another anti-Trump picks thread.

[RitaOK]

Someone... is setting up Kash associations who reek with “the odor of mendacity”.

I view Kash as savvy enough to recognize who it is. Not sure if it’s Cotton himself or Pam Bondi. The pair remind of Pious Pence.
But, I’ve been wrong before.

Just sayin’.

Trust is around my ankles, after all we’ve seen and experienced, subpoenas flyinf around, with no arrests in sight.

(I have no problem with Cotton working with Patel.)

Why is that after what he been trying to do to Tulsi?

[tennmountainman]

Patel does not need his help.

[Macoozie]

First part of limiting what is to be seen and learned.
Too secret to tell. Too important to reveal. Too dangerous to include.

“Oh that? That’s nothing. Look, look, look at that over there instead.”

Cotton needs to be put in his place.

[Mount Athos]

hey cotton hands off Tulsi

[jimwatx]

Cotton is deep state scum. If he wants to work with Kash what he really wants to do is control the extent of the investigation.

[rod5591]

I don’t understand what role a US Senator has in an FBI investigation...

[glorgau]

> full review of every FBI action Comey carried out during his tenure as director

I love his claiming rights to everything possible. What a clown hack move that practically points an arrow to his weakness.

Please tell me what he did to Tulsi....

Do you have that from a reliable source?

I saw this headline on your conspiracy theory blog...

Let me check.

Should trust the self appointed MAGA influencers who act like they have Top Secret Restricted Data access, revealing the internal soap opera of the administration? Or do I trust Trump and what his people say for themselves in their words and actions?

We went through this the first time Trump was President. The Democrats and mainstream news treated the administration like an open book, allowing no privileged confidence at all. Every rumor presented in the press was taken at face value as long as it made Trump look bad.

I'm not going to fall for the same again just because it comes from the more conservative press.

(Do you have that from a reliable source?)

Yes! Do you not know anything about Conservative Treehouse? The owner, Sundance, is very well versed in the inner workings of the intelligence services in DC. He has great sources. Go to his website and read his articles.

Read and catch up. I don’t have all day to explain everything. I’m at the fishing camp.
