JUST IN: FBI Director Kash Patel calls Democrat Adam Schiff the "biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate" to his face.

"You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate. You are a disgrace to this institution and an utter coward."

"I'm not surprised that you continue to lie from your perch and put on a show so you can go raise money for your charade. You are a political buffoon at best."

~~~~ TRANSCRIPT of Patel's statement BEGINS - both men talk over each other throughout so I captured all of Patel's words and only caught a few of Schiffs when Patel wasn't speaking)

Adam Schiff:  .....t the American people believe that? Do you think they're stupid?

Kash Patel: No. I think the American people believe the truth, that I'm not in the weeds on the everyday (ransomnote: Shiff begins talking loudly over Kash's from this point on) movements of inmates.

What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historic reform, combatting the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you, and we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in RussiaGate, in January 6.

You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate. You are a disgrace to this institution and an utter coward.

Adam Schiff: I'm not suprised...(ransomnote: he continues talking when Kash interjects the following)

Kash Patel: I'm not suprised that you continue to lie from your perch (ransomnote: gaveling begins and continues frantically as the men talk over each other) and put on a show so you can go raise money for your charade. You are a political buffoon at best.

Adam Schiff: Well you can take...(continues talking)

Kash Patel: Take it to the bank that the FBI is protecting this country and the state and citizens of California.

(ransomnote: Adam Schiff's mic is cut off, heavy gaveling resumes)

We are bringing historic reform, historic, but all you care about is a child sex predator that was prosecuted by a prior administration, and the Obama Justice Department, and the Biden Justice Department did squat.

And what did President Trump do? Bring new charges courageously. And what have we done? (Voice: Mr. Chairman take control...) You said I'm the most transparent FBI director in history. Thirty-three thousand pages of information to you. I challenge you to say anything, credibly, to the truth. Go ahead and run to the cameras where you want to go now.

(ransomnote: I don't know why the gavel didn't break at this point)

Voice: Both of you be quiet!

I went back and listened to whatever I could understand of Adam Schiff's remarks. Most of his content is conveyed in his contemptuous speech and facial expresssions. The gist of his remarks were that he was incredulous that Kash didn't have first hand knowledge of the transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell and he repeatedly said the FBI Director was just an internet troll.

This is why we need to keep the house and senate. Yes even Collins for goodness sake! Republicans with even a wobbly majority get to run committees! That is important!!!!!

[Da Coyote]

Schiff is a sniveling bag of talking excrement. He does serve a purpose in that he is evidence that the DemocRATs have no standards. Zip, zero, nada.

I have to wonder if Kash's taking on head for his weak handling of the Epstein situaiton and then the Kirk assasination didn't spark him to throw meaningless but feel-good red meat at us MAGA guys who fully supported him and may be starting to feel a little buyers remorse with him.

For me, until I see some arrests to match their big mouths, Bondi and Kash are in the penalty box.

I like that Patel is calling Schiff out here and there as someone who frequently lies, but Kash should take care not to appear too easily provoked into a shrill, frothing rage over basic questioning, annoying though the questions are.
Was it Mark Twain who said, be careful getting into a mud fight with a Hog. Both get dirty, and the Hog loves it.

I have to wonder if Kash's taking on headHEAT for...

Had to fix that unfortunate typo.

I don’t know. There have been so many.

I take back all the bad stuff I’ve said about Patel. This is epic.

[wafflehouse]

this is all political theater, i hope you arent trying to get anything intelligent out of it

[Paperpusher]

Patel is wrong, Schiff is not the biggest fraud to ever sit in the US Senate. Patel forgot about Joe Biden.
