Democrats succeeded Thursday in delaying a committee vote to advance the confirmation of FBI director nominee Kash Patel until next week at least.
The vote, which was slated to happen at 10:15 a.m. on Thursday, was pushed to next week after Senate Democrats demanded a second hearing from the Trump-aligned former Defense Department official, citing concerns about his previous remarks and candor.
In a statement Tuesday night, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa., said attempts by top Judiciary Democrat Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and others to force Patel to testify again were "baseless" as he already sat before the committee for more than five hours and disclosed "thousands of pages" of records to the panel, as well as nearly 150 pages of responses to lawmakers' written questions.

Translation: they don’t want the FBI to start making arrests over the grift money recipients that Musk is discovering.
recess appoint him. We are at war.
On what basis does the minority demand anything from the Majority.
I don’t understand it either. Perhaps someone on this forum can explain.
FBI needs more time to shred stuff and get stories straight. Bondi should immediately close and lock the doors until Patel is confirmed. She is the boss.
In response, new AG Bondi should move up the release of the Epstein files to TODAY.
This laundry makes USAID look like a lemonade stand.
Mechanism is probably stays that each Senator can invoke for some period of time. They could stack them up.
Screw the RATS. Those worthless POS are just looking for something, anything to cheer about. When were the bastards on the left ever concerned about U.S. security? That’s a joke. They assisted with the invasion of America by 20 million criminals and terrorists. Keep the lousy RATS on their losing streak. Don’t give up. We need Patel in there to help us get these DemonRAT slobs out of America.
Danger to US security?! Beavens to Hetsy! NO! It’s not like he let millions of unvetted foreigners just waltz on it, is it? Or allowed the proliferation of a killer drug. Is it? How ‘bout that terrorist watch list. Seen anybody coming across the border lately?
They can one time. He will be confirmed next thirsday.
They mean a danger to their communist agenda
Senate rules. They can stall, and ask for donations from loonies, but they can’t stop Kash.
Pure effery
Actually their big concern is that Patel wil politicize the FBI against Democrats and their allies like Garland and Wray did against Republicans and conservatives. As usual, they accuse others of what they themselves have done and will do in the future.
Too bad the repubs can’t pull a 2020 election trick and vote at night after all the dems go home
