A team member for President Donald Trump's FBI director nominee, Kash Patel, pushed back Wednesday on allegations that Patel played a role in the firings of bureau personnel just hours after swearing not to do so during his confirmation hearing late last month – dismissing accusations from the panel's top Democrat as a politically motivated effort to derail his confirmation.
A senior transition team official for Patel refuted the allegations made by the ranking Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat, Dick Durbin, that Patel had orchestrated the firings after his confirmation hearing.
"I have received highly credible information from multiple sources that Kash Patel has been personally directing the ongoing purge of career civil servants at the Federal Bureau of Investigation," Durbin said in the letter to Horowitz.
"Although Mr. Patel is President Trump’s nominee to be FBI Director, he is still a private citizen with no role in government."
Durbin told Fox News last week that their aim in delaying the hearing is to raise more public awareness about Patel’s previous actions, in hopes that doing so will shore up new opposition from some Republicans in the chamber.
Ultimately, lawmakers noted they can only delay Patel's committee vote through next week. Beyond that, they said, it is up to Republicans.

Durbin’s entire state of Illinois is one giant on-going grift and loot-fest.
Mr Durbin is 80 yrs old.
He has never tried to destroy anyone’s reputation.
. . . a politically motivated effort to derail his confirmation.
There is absolutely no constraint on Patel as to what he may recommend. He does not have to authorize and sign the pink slips in order to inform the proper authorities whom he thinks to be rogue.
Nobody cares what this clown dick says. Cash will be sworn in.
Did you forget the /s tag, or are you serious?
Durbin is a pathalogical liar. Name your sources Durbin and put them under oath and a lie detector or your accusations mean nothing.
Why on earth does everything written today need a translation? This is written like his confirmation hearing has already wound down. The excerpt is especially telling about his nomination - so important - if you can figure out what it means!
“”In addition to his trip home to Vegas, Patel has also spent time hunting away from Washington””
Which Republican Senators is Durbin trying to sway? Hopefully Vance will be back in D.C. when it’s time for the vote.
Turdbin had to resort to made up $hit to try to railroad the vote. Couldn’t find any bimbo from 20 years ago to file a complaint against Kash. RATS are so predicable. Their mantra is, it doesn’t matter what the evidence is. It’s the seriousness of the charge that counts.
Fast And Loose is not just a slogan for some people. Irony is just as foreign to Dick as Truth.
“Mr Durbin is 80 yrs old.
He has never tried to destroy anyone’s reputation.”
That is the most absurd thing I have read today
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
please join me in prayer for Patel’s confirmation.
Someone should ask Durbin if he remembers playing the knock out game -er- polo- in the East St. Louis area when he was a kid.
Democrats’ opening gambit is always slander and nothing they say can ever be taken at face value.
Did you forget to take brain medicines today?
Russia, Russia, Russia!
I’d like to hear that Elon Musk sicced his whiz-kids on Durban to root out his illicit money scams.
"Dirty Dick" Durbin is a successful Illinois politician.
Dick Durbin is corrupt.
