“We’re going to come after you. Whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice, and Steve, this is why they hate us. This is why we’re tyrannical. This is why we’re dictators,” Patel said, suggesting those were terms used sometimes to describe them. “Because we’re actually going to use the Constitution to prosecute them for crimes they said we have always been guilty of but never have.”

Oh boy! This guy sounds totally rational and should be the FBI director! LOL big freedom of speech guy coming after the media. I'm sure the very honorable freedom of speech defenders will take issue with Kash Patel.

Because they're going to prosecute bureaucrats who committed unconstitutional crimes?

Don't feel anyone could listen to this entire interview and feel this guy isn't qualified.

Then why haven't other prosecuted these crimes? Surely there would be a state in which they could get a sympathetic ear?

I think the guy who was involved in a scandal over handling on classified documents should not lead the FBI. (And yes - before anyone gets excited - that means Democrats too, so if there is an instance of them handling classified documents wrong that is disqualifying)
 

GATTACA!

The best was at the end, didn't see that coming.


Does Tulsi really need an FBI background check though? She's still active military, I'd have a feeling if there was something hinky they'd already know about it.
After perpetuating a bunch of bullshit Russian talking points it probably wouldn’t be the worst idea.

Hopefully she doesn’t have the votes to be confirmed anyways.

Calm down. The grown ups are back.

Meh. It wouldn't be the worst thing to question if we're working on illegal biological practices in Ukraine. There's still questions of what went down in Wuhan and what involvement we may have had, and we'll never get answers there because China refuses to be transparent and our government certainly isn't going to own up to anything. If we were doing anything under the table in Ukraine we're certainly going to deny, deny, deny. Our government has shown in the past they're willing to lie on numerous occasions, I have no problem questioning them.

Bottom line, she's a longstanding member of our military with a good record. Hillary starting shit with bogus Russian asset ties in 2020 was ridiculous, throwing a member of our military under the bus on unfounded rumors was uncalled for and she should have apologized.

Nonsense is calling one of our active military members a traitor with no verifiable evidence. Call me when she's guilty of something. Baseless rumors from Hillary Clinton and Meidas Touch don't make one guilty until proven innocent. It would stand to reason if there was actual cause for concern she would have been investigated.

What do you mean rumors? Read the words she said.

I assume you're talking about the bioweapons in Ukraine thing. Asking questions doesn't make you a Russian asset. Again, call me when there's something legit to talk about and not some trumped up bullshit from left wing media. If there was any legitimate connection she would have been investigated awhile ago.

If they keep throwing darts at Russia, one day one will stick and they will shout “I told you so”.

There was a Russian foreign agent arrested in 2022. Had donations to and dealings with exactly one US politician — Tulsi Gabbard.

Russian state media has for years openly bragged about “their friend” Tulsi. She routinely makes public statements that directly mirror Kremlin talking points and releases them at the same time they make the same statements through their surrogates.

If you think this is “well Hillary…” you haven’t been paying attention.

There is a reason Trump won’t consent to the standard FBI background checks for Gaetz and Gabbard.

Okay, if all this is true, why hasn't she been investigated?

Genuinely curious why an active military member would need a background check as well. Trump doesn't waste time doing things to just do things. This is hard for ppl who are used to (maybe even prefer) status quo beaurocracy.

Tulsi was one of first to say we pay for Ukraine biolabs (we do) and that started the media smear. They realized she won't keep quiet about corruption. Nothing of substance will stick to her because nothing of substance has been found.

How do you know she hasn’t been or isn’t currently? No one knew Eric Adams or Menendez was under investigation until they announced charges.

Also, she herself claimed she was on a “watchlist”.

Ask yourself why no FBI background check when in the past every cabinet nominee gets one.

Nah it’s really not that complicated. We always do background checks on cabinet nominees. Gaetz resigns from Congress two days before an ethics report was going to be released suggesting he’s a druggie having sex with minors. Now they’re squashing it and doing no background check.

Tulsi Gabbard … same thing. Nothing to hide then why the special treatment? Why did she claim she was under investigation? Why did an arrested Russian agent donate to her? Why does Russian state media love her so much? If you have to be intentionally obtuse not to be curious.

She wound up on the watchlist after she criticized Kamala in July. That's not fishy or anything.
