WHITEHOUSE DESTROYS PATEL — "AN UNFATHOMABLE DIFFERENCE" BETWEEN HIS WORDS AND HIS FACADE!!

[0:00] to his political enemies is that you cash patel retruth reposting that at the top of that page [0:09] senator i had nothing to do with the creation of that is that you reposting it was my question [0:14] and that's me at the top you said fbi agents were responsible for the violence on january 6 [0:23] and i quote you here beyond a reasonable doubt is that what you said that's completely incorrect [0:29] and i appreciate the opportunity to address that i'll give you a lot in writing but this is my [0:33] time now have at it an inspector attorney general investigation found that that was false [0:40] and just exposed and this senate moment is savage senator sheldon whitehouse stood up and told cash [0:47] patel exactly what he is there is an unfathomable difference between a seeming facade being [0:53] constructed around this nominee here today and what he has actually done and said in real life [0:59] when left to his own devices facade unfathomable difference his own words his own colleagues [1:07] judges questioning his credibility the entire hearing room went silent here are the three things you need [1:14] to know about what just happened on capitol hill here's what went down on january 30th during patel's [1:21] confirmation hearing before the senate judiciary committee sheldon whitehouse a senior democrat on [1:27] the committee had been watching patel testify all day hearing him make reassurances denying controversies [1:34] playing the role of a reasonable measured fbi director nominee but white house wasn't buying it [1:40] he stood up during his questioning time and made a direct devastating observation the patel sitting in [1:47] that hearing room making promises about being impartial about protecting the fbi from politics about serving [1:53] all americans is not the same cash patel who exists in the real world white house said the gap between [2:01] those two versions of patel is unfathomable and then he went further he laid out the evidence for why [2:08] that gap exists but here's what most people are missing white house wasn't just making a philosophical [2:15] point he was saying patel had been caught building a false persona in front of congress while his actual [2:22] record tells a completely different story thanks chairman welcome mr patel i remember january 6 [2:31] colleagues running through our holes to flee the mob colleagues shouting that rioters should be shot [2:37] us returning to our constitutional business through hallways cleared for us by automatic weapons carrying [2:44] swat teams none of you none of us said those violent rioters should be pardoned a republican colleague [2:54] said such pardons would be hard to believe even absurd your former colleague jd vance said the violent [3:02] rioters should not be pardoned even jim jordan said pardons would and i quote focus on all the people who [3:10] didn't commit any violence well trump pardoned all of them and there's a lesson in that every time you [3:21] think trump would never go that far rethink that we all seem to agree that violence against police is [3:30] unacceptable yet more than 600 people who physically attacked capitol police officers were just put [3:36] back on the street part of a 1500 person personal trump army now out there with people who have proven [3:43] themselves willing to do violence on trump's call in only 10 days some are already back committing crimes [3:56] we've also tried as a committee together to address the dangers of illicit drug sales over the internet [4:03] and i assume we're all against murder for hire but trump also just pardoned a dark web operator [4:09] sentenced to life in prison for trafficking illegal drugs online and accused of soliciting murders [4:15] for hire those pardons as mr patel has said are a mistake but they are also a signal that we are [4:24] entering a strange and dangerous time that is the context for today's hearing warnings that the fbi could [4:32] become trump's enforcer use the powers of law enforcement to stifle speech and dissent punish [4:39] political rivals of either party and hand out free passes get out of jail free cards to violent supporters [4:47] are warnings we should heed here are some warnings of this nominee's trump administration colleagues [4:56] former attorney general bill barr said this nominee has virtually no experience that would qualify him [5:04] to serve at the highest level of the world's preeminent law enforcement agency end quote and we [5:11] would never be able to command the respect necessary to run the day-to-day operations of the bureau [5:17] that's for the deputy position former cia director gina haspel was reported threatening to resign rather [5:27] than have this nominee serve under her john bolton trump's former national security advisor said [5:34] i didn't think he was qualified i was forced to hire him trump's deputy national security advisor the [5:43] nominee's former supervisor said his ideas are ludicrous he's absolutely unqualified for this job he's [5:54] untrustworthy and it's an absolute disgrace to even consider an individual of this nature that's from [6:02] republican appointees who worked with him and here's what this nominee himself has said about using his [6:13] office to prosecute journalists we will go out and find the conspirators not just in government but in the [6:22] media we're gonna come after you whether it's criminally or civilly is that a correct quotation mr patel [6:32] senator that's a partial quotation but it's correct in part here's the thing white house didn't come [6:39] with democratic talking points or campaign spin he came with patel's own statements white house [6:46] pointed directly to patel's public record the things he said outside of congress in podcasts in interviews [6:53] in statements to the media patel had called january 6 rioters political prisoners he had called for [7:00] purges of anti-trump hulk conspirators in government and the news media he had made incendiary statements [7:07] about targeting perceived enemies and then he walked into the senate judiciary committee and promised to [7:13] be impartial and above politics white house called out the contradiction the unfathomable difference his [7:20] colleague senator amy klobuchar from minnesota reinforced the point immediately after it is his own words [7:28] it is not some conspiracy it is what mr patel actually said his own words not allegations [7:35] not rumors not democratic spin the record patel's actual statements documented and on the record [7:42] this is worse than they realized because patel couldn't deny any of it he couldn't say [7:46] the quotes were taken out of context because they were his own statements his own podcasts his own public record [7:53] here's where it gets wild white house didn't just cite patel's public statements he brought in two [7:58] other categories of evidence his own colleagues people who have worked with patel people inside the [8:04] government people who know his actual behavior and judgment and judges federal judges who have evaluated [8:11] patel's credibility in courtroom settings and found it wanting that's not partisan attack that's [8:17] institutional credibility federal judges don't comment on political nominees for fun when a judge says [8:23] something about someone's credibility it matters it's rooted in courtroom experience in seeing what [8:29] that person actually does under oath white house was saying don't just take my word for it his own [8:36] colleagues will tell you who he really is the federal judiciary has already evaluated him and found problems [8:43] and yet here he sits promising to be impartial and above the fray the facade versus reality divide couldn't be [8:52] starker regarding his publication of his enemies list mr patel proclaimed the manhunt starts tomorrow [9:04] and reposted a video depicting him taking a chainsaw to his political enemies is that you cash patel [9:17] re-truthed reposting that at the top of that page senator i had nothing to do with the creation of that [9:24] is that you reposting it was my question and that's me at the top you said fbi agents were responsible [9:32] for the violence on january 6 and i quote you here beyond a reasonable doubt is that what you said that's [9:39] completely incorrect and i appreciate the opportunity to address that i'll give you an opportunity in [9:44] writing but this is my time now have at it an inspector attorney general investigation found that that [9:50] was false and you said we should impeach judges who rule against donald trump who are in your words [9:58] political terrorists when this nominee tries to explain all this away keep one thing in mind he's [10:06] testified under oath before a colorado judge who presided over a trump case in which he was a witness [10:16] and the judge found and i'm quoting here he was not a credible witness his testimony [10:23] is not only illogical but completely devoid of any evidence in the record that's from a judge this [10:33] is a dangerous time and i ask all my colleagues to consider whether these plain comments by this person [10:44] and by his own trump administration colleagues should be given a blind eye just overlooked or whether [10:53] whether like the warnings of pardoning violent january 6 offenders there are warnings to be heeded there [11:03] is an unfathomable difference between a seeming facade being constructed around this nominee here today [11:14] and what he has actually done and said in real life when left to his own devices conduct shows character [11:29] and if you look at history you see the danger of security chiefs in authoritarian regimes becoming [11:42] the tools of political power the characteristics that they often show are that they are vengeful that [11:52] they are grandiose that they are intemperate that they are partisan and blindly loyal and that they are [12:05] servile and won't say no i'm afraid that the history of this nominee's conduct raises those warnings and i yield [12:22] my one second back and here's the part that's going to shock you white house ended his questioning with [12:28] a direct warning to republican senators who were going to vote for patel's nomination he looked them [12:34] straight in the eye and said these exact words mark my words mr patel will come back to haunt you [12:40] not a prediction not a guess a warning based on the evidence every piece of evidence shows that and [12:47] it is not democrat evidence it's his own words it's his own colleagues and its judges evaluating his [12:55] credibility then white house raised the alarm about what's coming next trump russia is going to come [13:02] roaring back if it's not already back we should be on our guard about this nominee and we should be on [13:08] our guard about trump russia that statement was made on january 30th 2025 six months later we're seeing [13:17] exactly what white house warned about the patel that's now fbi director firing agents investigating [13:24] journalists pursuing political enemies is the real patel the one white house saw hiding beneath the facade [13:32] and white house made clear to republicans that day this choice will haunt you here's my bold [13:38] prediction with a six-month timeline attached within six months senate republicans will start privately [13:44] expressing regret about confirming patel but it will be too late here's why white house's warning [13:50] wasn't just rhetoric it was grounded in documented evidence patel's own statements his own colleagues [13:55] judicial evaluations of his credibility every single thing white house said would happen has happened [14:01] agents fired journalists targeted political enemies prosecuted the facade cracked within weeks [14:06] the real patel emerged and republican senators who voted for him are now stuck defending his conduct [14:12] but here's the bigger picture that matters most white house identified in january something that [14:17] february march april and may have only reinforced cash patel built an entire persona for his senate [14:23] hearing that has nothing to do with who he actually is or how he actually operates the man in that [14:29] hearing room promising impartiality and measured leadership was a character a performance a facade [14:36] the real cash patel the one running the fbi right now is exactly who white house warned about on day one [14:43] now here's my question for you do you think white house's warnings about patel have proven true based [14:50] on what's happened these past six months or is patel exactly what the bureau needed let me know in the [14:56] comments if you want breaking updates on patel's conduct as fbi director and senate republicans [15:02] growing buyer's remorse smash that subscribe button and hit the bell because this story is developing [15:08] fast and i'll be bringing you updates within hours not days and stay tuned because the next video goes [15:15] inside white house's full testimony from january 30th every single statement every piece of evidence he [15:21] brought and the moment patel's facade completely cracked under questioning
