Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) expressed strong opposition to President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel for the position of FBI director. Schiff characterized Patel’s nomination as “an easy one” to disapprove of and urged the Senate not to confirm him. He raised concerns about Patel’s qualifications and suitability for the critical role of leading the FBI, a position that demands integrity, impartiality, and a commitment to upholding the law. Schiff’s remarks reflect broader apprehensions among some lawmakers regarding Trump’s choices for key government positions, particularly in law enforcement agencies. The senator’s stance highlights the ongoing partisan tensions in the Senate as confirmation hearings approach, with Democrats likely to scrutinize nominees closely. As the political landscape evolves, Schiff’s vocal dissent serves as a reminder of the scrutiny facing Trump’s appointments, especially those involving significant responsibilities such as overseeing the FBI. The confirmation process will be crucial in determining whether Patel’s nomination will proceed, as various lawmakers weigh the implications of his potential leadership on the agency.

So you mean that the people running the FBI appointed by this administration don’t know what they are doing?

Schiff should never have been elected. He doesn’t want Patel looking into his lies.
