Schiff: Patel’s FBI leadership replaced expertise with ‘rabid partisanship’

Senator Adam Chef, California, criticized a sharp period in the Cash Patel period as director of the Federal Investigation Office on Wednesday, and reported that he saw a deep partisan Patel leadership and a “terrible tragedy” of the sprawling law enforcement agency in the country.

Speaking at a press conference alongside the former spokeswoman of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, extended California, and other Democrats in the House of Representatives, Chef, authored Chef in Patel certificate one day before the Judicial Committee of the Senate-who said Chef for more concerns about politics within the office.

Chef said on Wednesday that the FBI “is the first law enforcement agency in the country, and the world, because they were constantly professional and non -party,” noting that the document relationship that had with the agents of the FBI during the years he spent as a federal prosecutor.

“It is a terrible tragedy,” she said to Fox News Digital. “This is not related to why we are here today.”

His remarks come at a time when Patel appeared in the Capitol Hill on Wednesday for the second day of the martyrdom in front of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Both listening sessions were characterized by sharp interrogation lines from Democrats, who polluted Batl on issues ranging from a wave of shooting at the FBI, the office dealt with Epstein files and politicization fears, among many other things.

Chef, in particular, pressed Patel during his work in the FBI, saying that the agents of the office – who were mostly appointed to his 52 field offices throughout the country and hate to see that their work is Sisima – wanted to know, if any, march orders from Patel from President Donald Trump.

The hot was transferred to the paid match to the screaming match between the two, where Chef pressed Patel repeatedly on the release of the FBI agents and whether these individuals have been removed for political reasons.

For his part, Patel described Chef as a “political clown.”

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Chef said that the appearance of Patel did not do much to alleviate his widespread fears of weapons inside the office.

“You cannot get a vibrant democracy without the rule of law,” Fox News Digital told Fox News Digital. “You cannot have the rule of law if you have the FBI and the Weapons Ministry of Justice – unfortunately, this is what we have here today,” Chef said.

He also formed Patel’s statements yesterday on the files of Epstein – another case that has caused severe criticism from the legislators, after Patel claimed on Tuesday that “there is no reliable evidence” that Jeffrey Ibstein was evading women other than himself.

Chef said that “an amazing claim”, especially from a person previously promoted the belief that Epstein has maintained a wide range of clients of powerful people.

“So it was completely contradictory to everything he said in the past,” he said. He also referred to Patel’s “refusal” to answer his questions about the reason for the refusal of the Deputy Prosecutor Todd Blanche to pressure the Gentleine Maxwell on the cabinet members whom I knew that they were “close” from Epsin or a relationship with him during an interview for two days in July.

“Blanche refused to ask who they are, and only ignored her comment.”

He said: “This, again, the type of inefficiency we see,” adding: “Perhaps incompetence is what I can most described, but it certainly seems to be hidden.”

The Ministry of Justice and the Federal Investigation Office have struggled to calm the growing general pressure on them to issue more information related to the Epstein-which confirms the thorny strength of the story in a quick-motion news course, and among Trump supporters, who were some of the leading voices in demanding information.
