"In a recent Senate hearing on how he could possibly be fit to run the nation’s top law enforcement agency, Patel claimed not to be familiar with a far-right podcaster who promotes antisemitism and white supremacism — even though he has been on the man’s podcast eight times.
But hold on, we’re just getting started:
Last week, we found out that Patel has served as a paid agent of the nation of Qatar and failed to identify himself as such under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
He also took $25,000 from a Russia-linked firm to appear in anti-FBI propaganda.
And he admits he owns up to $5 million worth of stock in a gigantic and controversial Chinese company — which he says he will refuse to give up even if he becomes FBI director.
Look, whenever we talk about the FBI, we must acknowledge that as an institution it has a long history of discrimination, corruption, and brutality."
