  1. You see exactly how much their rule of law is worth, and that’ll be a precedent that trickles down

  2. “Mr. Patel. Who has been President in this country for the last 4 years”

    “It was my understanding that there would be no math during the hearings.

    Now, I am prepared to answer any domestic questions, perhaps something about the Deep State, DEI or Tucker Carlson’s favorite baked potato add on?”

  3. These guys…. I guess there was a entire national apparatus in place to steal the election from Trump in 2020 but that same apparatus decided not to engage for Harris and just let the voters decide the 2024 election instead?

  4. trump must have some nasty blackmail on all these people. Just answer the fucking question!

  5. Denying the 2020 election results is a job requirement for a cabinet position.

    This isn’t me making a joke, it was literally a requirement, as reported by the NYT.

  6. Is this what they mean by DEI hiring practices producing subpar individuals in important positions?

  7. We are watching history be rewritten right in front of us

  8. As such… He too will be confirmed. Just like ALL the others. They know they have zero obstacles in the way now that MAGA is running Congress.

  10. Trump stole the 2024 election and is now trying to control the narrative in such a way where he adjusts facts and history so that he also secretly won the 2020 election, in which he literally was charged with trying to commit election fraud.

  13. Pretty sure that’s a requirement to even be nominated.

  15. They need better follow up questions

    Do you know who won the 2020 election? if he says yes,

    Who?

    if he doesn’t answer.

    Did Trump win in 2020?

  16. [NYT: ](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/us/politics/patel-took-fifth-amendment.html)

    *Mr. Patel, a former federal prosecutor, public defender and congressional aide, was questioned in 2022 about his public claims that Mr. Trump had somehow ordered the documents declassified.*

    *At first, Mr. Patel refused to answer, citing his Fifth Amendment rights, according to people familiar with the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe grand jury issues. Prosecutors eventually granted Mr. Patel limited immunity, in order to find out what defense, if any, he might be able to offer for his former boss.*

  17. I hate this shit. After watching some of RFK’s interviews, I can’t help but feel any candidate for any government position should get a strict limit on how many non-personal questions they can refuse to answer before they’re completely out of a job. Not even not getting the position they’re interviewing for, but losing their current position and being disqualified from any government work at all.

    Absolutely ridiculous we let the most powerful people in the world slide with behavior that we would never tolerate from the people we see on a daily basis.

  18. There is a triad where Trump needs absolute loyalty to effectively end our democracy and takeover as a Putin-style dictator. The triad is Bondi-Hegseth-Patel. AG-DoD-FBI.

    Two out of three are already in place. The third, Patel, is critical. He will be the muscle. He will be the tip of the spear on investigations, harassment, imprisonment. He’s already published a 60-person enemies list of political and journalist opposition proving he is ready to go to work for Trump. These are very dark days for our country.

  19. Well then we’re sorry you don’t get the job. It’s just that easy…

  20. he wrote a kids book about how he’s a magical wizard who figured out that they stole the election from King Trump.

    He’d be double embarrasses if he admitted it was legit.

  21. Anyone Trump picks for any position so far refuses to say who won in 2020

  23. Clear and present danger if you cannot answer a simple question.

  24. This guy isn’t qualified to pick up trash. He’s the guy mumbling conspiracy theories you avoid on the subway. You wouldn’t leave him alone with a Happy Meal. And the GOP Senators are going to confirm him without a single dissenting vote. 53 US Senators are going to confirm a lunatic to head the FBI.

    Welcome Kaptain Kracy Kash to the Federal Bureau of Investigation!

  25. I just want to know, if he won in 2020 why was he able to run again?

    I need answers!

  27. If you can’t admit basic facts, maybe running a federal law enforcement agency isn’t the job for you!

  29. None of the health related nominations would answer Bernies ‘is health care a basic human right’. Sounds about right for a trump pick

  31. That should make him automatically disqualified for the job.

  33. So they think the dems rigged it once and then just forgot to do it again?

  34. MAGA are Nazis. I’ve been saying this since the Tramp came down his golden escalator. They don’t care about the rule of law or truth. The whiny little bitch absolutely refused to cede power and didn’t succeed only because our military would not follow his plans. He is now surrounding himself with loyalists who will carry out his future insurrection plans. Study up on the Beer Hall Putsch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch
    The parallels we face to 1920-30’s Germany are astounding.

  36. He also refused to say he would resign if given the ultimatum by Trump of 1) do something illegal or 2) resign. His response was ‘i would never do anything illegal’. He was asked multiple times to clarify, and he gave the same response.

  37. Listen at this point I’m fine with saying he won in 2020 if that means he’s ineligible now and we can replace his ass.

  38. They’re going to rig the investigation and say look, we have evidence. All being fabricated. Treasonous fucks.

  39. That’s the least of my worries. He can’t be allowed to fill this position. Full stop!

  40. Anyone who has survived a high control religion knows what this is. He is telling the in-group that he is one of them, and he can be trusted. It’s no deeper than that.

  41. BTW we are fucked, rules, ethics, logic? Nope they are out the fucking door..

  43. Every meeting should begin with that question. For all of these traitorous fucks.

  45. The democratic party seems to not realize that they’ve basically lost a civil war without fighting a single battle.

  46. “Let the records show that nominee Patel has affirmed, by acknowledging the certification of former President Biden in 2020, that Donald Trump lost the election in 2020.”

    Stuff their bullshit words into their mouths and let every headline show Trump that Patel thinks he lost.

  47. I do not understand why they think the Democrats could steal an election in 2020, but not steal it in 2024. WHILE they are in power.

    Like it’s over. Trump won the election. Can they at least finally admit he lost the previous one?
