Jaime Raskin ripped Patel at the hearing today

[Quiet Em]

“When Charlie Kirk was assassinated while his killer was still on the loose, you decided you didn't need to be at FBI headquarters in Washington to work with your team while the chaotic manhunt unfolded. “You spent your evening dining in a swanky midtown Manhattan restaurant and tweeting out false information that the subject of the shooting was in custody, a statement you had to retract one hour later,” he continued. “Your performance was so disturbing that even the MAGA base was alarmed.” “The FBI might be able to survive your delusions of grandeur and the explosively volatile temper that was on display yesterday in the Senate. But the intractable problem is that you are running the FBI not as a law enforcement agency charged with keeping the American people safe, but as a political enforcement agency working directly for the president's vengeance campaign,”

“You want an FBI blindly loyal to Trump so you can continue your cover-up of a massive international sex trafficking ring with more than 1,000 victims, betraying all of the survivors of the sexual violence”

"In a few short months, how did you go from being a crusader for accountability and transparency with the Epstein files to being part of the conspiracy and coverup? The answer is simple. You said it yourself -- because of who is on that list."

1. Look at the stupid look on that asshole's face

The good news is somebody is exposing them for what they are, bad news is not a goddamn thing will be done about it.

[ancianita]

3. Yep. Because

now he knows that he's fooling no one about his incompetence & complicity but himself. Historians and reporters can find records of these committee hearings in the Daily Digest section of the Congressional Record.

5. Not enough cocaine in the world to give him a normal look.

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. Hilarious

11. Cash needs to be gone . as in forever gone.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Almost like he botoxed it on. Also "fish out of water" face -- someone in over their head, deer in headlights, etc. .nt

[some_of_us_are_sane]

24. "deer in headlights".......EXACTLY!

He's a frightened, easily provoked LITTLE PUKE with NO SPINE whatsoever.

[Irish_Dem]

2. Somebody got their assed kick big time.

A thing of beauty.

4. Thank you for posting this, Quiet Em.

For all the hair on fire and screaming that DEMOCRATS NEED TO DO SOMETHING!!!!! they need to watch them actually doing their ****ing jobs!

I watch the Senate hearings, as do you. I saw Schiff and Welch (yesterday someone said he needs to be primaried for not answering a question to their liking) rip Patel a new one as well.

They and many others are doing everything within their power as a minority party to hit back. Sadly "according to the polls" they have little to no support from the democratic electorate. There is a lot of disinformation going on out there and much of it being fed to the electorate by Russia and other players that want us to fail.

I am not buying it, I support Democrats, period.

13. Thanks for calling it D...

Disinformation, she² because this is deliberate and is a major part of the "war" we need to win.

If all that can be done is to uncover, demand and record the truth we need to do it.

Few things are more valuable right now than the truth.

"The truth, the whole truth and..."

❤️

[sheshe2]

14. I read some things about the spread of disinformation.

It is a coordinated effort by our enemies to attack Democrats and sadly to many people are buying into it.

I do not believe that people are disillusioned with our party or are leaving in droves. This is what our damaged media wants us to believe. That is what our enemies want us to believe to suppress the vote. If this were true then why are we winning these primaries by HUGE numbers?

[littlemissmartypants]

21. HEAR!! HEAR!! ❤️🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸❤️

18. Patel's behavior toward Senate Democrats yesterday

especially Sen. Schiff showed him to be the vile MAGAt he is. And is there anyone more useless than Chuck Grassley?

[littlemissmartypants]

22. Today is Chuck Grassley's 92nd birthday...

Waaaaay past his sell-by-date. He slurs his speech so bad he sounds drunk. He may be day drinking. If I was 92 I probably would. 😆

25. Patel was playing to ONE as his audience....

.....he wanted to make DADDY TRUMP proud of his little lapdog.

[Johonny]

7. Had Patel behaved professionally yesterday

He might have had an easier day today. No democrat wants to shit post on a government official during a hearing, but once you've shit posted the elected people questioning you, be prepared to be skewered.

[LymphocyteLover]

8. Raskin is the best

[dalton99a]

9. Kick

[PatSeg]

10. He is such a creepy looking man

He makes my skin crawl.

[rubbersole]

15. I'm surprised tsf hasn't dumped him yet.

Probably because he's seen the Epstine files.

[PatSeg]

26. I'm surprised Trump ever nominated him in the first place

Trump is so obsessed with optics (except for himself of course) and everything about Patel's image is so unlike the image Trump prefers. I still can't figure out how Vance got away with all that facial hair. Trump hates facial hair.

[BattleRow]

30. Coincidentally,Kash is Indian as well as Vances wife

[PatSeg]

31. With Trump, I guess there is an exception

for every rule. Probably depends on how much ass-kissing is involved.

[BattleRow]

32. Which gives pause to wonder .

Who is kissing whom's?

[PatSeg]

34. Good point

With this administration, there are a lot of secrets and lies, giving many people the opportunity resort to a bit of blackmail.

It is so exhausting. Can't people try and do the right thing? I just don't understand the mentality of these people.

[littlemissmartypants]

23. You're not alone. ❤️

[yellow dahlia]

35. It is one of the prerequisites to being part of the "take over" team.

[PatSeg]

36. It appears that's the case

Of course as a woman, I must say I find most republican men rather creepy and sleazy.

[AverageOldGuy]

12. A few suggestions

1. The Minority Leader of the House could introduce articles of impeachment.

2. House and Senate Democratic leaders could hold press conferences on the Capitol steps.

I'm not holding my breath until either of these happens.

[ananda]

16. Well said!

Raskin rocks!

[BoRaGard]

19. Thank you Rep. Raskin

[Aviation Pro]

20. Raskin slapped that DEI hire....

...into next Tuesday.

[BattleRow]

28. Of next year...

[Dave Id]

27. Jamie Raskin vs Patel

Can you say awkward? Patel had a deer in the headlights look all through Jamie Raskin's dress down of him.

[BattleRow]

29. Lincoln said that if you want to test a man's character,give him power.

[Skittles]

33. PREACH IT JAMIE

[Gimpyknee]

37. Patel is on my list of most punchable faces.

Stephen Miller, naturally, tops the list.

[electric_blue68]

38. TY Rep Raskin and Quiet Em!
