I couldn't even discern all the insults and accusations that Patel hurled at Schiff.

Patel is a disgrace! He doesn't even understand the nature of the job he supposed to be doing. He lacks any sense of professionalism or respect for the institutions.

Patel was unhinged.

then you have hit your target.

Schiff is an experienced and skilled prosecutor. He knows how to trigger lying clowns like Ka$h.

Who in the administration decided to transfer a convicted sex predator and human trafficker to a minimal security camp not suited for such prisoners?

Patel didn't want answer the question.

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon.
