Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island ) questioned Pam Bondi about her willingness to sign on to an enemies record during the Senate confirmation hearing for Matt Gates, Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee for Matt Gates. Whitehouse inquired whether she would have hired people who she knew had an rivals list without mentioning Kash Patel.
” Senator, to cut to the chase, you are obviously talking about Kash Patel. I don’t think he has an rivals list. He quoted a statement from a TV show that I have no heard… But I know Kash Patel has had 60 judge testing as a public keeper, and as a prosecutor. He has excellent knowledge in the apple office, division of defence”, Pam Bondi said.
When Bondi was questioned about whether she would always put an “evils listing” on the DOJ, Bondi replied that there would never be such a thing.
What conditions will you use to indict journalists who write? Whitehouse said. ” Just if someone commits a crime”, Pam Bondi said.
In his 2023 book,” Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy”, Kash Patel, the FBI chief pick for Donald Trump administration, laid out his case against what he refers to as” the deep state” — an amorphous term he says includes elected leaders, journalists, Big Tech tycoons and “members of the unelected bureaucracy” — calling for” a comprehensive housecleaning” of the Justice Department, which he claims has protected high-ranking members of the Democratic Party while unjustly targeting Republicans and their allies.
According to commercial endorsements, Trump has praised the text as a “blueprint to get back the White House and replace these Criminals from all of Government.”
The record of 60 people includes Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Obama’s chief of staff John Podesta, former attorney general Bill Barr etc.
