Liberals are clinging to the immoral tale that the FBI has been weaponized under Donald Trump — a state that falls off the second you remember that it was Joe Biden who weaponized the Justice Department against Trump and his friends. From bogus studies to the extraordinary attack on Mar-a-Lago, the whole procedure reeked of social despair aimed at stopping Trump from reclaiming the White House.

At a House hearing Wednesday, Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa. ) tried to accuse FBI Director Kash Patel of weaponizing the agency, but the move backfired spectacularly. Patel met Dean’s posturing with strong retorts, and he flipped the text and exposed the political gamesmanship behind her charges.  ,
Patel responded to false accusations of FBI weaponization during a Senate hearing on Thursday, and once again, he wasn’t going to sit silently while Democrats attempted to paint him and the ministry as politically inspired. In a particularly fiery exchange with Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash. ), Patel dismantled her repeated assertions that he was engaged in partisan retribution, flipping the script on the weaponization narrative Democrats love to drive.
Patel began laying out the range of the Bureau’s operate under his command, pointing to dozens of gang-related trials, but Murray wanted to park and interrupted him.
” Well, that’s not my problem”, she interjected. ” We know that you —”
Patel cut through the sounds:” Well, you asked if I was weaponizing the FBI and I am not. I’m giving you the hard, practical example of the men and women putting restraints on poor people doing harm to our kids and honest Americans. I do not see a weaponization”.

Murray, grasping for a opposition, pivoted to the January 6 research. ” But you have placed on left FBI employees accountable for the exploration of January 6. That sounds democratic to me”, she claimed.
Patel didn’t quiver. ” I have never placed people on left who has not violated their moral obligation or their vow to the Constitution”, he said firmly.
” But if they were investigating January 6, you believe they were violating an honest responsibility”? Murray asked, trying afterwards.
” Nope”, Patel replied firmly. ” I think the common concept here is you’re putting comments in my mouth, and I’m not gonna suppress it, nor will the men and women of the FBI”.
Murray finally brought up the Russia collusion ruse because evidently she didn’t get the message that it has been proven to be a ruse:” Well, you did position on left an analyst responsible for investigating Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election. Is that politicization? Is that retribution”?

Again, Patel refused to let the false narrative stand:” No, not if she broke the law or the ethical guidelines. I don’t know which case you’re talking about, but that’s the standard. And we will hold ourselves inwardly accountable, and we will not be strayed from our mission because people think we are politicizing the Bureau”.

Then, in a striking moment that drew attention in the hearing room, Patel turned the tables:” If you want to talk about someone who was attacked by a weaponized Bureau, you’re looking at him. And now he’s the Director of the FBI and he’s cleaning it up”.
Patel had already made it clear: the politicization didn’t start with him, but under his leadership, it ends.  ,
And that’s exactly what has Democrats rattled. Patel isn’t just exposing their abuse of power, he’s dismantling the partisan machinery they’ve relied on to target their political enemies.
