Kash Patel Shreds Adam Schiff: “You Are the Biggest Fraud in the Senate”
“You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate.”
Democrat Senator Adam Schiff tried to corner FBI Director Kash Patel on Capitol Hill, but the exchange quickly turned against him. Instead of backing down, Patel tore into Schiff’s record of falsehoods about Russiagate and January 6.
The clash turned fiery almost immediately.
[Transcript edited for clarity]
Patel:
What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historical reform and combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you and we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in Russiagate in January 6th. You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate. You are a disgrace to this system and an utter coward.
Patel:
I’m not surprised that you continue to lie from your perch and put on a show so you can go raise money for your charade. You are [a] political buffoon at best.
CROSSTALK
Schiff (D-CA):
Well, you can take…
Patel:
…take it to the bank that the FBI is protecting this country, and the state and citizens of California.
Patel:
All you care about is a child sex predator that was prosecuted by a prior administration and the Obama Justice Department and the Biden Justice Department did squat. And what did President Trump do? Bring new charges courageously, and what have we done? Transparent. FBI director in history, 33,000 pages of information to you. I challenge you to say anything credibly to the truth. Go ahead and run to the cameras where you want to go now.
Grassley (gaveling):
You be quiet. You.
Watch the moment for yourself:
JUST IN: FBI Director Kash Patel calls Democrat Adam Schiff the "biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate" to his face.
"You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate. You are a disgrace to this institution and an utter coward."

For a lawmaker who has built his brand on TV cameras and discredited claims, Schiff once again showed why he remains one of the least reliable voices in Congress.

What makes this especially delicious is that Senator Pencilneck posted a video on X yesterday gloating about how he was going to get Patel.
How’d that go for you, Senator?
Justice delayed is justice denied and we’re still waiting for Pencilneck to be tried for mortgage fraud
Patel would have done better to have said nothing while staring in cold faced contempt and disgust. Let Schiff run out the clock, shake your head, and move on to a friendly questioner. Schiff was delighted by this, and Patel lowered himself by engaging.
Patel did what I have wanted witnesses to do for decades. Instead of sitting silently while being lied about and harangued by a politician, speak out, push back and don’t take their shit. They’re only doing it for media soundbites and every time you can deny them a soundbite, the better off we all are. They are being unprofessional, they start the fights, there’s no reason why anyone should have to be their punching bags.
You either have class or you don’t. Just because you’re forced to appear on the Jerry Springer show doesn’t mean you have to throw chairs.
You are correct. What I’m really waiting to see is for a witness to say back to some congressman or Senator to claim that they deserve some sort of respect when being replied to. Then have the witness say to them that the senator of congressman are there to serve their constituents and by extension the people of the United States. They are not there to be bowed down to as if they were royalty.
I think your correct. If Patel is talking the uninterrupted speech for sound bites is denied. I’m glad Trump’s administration is sitting in these hearings with pompous corrupt asses like Schiff and coming right back at them making the Senators and Congressmen look like fools. Grassley changed the rules for a reason.
I don’t think so. Illustrating what performative mental midgets Democrats are serves a great purpose. He is denying unfettered sound bites which would allow the Dems to set the narrative. I’m just surprised that 6 months in Democrats haven’t seemed to grasp that they better come prepared with more than empty words and accusations. I for one am quite entertained
Scott Bessent does that without demeaning himself.
He didn’t demean himself, just stop your ridiculous preening.
You can judge who’s most right by the elevation of their respective chairs.
That’s done to show the little people they are subservient to the Congress.
Lol, 🤣 The bigger throne and wig wins every time

I don’t know why, but any time I see or hear Schiff-for-brains, I want to pop him in the mouth. Weird.
Not in your mouth, I hope 🙂
Does Schiff Merlot in your mouth and not in you hand?
:-{)}}}
I’d have to pick him up off the floor to do that, and I’m inclined to do neither.

Guess who is one of the main bad guys?
An FBI that worked on the Democratic side of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for more than a decade, told agents that “all hell broke loose” after Trump’s 2016 election. In February 2017, he asserted that Schiff hatched a plan to weaponize U.S. intelligence to smear Trump in the media as a Kremlin conspirator with the goal of triggering his impeachment.
“In this meeting, SCHIFF stated that the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States Donald J. Trump,” said the FBI interview report, known as an FD-302, which noted that the whistleblower memorialized the Monday, Feb. 13, 2017, staff meeting in an email he sent to himself the next day. “SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.”
Schiff should be in jail, not Congress, and it would amazing to see Patel one day arrest him.
That was beautiful. I was wrong about Kash Patel. The man clearly has the righteous anger and guts needed to shake up the FBI.
I’d rather see him be the one to close it down.
IKR
Schiff is another first class twat. I don’t know if he is the biggest fraud to ever sit in the senate. Obama and Kerry are in the race too. However he is one of the biggest frauds.

Q: Is it true that Schiff is the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate?
A: I’m sorry, I can’t answer that question, because I’m not a historian.
If Trump did one thing right in his second administration it’s to surround himself with people who have no regard for the windbags in the House and Senate and lose no time in making their contempt known.
Pencil neck is among the biggest frauds in the senate and the house. There are many. Among them is Booker, Raskin, Hirono, Wyden, P. Murphy, Schumer, Wyden, Durbin, van Hollen, Warren, Markey, Whitehouse, Kaine, Pelosi, Waters, Swalwelll, DeLauro, Clyburn, Cohen, A. Green, Jayapal and the entire squad.
And I’m sure I missed a few.
I see Patel is making a run at a Presidential Medal of Freedom. At least, that’s what I feel.
