Kash Patel tells Blumenthal he's "unaware" of ProPublica's bombshell report that a Russian oligarch who is close to Putin bankrolled Don Jr's wedding and says, "public reporting is generally is inaccurate ... I don't track public reporting"

Whether public reporting is 100% accurate or 100% inaccurate or somewhere in between, it is absolutely incumbent upon the FBI Director to keep track of it, because that is what shapes the reality in which he operates. He is admitting to gross negligence.

So if the public report a crime to the FBI they are going to ignore it? How do we report crimes to this new FBI? Perhaps we tell Trump and, if it is anything he cares about, it will get investigated. Sounds about right.

Didn’t Jr and his new wife release a statement basically saying ‘so what he’s our friend who just did something nice for us’???? I suppose Kash doesn’t know about that either huh?

Head of the FBI should be aware of both factual information and widespread rumors. How does he know it’s inaccurate if it hasn’t been investigated? All that being said, of course he’s aware of it, he’s just a lying stooge.

Kash Patel only tracks protecting the Trumps. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Kash Patel is a liar. He evades direct answers unless they will please Trump. Otherwise he evades & lies. He can’t be trusted no matter what he pledges. When the Trump Administration, including Patel, are held to account they’ll scream weaponization. Note to both, commit a crime you’ll be tried.

How’s he “unaware”? how’s that even possible? two, who cares about “public reporting”? he has an entire FBI at his disposal. 40,000 employees. None knew anything about it? no one said, ‘oh, look at this”? how the f can the director of the fbi not know a putin stooge paid for junior's wedding party?

🤡Kash Patel🤡 - the head of the FBI - says he hasn't heard about a Russian oligarch bankrolling the wedding celebration of the U.S. President's son. 🤡Kash Patel🤡 prefers to pretend he's clueless & out of touch as the director of the FBI - or was he too drunk to read news headlines ...

Is that how counter-espionage works? They wait to see what the press pieces together and then look into it? I'm no expert, but I kind of assumed this type of stuff is supposed to be known to the FBI and investigated contemporaneously, or in any event, well before the press gets wind of it.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it". This is the single most informative sentence ever written about politics, government,mand a great deal else.

But someone's mom heard on a facebook post that the "brown guy" down the street may not be legal and tried to attack her and now Kash wants to take them all out.

I've been watching the last 15-20 minutes of Senate interviews w/ FBI Director Kash Patel & it's shocking that he has so many "I don't know" answers. I don't blame Senator Booker for expressing frustration w/ Patel who is evasive & childish. Shenanigans are stupid. As you say, total waste of time.🚫🇺🇲

Patel, as Director of the FBI, SHOULD be able to tell us exactly how much the oligarch spent, who he was in contact with before/during/after, and be able to provide a minute-by-minute timeline of everything that Russian asshole has done for the past 4 years. Patel is drunk at the wheel.
