to the senate democratic, top democrat on this committee, dick durbin, who indicated what he plans to do. democrats plan to do here, which is to delay this vote by a week in the senate judiciarycommittee. they have the power underneath the rules on this committee to delay it by a week. and that's precisely what he what he plans to do. senator lindsey graham, the chairman, the one of the top members of the committee walking into this room just now. so that will be delayed by a week. but we do ultimately expect him to get the votes to be approved by the committee sent to the floor of the united states senate. the republicans right now very confident that their members will be in line, get elected, forcing him ultimately to get the job maybe in a couple of weeks time. now, one of the big questions he's going to confront kash patel, assuming he is confirmed, is how to deal with these fbi agents who have been singled out because of their work on the january 6th investigation. we know the trump team has come out to try to find those specific people who've been working on those cases. the chairman of this committee, chuck grassley, told me that he wants to kash patel to explain to h

think there's a pretty strong congressional record developed in a lot of places like the senate judiciary committee and the senate banking committee. and the bicameral members of the helsinki commission. this clash of civilizations that i'm talking about is a very serious national security threat. many of the really dangerous events and people's that we have had to fight in the last decades have emerged from the other side of that clash. from countries where there was not rule of law, from countries where kleptocrats ruled, where legitimate government had been taken over by criminal organizations. so i think there's a strong record of that. we are trying to show that record into these cases about the corporate transparency act. so i'm hoping that there will be a bit of a reversion. they came in and fentanyl was a huge issue for them. i respect the attorney general's desire to focus all the efforts of the department of justice on these cartels. i do think that, as other countries we've been working with against this international dark economy and the criminality that it supports, come forward and pu

on this brisk morning, my fellow democratic senate judiciary committee colleagues and i are here at the f.b.i. headquarters today on the day the senate republicans have scheduled a vote to confirm kash patel president trump's nominee for f.b.i. director. we stand outside the building that mr. patel will one day plans to, quote, shut down and reopen the next day as a museum of the deep state. that is one of many of the bizarre political statements made by the man who is asking for 10 years as director of the f.b.i. sen. durbin: after meeting with mr. patel and reviewing his record, questioning him at the hearing, i'm convinced he's neither of the experience, the judgment nor the temperament to lead the f.b.i. my senate republican colleagues are willfully ignoring myriad red flags about mr. patel. especially his recurring instinct to threaten retribution against his perceived enemies. this is an extremely dangerous flaw for someone who seeks to lead the nation's most powerful domestic investigative agency for the next 10 years. what is this all about? what is patel's mission? it's pretty

president, this thursday, the senate judiciary committee is scheduled to consider whether to recommendh patel's nomination to be director of federal bureau of investigation to the full senate for consideration. so far, my republican committee colleagues have chosen to ignore the myriad red flags about mr. patel, especially his recurring instinct to threaten retribution, political retribution, against his and president trump's perceived enemies. this is a dangerous characteristic for a person who wants to lead the nation's most powerful domestic investigative agency, the fbi. i hope what i reveal today from credible whistleblowers at the highest levels will give my republican colleagues some pause before it's too late. multiple whistleblowers have disclosed to my staff highly credible information indicating that mr. kash patel has been personally directing the ongoing purge of senior law enforcement officials at the fbi. let me remind you, mr. president, mr. patel at this moment in time is not on any public payroll nor does he have any authorities by our government. on the morning of ja
