New reporting has uncovered that #FBI Dir #KashPatel was on verge of being found in #contempt by federal judge overseeing #Trump’s #MarALago criminal grand jury, in addition to his taking the #5thAmendment against self incrimination and only testifying after being given criminal immunity. Just what we want in an FBI director. #Popok also examines why the public didn’t know about this at the time of Patel’s confirmation hearing.

“You’re engaging, you’re not threatening, you’re natural, you’re friendly, you don’t look at all creepy, you’re a sympathetic figure,” said Bannon during the early 2019 coaching and feedback session, per the book. Bannon, once a top strategist for former president Donald Trump, confirmed to the Times that he encouraged Epstein to do a “60 Minutes” interview and recorded more than 15 hours of interviews with the disgraced financier.

#Cornyn Says #FBI Will Help Find #Texas Lawmakers Who Left State

The senator said the agency had agreed to help locate Democratic state legislators who departed to try to block a vote on congressional maps. Democrats said #FederalLawEnforcement was being misused.

"Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, said on Thursday that the F.B.I. had agreed to his request to help track down dozens of Democratic Texas state lawmakers who left the state to prevent a vote on a redistricting plan.

"The activation of federal agents could create a standoff between the Trump administration and state leaders in Illinois, where many of the absent #Democrats have taken refuge.

"It was not clear on Thursday morning whether federal agents had actually taken action in the case, or what role they might eventually play.

"Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois scoffed at the idea that federal agents could be deployed against the Texas lawmakers present in his state, calling it 'a lot of grandstanding.'

" 'The reality is that all that he has said is that the F.B.I. has been authorized to locate the House Democrats — nothing more,' Mr. Pritzker told reporters at the Illinois State Fair on Thursday. 'I welcome the F.B.I. coming to the state,' he added. 'But they won’t be arresting anyone because there is no federal law that prohibits those Texas House Democrats from being here.'

"Mr. Pritzker has previously said that federal law enforcement agents might be used in an attempt to #intimidate lawmakers, even if the agents did not have cause to make arrests.

"Several of the #TexasDemocrats in Illinois said that as of Thursday morning, no federal agents had been seen or reported at the lawmakers’ hotel in St. Charles, about 25 miles west of Chicago.

"The whereabouts of the Texas lawmakers are widely known, but until now at least, they had considered themselves safe from arrest because they were far from the jurisdiction of Texas law enforcement agencies.

" 'I am proud to announce that Director #KashPatel has approved my request for the F.B.I. to assist state and local law enforcement in locating runaway Texas House Democrats,' Mr. Cornyn said in a statement.

"In his letter on Tuesday requesting the bureau’s assistance, Mr. Cornyn argued that the Democratic lawmakers might have violated state bribery laws by accepting money from outside groups to support their efforts to prevent a vote in the Texas House on a redrawn political map.

"No criminal warrants have actually been filed against the lawmakers in Texas. The speaker of the Texas House has issued civil warrants, saying that the Democrats violated rules of attendance for that chamber,but those warrants have not been considered enforceable outside the state during previous legislative walkouts."

"Here’s a look at how Trump and his aides, including the attorney general and FBI leadership, fanned the flames of the Epstein conspiracy theories over the years, and how they’re now trying to extinguish them.

In their own words:…."

#danbongino & #KashPatel are completely morons.

They spent yrs. creating, cultivating #maga conspiracy
Groups…on the back of the #jeffreyepstein case…
Pushing heinous lies & poison politics…
Gaining power thru victims pain & abuse.

Now they’re flabbergasted…
When the rabid “followers”…aren’t so easily manipulated.
There must be a saying about messing w/the…
Tinfoil brigade…they’ll turn on you.

Dan & Kash sellout honor & morals like it’s breathing…
They’re learning…all folks aren’t like them.

“An #FBI employee’s loyalty is to the #Constitution, not to the director or deputy director,” said James Davidson, a former agent who spent 23 years in the bureau. “It says everything about Patel’s weak constitution that this is even on his radar.”

The use of the #polygraph, & the nature of the questioning, is part of the FBI’s broader crackdown on news #leaks, reflecting, to a degree, #KashPatel’s acute awareness of how he is publicly portrayed. The moves, fmr bureau ofcls say, are politically charged & highly inappropriate, underscoring what they describe as an alarming quest for fealty at the #FBI, where there is little tolerance for #dissent. Disparaging Patel or his deputy, #DanBongino, fmr ofcls say, could cost people their job.
