Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) stated on Sunday that Democrats, including California Sen. Adam Schiff, “fear” the possibility of Kash Patel leading the FBI because he is aware of their involvement in Russiagate.
“I think, too, they are very fearful of Kash Patel, because Kash Patel knows what Adam Schiff and some of the others did with Russia collusion, and they know that he knows — the dirt on them, if you will — and I think they’re fearful of what he’s going to do and what he’s going to reveal,” Blackburn told “Fox & Friends” on Sunday.
She also said that Democrats recognize that “Patel is very devoted to bringing transparency to what’s going on in Washington.”
Blackburn also addressed these alleged concerns during remarks to the Senate Judiciary Committee late last month after Patel’s confirmation hearings.
“As I’ve listened to my Democratic colleagues in their comments this morning, you can hear the anger and the displeasure with having Kash Patel before us. But I think it’s important to realize why Kash Patel is there and why President Trump chose to nominate Kash Patel,” she began.
