FBI Director Kash Patel boldly proclaimed, “I go where I want to go” after being grilled on his much-criticized personal travels as head of the agency. Appearing Tuesday during a lengthy hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Patel snapped at Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) who questioned Patel’s now infamous visit to the US Olympic Men’s locker room after they defeated Canada to win the gold medal in Italy. The 46-year-old Patel has also been heavily criticized for using agency resources for personal travels, an issue that became infamous in February after he posted an image of himself on social media celebrating with the team. He’s also been slammed for a snorkeling trip near Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and for a trip to a luxury hunting resort called Boondoggle Ranch. As Welch wrapped up his questioning, he brought up Patel’s much-maligned personal travels. “Then you barged into the celebration of our winning Olympic team what were you doing that? Can’t you let the players enjoy the joy of their own victory?” Welch said. “What you’ll never understand is the players who are my friends invited me into the locker room,” Patel said. “What you’ll never understand is that during that trip where 300,000 Americans went to Italy to particpate in the games and watch them not a single security incident occurred,” he continued. “What you’ll never understand is throughout the World Cup not a single security incident occurred because we set a joint operation center up there. And the most important thing to come out of that trip beside the American men defeating the Canadians and celebrating the love of this country and inviting me in to do so is obtained the seizure and capture of China’s most prolific hacker and returned him to the United States.” “And how about your trip to the Boondoggle Ranch?” Welch asked. “How many days off did you take this year? Because I took four this year,” Patel responded. “How about your trip to the Boondoggle–” Welch began to respond. “I go where I want to go after delivering the most prolific crime reduction in U.S. history. You take 180 days off a year and you can put up all the posters you want and tell all the lies you want but everyone sees you for the complete and total fraud that you are,” Patel snapped back.

Chuck Grassley (R-IA) then… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Netflix’s ‘The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey’ Sets Release Date, First Look a...The Netflix limited series “The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey” will premiere on Dec. 10, with the streaming platform also releasing a first look photo of Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen as Patsy and John Bennett Ramsey.

- Chuck Grassley Brawls with Cory Booker at Kash Patel Senate Hearing: ‘Why Do Y...Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, sparred with Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) on Tuesday during a highly contentious hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel. Booker grilled Patel on a range of issues, including accusations that Patel’s FBI was pressuring and harassing journalists. Patel insisted his FBI “focuses on the leakers of classified information that endangered the lives of elected officials and American citizens. We are not targeting reporters at any point in time. We are trying to find out who in the government–” Booker cut in, “Mr. Chairman, this is still my time. He can answer at the end of my time, but this is my time.” “No, he’s not. Your time’s up,” Grassley replied. “No, sir. My time is not up,” Booker shot back, adding, “You allowed Mike Lee to go two and a half minutes over, but yet a Democratic senator, you’re going to cut off?” “At a previous meeting, I let you go three hearings over,” Grassley replied, as Booker insisted, “As you have other people.” “I have one more question, one more line of questioning to give,” Booker pressed as Grassley added, “No, no, he—” “So then I’ll make my concluding remark, and you can do whatever you want, sir,” Booker declared, adding: My concluding remark is: we don’t have an FBI director, we have a lackey here who’s using government—and frankly, he’s not even a good lackey, he’s an incompetent lackey. He’s like an 18-year-old kid who wants to join a fraternity that he could never be a member of, doing keg stands and chugging with friends. He’s an embarrassment to the agency and wouldn’t qualify even to be an FBI agent. He won’t answer questions for a committee. He insults Democrats here, and you don’t step in. He has a little book by his side that he literally is using to try to intimidate people, in the same way he intimidates reporters. “Your time is up,” Grassley said as Booker continued: He is a disgrace, sir, and the fact that we are not asking him—in fact, demanding him—to answer the most basic oversight questions is a further testimony to what is bad. What’s bad is not just that we have a rogue FBI agent intimidating reporters; what’s bad is that we have Republicans in the Senate who are enabling him to go without any objective oversight, transparency,… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago

The form of the resolution is as follows. This is the case,” Massie began. He continued: Impeaching Peter Brian Hegseth, Secretary of Defense for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Resolved that Peter Brian Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, also referred to as Secretary of War by the administration, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate. Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America against Peter Brian Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors. Axios Congress reporter Andrew Solender noted on X the vote will need to take place by Thursday “unless GOP leadership cancels the week early.” GOP Rep. Thomas Massie is on the House floor right now forcing a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth. Will have to happen by Thursday unless GOP leadership cancels the week early.

In part, Massie accused Hegseth of having replaced “maritime law enforcement with unauthorized lethal military targeting of suspected drug traffickers, resulting in at least 221 deaths” and of “directing Operation ABSOLUTE RESOLVE to seize Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores in Venezuela without constitutional or legal authority.” In May, Massie lost his bid for reelection to the President Donald Trump-endorsed former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein. The race went down as the most expensive primary House race on record. Massie previously spoke out against Trump for his relationship with convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein. During the primary battle, Hegseth traveled to Kentucky to endorse Gallrein and speak out… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
