Sen. Adam Schiff of California, one of the most controversial and partisan Democrats in Congress, lamented over Kash Patel on Monday as he appears set to be confirmed as the next FBI director.
“It is just a tragedy for the FBI that it comes to this. I can’t imagine the demoralization at the FBI and the Department of Justice. The damage will be long, long-standing,” Schiff said, according to the Sacramento Bee.
That said, Republicans are supporting Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the bureau, which they say is solely in need of de-politicization after years of being weaponized against by the current president by Joe Biden’s left-wing administration and entrenched operatives within the agency itself.
