Senate urged to recall Kash Patel and put him under oath over FBI purge

www.rawstory.com Senate urged to recall Kash Patel and put him under oath over FBI purge

During an appearance on Sunday afternoon, a very agitated former FBI official urged members of the U.S. Senate to drag Donald Trump's nominee to head up the department, put him under oath, and grill him over the ongoing purge that began immediately after his appearance last week.Speaking with host A...

This guy literally wrote a book about what he dubs "the executive branch deep state" including a list of high profile names he wants to target.
It's all out in the open. Confirmation hearings are supposed to weed out people like him.
Edit: the way I previously worded my comment it might have been construed as me stating Patel was rightfully going after these people. Instead I meant to indicate that they rightfully resisted/investigated Trump.
- “deep state”
  That is really just a synonym for "democratic state". Whenever someone attacks the "deep state", they actually mean "democratic state". Whenever you come across the phrase, "deep state", just auto-correct it in your own mind to "democratic state" for crystal clarity.
  
  Honestly, there's nothing wrong with career bureaucrats // civil servants per se. ¿Do you want to swap out every geologist, accountant, teacher, interpreter, ranger, manager, safety inspector, lawyer, technician, secretary every 4 years? These people literally run the country and by extension allow society to continue. And they are part of the idea that power and expertise are spread amongst many people.
  Is it fair to criticize individuals, agencies, institutions. Yes. Is there corruption, mismanagement, incompetence? All the time, happens for any sufficiently large enough organization.
  But no need to spin this into some bonkers conspiracy theory.

  You would never ever want any of these people dependent on politics and politicians. That is exactly what caused this:

  Hmm this section sounds familiar:
  The persecution drove hundreds of directors, managers and workers – including the author – into exile and/or imprisonment. In their place, the government appointed political operators, lacking knowledge and experience in the oil sector, who provided unconditional support to Maduro’s policies but damaged the company’s operational capacities, bypassing all control or accountability mechanisms.
  That's essentially what Trump admin wants to do. Fire civil servants en masse, replace with loyalists (proficiency for the job is optional).Then if something is goes wrong, and it will, just blame it on DEI, Biden, wokeness or something.
  
  Hmm this section sounds familiar:
  There is another parallel between Venezuela and Traitorapist Trump. Like us and Nazi Germany, their whole mess happened because they allowed a failed coup leader to come to power who should have been disqualified from the start.
- Rightfully how, exactly?
  
  I've updated my initial comment.
