A lot happened today. I mean, you've probably seen by now there was no shortage of explosive moments during Cash Patel's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee today.

He's also testifying tomorrow, so stay tuned for that.

But as I was watching it this morning, one of the most telling moments, to me at least, in today's hearing, is one that has gotten a lot less attention.

It came when Senator Sheldon

White House asked Kash Patel about his enemies list. When you were here for your confirmation,

we talked about your so-called enemies list. It appears to me that there have been adverse actions of various kinds taken against

about 20 of the 60 people on your enemies list. You've been in office for seven months

at that rate. You've got 14 months until you've hit all 60.

Can you explain that? Again, that is an entirely inaccurate presupposition. I do not have an

enemy's list. You can continue to characterize it as you wish. Again, it wasn't the loudest moment

of the hearing. There were plenty of those or the most viral

moment today in this hearing. There were shuffling of papers. There was moving of glasses. But it was

one of Keshe Battel's most brazen. Because nine months into this administration, it is definitely

not an inaccurate presupposition, to use his words, that the Justice Department is targeting the

president's enemies. They are. I mean, Senator White House was referring to the list of people

Cash Patel openly published an alphabetical list of so-called corrupt, deep actors who he wanted

Trump to take on. Now, that list included people like former CIA director John Brennan and former FBI director

James Comey, both of whom Trump's Department of Justice is now investigating. It includes former

DHS official Miles Taylor, who Trump ordered the Justice Department to also investigate.

It includes Trump's former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, whose home was raided by the FBI as part of the investigation into him.

So it is painfully obvious that Trump's Justice Department is systematically targeting basically all the people whom Cash Patel and Donald Trump said they would target, which is exactly why the senator asked about it today.

Why bother denying it so aggressively at this point?
