Summary

New reporting has uncovered that FBI Director Kash Patel was on the verge of being found in contempt by the federal judge overseeing Trump’s Mar a Lago criminal grand jury, in addition to his taking the 5th Amendment against self incrimination and only testifying after being given criminal immunity. Just what we want in an FBI director. Popok also examines why the public didn’t know about this at the time of Patel’s confirmation hearing.

I don't know about you, but I like my FBI directors who don't take the Fifth Amendment when they're asked to appear before a grand jury about a guy named Donald Trump that may have committed and was indicted for committing obstruction of justice and espionage down at Mar-a-Lago.

0:16.1

And now we've got new reporting coming out because Politico worked very hard, along with other media agencies to make sure that those blacked out redacted entries on dockets about the grand juries investigating Donald Trump, that those black tapes be removed so the public can see it, even if it's now three years later and long after Cash Patel

0:38.6

was confirmed as FBI director. But now we know that the chief judge at the time, Beryl Howell,

0:46.5

still a judge, just not the chief judge, she found not only did he take the Fifth Amendment

0:52.8

and eventually dropped it because Jack Smith's

0:57.2

prosecution team gave him immunity.

0:59.4

So we have a, get this straight, we got an FBI director, best friend of Donald Trump,

1:06.9

who helped Donald Trump hide the documents, hide the ball at Marlago, who took the Fifth Amendment

and only was forced to waive it and testify to the grand jury against Donald Trump because

1:31.9

And now we've got the new reporting that Barrel Howell, who was overseeing in her role as

1:36.2

chief judge of all things, D.C. federal court.

1:39.8

She was responsible for the witnesses and making sure the witnesses go into the grand jury.

1:44.1

She's supervised all things grand jury, not just Donald Trump's grand jury, all grand juries,

1:49.5

including the Trump grand juries, including the Mar-a-Lago Trump grand juries.

1:53.8

And so when Cash Patel kept playing footsie with Jack Smith, oh, I can't make it, can't make it,

1:59.9

can't make it.

2:00.7

Sorry, cancel, cancel, cancel,

2:02.0
