Kash Patel: We Found Phone Records of Senators to Expose the Politicization by Jack Smith and DoJ

Hannity: “We had Jack Smith spying on elected United States senators and representatives, and they knew who they were calling, where they were calling from, where the person was receiving the call, who was receiving the call. You have fired the agents that were involved in that operation. What can you tell us about it?”
PATEL: “Sean, I want to peel this onion carefully. Look, they put this information, they, those that weaponized the FBI, prior leadership at DoJ and FBI, they took this information where they subpoenaed eight sitting United States senators, put it in a lockbox, put that lockbox in a vault, and then put that vault in a cyber place where no one can see or search these files. They’re called restricted access and prohibited access. Restricted access means some people get to see it. Prohibited access, you put it in there when you want to hide it from the world, and that takes the authorization of the attorney general and the director of the FBI. So not only did they weaponize this law enforcement, but when we got in there and when I got in there as the FBI director, from my experience as Russiagate, I knew where to look and what rooms to open and what doors to kick down. And that’s what we did. We found this information to expose the politicization by Jack Smith and the prior Department of Justice. I mean, just think about it. Eight sitting United States senators’ phone records were gathered and subpoenaed through the grand jury process, and it was buried and wormholed with the hope that no one would find it. So we’re just scratching the surface here, but accountability is coming. You’re darn right I fired those agents. You’re darn right I blew up CR 15, the public corruption squad that led the weaponization at the Washington field office. We’re just warming up, but we are running our investigations to the ground. We are finding every single person involved. We will not leave a single room locked. We will go in through all the prohibited access requirements, and we will find the material and show the American public, like we have done in this FBI, more transformative and transparent than any in the U.S. history, to bring accountability to the American people. And we will work with our partners in Congress who should be furious at the prior administration’s leadership and weaponization and singular politicization of law enforcement. The American public sees what we’re doing, Sean, with the stats you just read off in the beginning. They see what we’re doing here to to unseal the vault and show the world how the deep state actually operated. It’s not a Republican fiction. This is what Donald Trump was put in place to do. And I’m honored to be his FBI director to lead this charge. And the men and women at the FBI, we’re all in on this mission.”
Hannity: “Director Patel, 91% increase in arrests for violent crime makes Americans safer and more secure. And they deserve that from their government. That should be a prerequisite. Well done. We appreciate you getting to the bottom of it and your transparency and your availability. We appreciate your time, sir.”
