'Deeply disturbing': Dem rakes 'insufficient' Kash Patel over the coals at budget hearing

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) grilled FBI Director Kash Patel after his agency purportedly violated the law by failing to provide a timely budget.

"As ranking member Van Hollen noted earlier, this hearing is being held without the FBI's fiscal year 2025 spend plan and a full budget request for fiscal year 2026," Murray told Patel at a Thursday hearing. "The spend plan is required by law. It was due to Congress over a week ago. We have not yet seen it. That is really absurd."

…

It was due last week by law," the senator noted.
"I understand," the FBI director replied.

"And your answer is you just understand," Murray observed. "You're not going to follow the law?"

… more weasel weasel …

Are so lazy. All they want to do is spend taxpayer money partying all day and night. They don't actually want to do any work. Patel thought he would just be firing people and being a Trump mouth piece. I guess no one told him that he would actually need to have budgets ready.
