Kash Patel says it’s time for the GOP to get serious about FBI, DOJ: ‘Take their fancy toys’

Former national security adviser for the House Intelligence Committee Kash Patel urged House Republicans on Wednesday to take the gloves off and stop playing nice with the DOJ and FBI, telling them to “fence the money” from the “government gangsters” and take away their “fancy toys.”

He joined most Americans in being outraged over Hunter Biden skating on illegal gun possession, drug use, sex trafficking, and foreign bribery schemes. Hunter Biden was instead charged with two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax. He will serve no time in prison and will be on probation, which basically means there are no consequences for any of his actions.

“As a former federal public defender and national security prosecutor, this case has singularly done more damage to the institution of justice than I’ve ever seen in my life. What do I mean by that? As a federal public defender, I handled hundreds of gun cases exactly like the one that Hunter Biden is supposedly being given a get-of-jail-free card on. And every single time a gun case was tied to a narcotics application or justification, the average prison sentence was three to five years in federal prison,” Patel noted.

“So, why is it that he gets pretrial diversion, which almost never happens in federal court, based on the justification… and there’s only one… that he is currently a drug addict? You must currently be a narcotics addict to receive justification for pre-trial diversion. So what is it? He was a drug addict or he’s one right now. I think the DOJ is being too cute by half because most people won’t pick up on that, but that alone, not even the tax charge, to me is a total miscarriage of justice,” he stated.

Patel is recommending taking money from the DOJ and FBI in order to get the necessary documents in the Biden bribery probe. He told “Fox & Friends” that it was the only way to get them to comply with congressional oversight.

“I appreciate where Comer and Jordan are going, but here’s what they have to do. We did it. You got to fence the money. It’s a concept in Congress that the majority can issue to take the money. And I’m not saying defund the entire FBI and DOJ, but you take their fancy toys. You take the money paying for Chris Wray’s private funded private jet. You take the money for their 10 new Escalades, you take the money for their new buildings,” he proposed.

“And that is the only thing that will get these government gangsters to bend the knee to the constitutional oversight of Congress. Remember, these documents, yes, are for the members of Congress, but for the American people, first and foremost. And if they continue to slow roll them by sending them letters and asking them politely and playing these redaction games, it’s not going to get us anywhere. We need to destroy this two-tier system of justice,” Patel asserted.

Former Attorney General William Barr commented that it’s “even more critical” that the Department of Justice releases a document alleging a criminal bribery scheme involving President Biden following a sweetheart plea deal between prosecutors and Hunter Biden.

Barr further stated that the DOJ should cooperate with House Republicans who are demanding that the FBI release the FD-1023 form, provided that necessary steps are taken to protect the life and safety of the confidential human source named in the document.

He told Fox News Digital in an interview on Monday that Special Counsel Jack Smith’s unprecedented indictment of former President Trump for his alleged mishandling of classified documents “understandably sparked ire over a double standard.”

“I think AG Garland should move quickly with concrete steps to address it,” he remarked hinting at the possibility of unrest among American citizens over a brazen two-tier justice system.
