I don't think I've ever seen a nominee with so many headwinds come out of his hearing so masterfully, looking so good in such good shape. They threw everything at him they had. And every single time, he proved up to the task. Every... FBI director I've questioned since I've been in the Senate has led me astray in one way or another on issues like FISA 702 and domestic surveillance.

Cash told the truth. That, by the way, is why the deep state doesn't like him. That, by the way, is why there has been so much opposition to Cash. But the truth is he's going to get confirmed this week. On Thursday, we're going to hold his vote in the Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee has some procedures that are somewhat unique.

And those procedures can make it time consuming to get out of there. But we'll get him out of committee on Thursday. Once that happens, we'll rush him to the floor. And within a few days, probably early next week, he'll be sworn in as the FBI director. I'm confident of that.

Well, first of all, you're going to have somebody in there who is skeptical of government, which is exactly what we need in government generally and in that FBI in particular. So I think you're going to see a different approach taken toward FISA 702. I think you're going to see more strict procedures in place. I think you're going to have

an FBI that is focused on investigating crime rather than investigating enemies of the sitting regime. And that's been one of the problems that we've had at this entity. As a former federal prosecutor myself, and Cash has the same distinction on that front, we can both see that the FBI is this long-revered institution whose reputation has sadly been tarnished

by people who have wanted to make the fbi much more about political espionage much more about gaining a political advantage for the deep state and for the democratic party that will be no more and i think you'll see changes right away that will reflect those things and this is one of the more important fights in front of us we never thought we'd be able to get

Certainly makes a person wonder. Look, we have those numbers that have been released about the sheer number of the very substantial percentage of the FBI's agents that were working on January 6th related matters.

To whatever degree you had most of those people doing most of their work on January 6th cases, that to me suggests that there were a lot of other things that went uninvestigated, crimes that went unsolved and unpunished and unproven in a court of law. But like I say, we don't have all those numbers.

It is significant that they spent as much time as they did, devoted as many members of their team as they did to this, given that it was one day reflecting one incident. There are lots of crimes going on in the United States at any given time. It does concern me that they put as many resources into this one as they did, just as they did put a lot of resources into looking at
