Full Episode
Let's take a look at this cross-examination by Democratic senators of Donald Trump's cabinet and Donald Trump's administration. Right here, you have Democratic Senator Merkley cross-examining FBI Director Kash Patel about whether or not he intends to launch an investigation of reported violations of due process of several hundred individuals who were put in concentration camps in El Salvador.
Let's watch it.
It is your job to investigate crimes.
Yes, I agree with the Fifth Amendment. I agree with the entire Constitution and the men and women at the FBI decide.
So are you going to launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred individuals?
Again, Senator, it's not for me to call the balls and strikes on it. The men and women at the FBI who are trained to open investigations will make those calls.
So you have no influence over whether an investigation is opened?
I have influence over it, but you're asking me a constitutional question. I'm not a constitutional scholar.
It's actually not a, it's a question also of law.
