Senator Adam Schiff made an appearance at a Senate Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday and was summarily leveled by a wrecking ball named Kash Patel.
Schiff and Patel engaged in a rather lopsided exchange in which the California Democrat demanded answers as to why Ghislaine Maxwell had been transferred from a low-security federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas.
The implication being that the move was part of a wink and a nod agreement coinciding with an interview conducted by U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Schiff inquired as to whether or not the American people should believe the transfer was simply a coincidence. And the FBI Director lost his patience. Understand this, I am being incredibly charitable when I refer to the following video as an "exchange."
No more than a hammer and a nail are entangled in an "exchange." This was a brutal verbal lashing on Patel's part. In all of 90 seconds, he exposes Schiff as a Russiagate fraud, a J6 fraud, and a media whore.
🔥HOLY SMOKES: FBI Director Kash Patel just EVISCERATED Adam Schiff

Patel was testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee during the annual FBI oversight hearing. As per usual, Democrats eschewed substantive inquiries and embraced anything they could get their meaty little hooks on to score cheap political points.
Schiff sensed an opening with the Maxwell inquiry, as Democrats have suddenly developed an interest in her and sex predator Jeffrey Epstein's crimes now that Donald Trump is President.
He sensed wrong. It's impossible to watch the video without thinking of Apollo Creed's trainer in "Rocky IV" begging the Italian Stallion to stop the fight.
"Do you expect the American people to believe that?" Schiff asked about the transfer. "Do you think they're stupid?"
"No. I think the American people believe the truth, that I'm not in the weeds on the everyday movements of inmates," Patel replied. He was just getting started.
"What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historic reforms, and combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you," the Director continued. "And we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in Russiagate, in January 6th - You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate."
Patel described the junior Senator from California as a "disgrace" to the institution and an "utter coward."
No lies detected.
Schiff, as our readers well know, was a leading figure in the investigations into President Trump’s alleged ties with Russia during and after his presidency, including leading the first impeachment against him. When serving as head of the House Intelligence Committee, he consistently leaked classified information, which fueled the fake Russian collusion hoax.
The pencil-necked Senator was also a prominent figure on the J6 committee that pushed easily debunked conspiracy theories, doctored alleged evidence, and destroyed data before Republicans could take control of the House.
Two hoaxes that nearly brought down the President. Helped along by an "utter coward."
Now that it has been confirmed that @SenAdamSchiff personally approved leaking classified info in an attempt to hurt Trump, I thought I’d post a Russian Hoax montage of Adam. pic.twitter.com/hf0skJggL0

Patel's relentless assault continued when he pointed out that the only thing Schiff loves more than leaking classified information is running to the media cameras to let them know about it.
Schiff tried valiantly to stop the bleeding, yet Patel still countered by referring to him as a "political buffoon at best," an insult to buffoons everywhere.
"All you care about is a child sex predator that was prosecuted by a prior administration, and the Obama Justice Department and the Biden Justice Department did squat," he said.
"I challenge you to say anything credibly to the truth. Go ahead and run to the cameras where you want to go now."
The next time Schiff says something truthful will be the first time.
He barely got a word in. The gavel rained down repeatedly in an attempt to break up the fight. And the pleas by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) for Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) to throw the damn towel could not stop the complete evisceration of Schiff's character.
