Kash Patel Shows up to Budget Hearing with no Budget

[whitehall]

Please cite where they violated the law and didn't provide one previously. And showing up with out one to the hearing? Embarrassing.

After four years of Biden embarrassment the left is hysterical about Patel's budget? WTF? Did the former FBI head set Trump up for assassination? That's an important topic.

 

[Mac-7]

Patel was not confirmed 90 days ago. You are incorrect, as per usual.

Ok, 75 days ago

My bad

Thats even less time to assemble a budget request

 

[Zincwarrior]

Just carry over the values from last year, and add stuff.

That's what the whole concept of a "continuing resolution" is.

Yes, and its stupid. It also doesn't modify the budget from the priorities of the previous dude.

FBI Director showed up to his budget hearing, without a proposed budget, despite law requiring it had been submitted a week before.
Thats funny right there.

‘You Have No Timeline?!’ Senator Gobsmacked by FBI Director Kash Patel Showing Up at Budget Hearing Without a Budget

During a Senate hearing to review the FBI's FY26 budget, Kash Patel was forced to admit that he had nothing ready to review despite the law requiring it.

MURRAY: And you have no timeline. Well, we also need a full budget request, not a single paragraph full of wild talking points that we saw with the skinny budget proposal. We’re now having a budget hearing without a budget request. So, Director Patel, where is the FY 2026 budget request for the FBI?

PATEL: It’s being worked on, ma’am.

MURRAY: Have you reviewed it? Have you approved it?

PATEL: But not yet.

MURRAY: When will we get it?

During a Senate hearing to review the FBI’s FY2026 budget request, Director Kash Patel was forced to admit that, despite the law requiring it, he had no such request ready to review.

PATEL: As soon as I can get it from my interagency partners and get it approved.

MURRAY: Six months from now? I don’t know, ma’am, I’m not going to take that time. Well, how do we, as Congress, do our budget and our work without that request and without the spent one?

PATEL: Well, ma’am, I’m here. I’m doing the best I can. I can’t make up answers. I’m going to commit to you to work on getting you the information you need.

MURRAY: That is insufficient and deeply disturbing. No response.

PATEL: I’ve given my response.

Using a non TDS infected source, which the OP does not, Kash is developing arguments against cuts in the FBI's budget which he maintains are not reasonable. He wants roughly $1 billion more than the White House has proposed and is working on his department's defense for that.

It is pretty certain that some compromise will be reached by the time all the dust settles.

Oh things get changed, but the whole process doesn't start at zero.

Just another example of the federal government being too big for it's constitutitonal mandate.

What budget?

 

[Lesh]

More overly nit picking by the left? I don't remember any focus on the FBI budget in history up until now.

Because they presented one.. idiot

 

[Zincwarrior]

Because they presented one.. idiot

MAGA can't even propose a budget to fund what they want. Children

 

[Lesh]

MAGA can't even propose a budget to fund what they want. Children

They’re just not serious people

 

[TimFitz]

FBI director Kash Patel shut down the lefty loon Sen. Murray in record time. ...

By admitting that he wasn’t doing his job?

When the dems DEMANDED a timeline for when they would get it, he said "no, there is no estimate for that". When pressed by that horrendous dem lady who said "youre telling me that you arent going to give us a timeline of when we will see it, even though you were legally required to give us the budget to us days ago?", Kash replied in a cold voice, "yes, thats what im telling you." Then she says, "so youre not giving us even an estimate today?", Kash coldly replied, "No".

Kash didnt give a flying **** about her, nor should he.

Has Patel been convicted of not having a budget?
