Ron Brownstein: We Spent 50 Years Trying to Get Away from the Behavior Kash Patel Displayed at Yesterday’s Hearing

‘To me, it’s just a dramatic illustration of how far the guardrails have collapsed’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

BROWNSTEIN: “We spent 60, 50 years trying to get away from that after Watergate, after J. Edgar Hoover to the FBI as a more nonpartisan institution. And to me, it was just a dramatic illustration of just how far the guardrails have collapsed. I mean, like much of Pam Bondi's term. And I just wonder, can you get back to that job? That was kind of an animating principle of Joe Biden's presidency, return to normalcy and voters would reward you. Turns out they didn't. So is this now the new normal, that you have an FBI director who is essentially an attack dog for the administration that appoints them? Because that's above all what I took away from that exchange.”
