Patel maintained he used\u200d &#8220;we&#8221; in\u2063 a general sense, while Schiff insisted it implied his direct involvement.\u2063 Schiff further challenged Patel to express pride about his actions\u2064 in front of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/did-president-trump-spring-a-trap-on-treasonous-democrats-on-election-night\/\" title=\"Did President Trump Spring a Trap on Treasonous Democrats on Election Night?\">law enforcement present<\/a> during \u200bthe hearing.The contentious \u200bback-and-forth \u2063highlighted the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">ongoing\u2062 political \u2063divide surrounding<\/a>\u200c the \u200bevents of January 6, 2021, and the implications for \u200dlaw enforcement and public trust.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Kash rehashes clash with Schiff in Senate confirmation hearing<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<p>Kash Patel, President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a>&lsquo;s FBI director nominee, reignited a long-standing feud with Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/adam-schiff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Adam Schiff\">Adam Schiff<\/a> (D-CA) during his Thursday Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Patel previously served on the staff for the House Intelligence Committee, where he authored a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act memo that alleged the FBI improperly secured warrants to surveil a former Trump adviser during the 2016 campaign.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3292730\/all-executive-orders-actions-trump-first-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FULL LIST OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS, ACTIONS, AND PROCLAMATIONS TRUMP HAS MADE AS PRESIDENT<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Schiff served as the ranking member on the committee and was one of the loudest voices on Capitol Hill claiming that Trump and his team had been compromised by Russia. The FISA memo is credited with partially debunking those claims.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff opened his Thursday line of questioning by asking Patel about his role in promoting a song recorded by the &ldquo;J6 Prison Choir,&rdquo; a group of January 6 defendants.<\/p>\n<p>However, the conversation quickly shifted to semantics after Schiff began reading the transcript of an appearance Patel made on Steve Bannon&rsquo;s podcast.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What we thought would be cool is if we captured that audio, and then, of course, had the greatest president, President Donald J. Trump, recite the pledge of allegiance,&rdquo; Schiff said, quoting Patel&rsquo;s appearance. &ldquo;Then we went to a studio and recorded it, mastered it, digitized it, and put it out as a song now releasing exclusively on the War Room.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We, we, we. If you had nothing to do with it, Mr. Patel, why did you tell Steve Bannon all those listeners that you did?&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;When we say &lsquo;we,&rsquo; that includes you, doesn&rsquo;t it Mr. Patel?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Patel responded negatively: &ldquo;Not in every instance.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Well, that&rsquo;s new,&rdquo; Schiff exasperatedly countered. &ldquo;I always thought that we included the person who pronounced the word, but maybe not.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The disagreement continued. Patel claimed that he had been using the &ldquo;proverbial &lsquo;we&rsquo; appropriately,&rdquo; to which Schiff threw up his hands and exclaimed, &ldquo;the royal &lsquo;we,&rsquo; oh, I see.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;So when you said &lsquo;we,&rsquo; you didn&rsquo;t really mean &lsquo;you&rsquo;?&rdquo; Schiff said. <\/p>\n<p>Patel replied: &ldquo;Not unless you have a new definition for the word &lsquo;we&rsquo;?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Seeking to make a point that Patel&rsquo;s involvement with the Jan. 6 choir is disrespectful to law enforcement, including to Capitol Police, who fought off rioters on Jan. 6, 2021, Schiff ordered Patel to &ldquo;turn around&rdquo; and tell the officers present in the hearing that &ldquo;you&rsquo;re proud of what you did.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m looking at you,&rdquo; Patel responded shortly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can watch Patel&rsquo;s hearing in full below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WATCH LIVE: Kash Patel&rsquo;s confirmation hearing for FBI director\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/10cz8S2Npvg?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kash Patel reignites feud with Schiff in Senate hearing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2645,"featured_media":2397106,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/kash-schiff.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[36040,44864,4133,5894,32076],"class_list":["post-2397105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-adam-schiff","tag-kash-patel","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/kash-schiff.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2397105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2645"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2397105"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2397105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2397109,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2397105\/revisions\/2397109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2397106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2397105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2397105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2397105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
