A key Trump administration official interrogated for five hours by the House Jan. 6 committee is calling on the Democrat-led panel to release his interview transcript, saying investigators spent more time questioning him on military matters like President Biden's bungled Afghanistan withdrawal than the Capitol riots.
Former Pentagon chief of staff Kash Patel told Just the News that one of the key pieces of evidence he provided the committee was a detailed timeline of every step the Pentagon took to prepare for the Jan. 6 protests, the offers of help it made to Congress and what it did to deploy National Guard troops during the attack.
Patel said, the congressional investigators showed little interest in the timeline.
" Patel said what surprised him was that congressional investigators seemed to want to spend more time on Biden's bungled Afghan withdrawal and the plans the Trump administration had left behind to end the war, as well as the U.S. force posture in the terrorist haven of Somalia.
Patel, a former federal counterterrorism prosecutor, garnered public attention in 2017-18 as the chief investigative counsel for the House Intelligence Committee when it was run by GOP Chairman Devin Nunes, and he played a vital role in helping to unravel the false Russia collusion narrative that dogged the Trump White House.
The second mistake altered a text message between Rep. Jim Jordan and Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, a piece of evidence that Schiff personally displayed on national TV though it was doctored.
"This same guy now goes and gets the member of Congress's email or text and changes the verbiage, the punctuation, the grammar and the length and puts it up for the world to see."Adam Schiff's credibility doesn't even exist anywhere in this universe," Patel said.
