KIM: There's reporting that FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood splatter and bullet holes in Ms. Good's SUV. They received orders to stop supposedly from Kash Patel. Do you think a sufficient investigation is happening?
LYONS: I can't speak to that

Rand Paul to ICE officials on Pretti's killing: "Because people within the government made conclusions immediately that he was a terrorist and an assassin, people aren't believing that it's gonna be an honest investigation ... there has to ultimately be repercussions ... it's inexcusable."

Rand Paul to ICE officials on moments before Pretti's killing: "No one in America believes that shoving that woman's face in the snow was deescalation."
Note that ICE officials then confirm it was improper for her to be thrown down.

Also that Congress did address immigration with a bipartisan bill that gave republicans virtually everything wanted, only for them to sabotage it at Trumps request so he could run on it in 2024.
These people are wholly ignorant about recorded history and entirely unserious.

I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.
Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.
