Lawler Misguided in Words of Support for FBI Director Nominee

Congressman Lawler has no reservations about Kash Patel heading the FBI. He stated, “the lack of confidence that Americans have in the Department of Justice and the FBI is terrible. And so, obviously, we want a system that is reformed, that works for the American people and that prosecutes criminals. And that should be the objective and the goal of every American.”

“A system that prosecutes criminals!”

Patel has repeatedly whitewashed January 6.

Patel has aggressively promoted “Justice for All,” a song performed by the so-called “J6 Prison Choir,” using it to portray January 6 rioters as victims of the American justice system. He described the choir’s members as “political prisoners” who were “incarcerated as a result of their involvement in the January 6, 2021 protest for election integrity.” Patel also told Gateway Pundit, a far-right conspiracy site, that the song was produced by “like-minded Americans who wanted to…destroy the two-tier system of justice that is rotting America.”

Earlier this month, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office identified six members of the “J6 Prison Choir” in its final report on the 2020 election interference case against President Trump.

All six of the January 6 convicts listed in Footnote 139 of Smith’s report have pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement officers on January 6 and were sentenced to prison. They are Julian Kahter (sentenced to 80 months in prison), Ryan Nichols (63 months), Jordan Mink (51 months), Ronald Sandlin (63 months), Barton Shively (18 months) and James McGrew (78 months).

It seems to me Patel is fine with pardoning, not prosecuting, criminals. Congressman Lawler needs to publicly rescind his approval of Kash Patel to lead our premiere law enforcement agency.

Thank you for your consideration.
