Summary
Popok reports on Senator Van Hollen of Maryland hammering away on some of the final nails in the professional coffin of FBI Dir. Kash Patel, as he maneuvered him into publicly promising to take a written Sobriety test, then watched as he broke the promise, leading Van Hollen to declare in an interview on Sunday that Patel is frequently "incapacitated" and unable to do his job and has "compromised" the FBI and its responsibilities, and calling for his immediate firing.
