The Missouri Republican Senator, Josh Hawley, has pressed a pake on a range of conservative grievances concerning FBI surveys, including potential extremists in Catholic religious communities, people disturbing local public forums on education programs and cocovid locking policies.
“Again, I can’t imagine that I could have thought that it would happen to the United States of America,” said Hawley.
“When you discover who was involved in this policy within the FBI, who agrees, who implemented it, who encouraged it, when you discover that, Mr. Patel, will you investigate internal?”
“Absolutely, the senator,” said Patel, saying that he would also discipline all the agents involved and work to prevent such surveys from reproducing.
