If you didn’t commit a crime as an fbi agent, you have nothing to worry about.

[davidlarue]

ABC still doesn't realize they are no longer relevant.

[NPCHSN]

They’re shredding the Jan 6 files right now.

[DanStratocaster]

This is the BEST POSSIBLE THING THAT HAS HAPPENED in DC in decades.

[MrLarry-mzzz]

ABC bias much? You should replace the word "loyalist" with "qualified".

[ShamooStu]

Democrats haven't been this angry since Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery.

[DaveyCrockett]

Raskin needs to be charged for the lies he's pushed this whole time.

[showtimeman]

This propaganda stinks. I am so glad that you've lost your positions of influence.

[DoubleJabSlipRightHand]

Trump could have picked Kamala Harris for the job and the democrats would still be upset.

[cynthiarogacion]

PUKE PUKE LET'S MAKE THE RATING OF THIS SHOW GO DOWN...

[timblossom]

Who decides the facts you're reporting?

[kb]

Not one mention of all the wrong doing of the FBI in this segment has me thinking why ABC is being biased

[kerfymon]

lol.. I guess ABC wil be on the hit list ..

[susaninnes]

Thank you President Trump for hearing our voices for Kash Petal for FBI DIRECTOR

[doughowell]

I am glad to see he has learned who his enemies are.

[delenashaw-flsh]

ABC no wonder your ratings are bad, Do your homework stop your lying

[Bebo-pyvp]

False claims my butt. It’s true and Kash will expose it.

[bekki]

😂 so much squirming on this nomination. I love it.

[gdurant]

They need to get a federal judge in the supreme Court as well to put an order out that all records must be preserved! If records are tampered with or destroyed that's an automatic felony and a 30-year prison sentence!

ABC News might be sweating a bit. That edited 60 Minutes interview (of Kamala Harris, days before the election) could come back to bite them if Patel decides to dig into how the media handles truth and accountability. Things could get interesting!
