Patel just announced he's going to relook at prior investigations that didn't find anything to see if they missed something.
Why does Trump still keep the idiot around? Turns out because maybe more than anybody else, Patel proved his loyalty to Trump.
During the grand jury in the classified documents case Patel apparently did something that nobody else, not even Trump, was willing to do. He lied in front of a federal grand jury. He told the grand jury that he believed Trump had declassified some if not all of the documents. Patel had stated on Breitbart news he was personally in the room when Trump declassified the documents before leaving office. he said that in 2022 but Trump he claimed did it in 2021 right before he left office.
Trump has said it too but NOBODY was willing to go in front of the court and say it. Even Trump declined to claim it in court filings he said it publicly but his court filings never claimed it.
Patel was granded limited immunity in Nov 2022 and per recent reporting he told the grand jury that it happened despite nobody else being willing to claim it.
Trump took that as the ultimate sign he'll literally lie to a grand jury to protect me
