Kash Patel admits under oath FBI is buying location data of Americans from 3rd party brokers.

Dems trying to close loophole.

Christopher Wray, former director, said under oath that FBI was not buying data at the time,but had done so in past.

Wray was fired because he said "shrapnel may have hit (Trump's) ear" at Hearing. T. was angry. "I said I was hit. He said "it might have been shrapnel'"

(Summer 2024 assassination attempt) Photos showed T's ear and cheek not torn, only blood colored liquid flowing across his cheek--some have said it was faked.

Trump has had a long time grudge against Comey. Comey said T. demanded his loyalty--see book A Different Kind of Loyalty.

T. has been out to get Comey since 1.0.

T. entertained Lavrov and Kislyak in Oval day after Comey fired--Comey was on a trip and only learned of it from TV screen in real time while he was giving a speech in LA.

American media learned of it only from Russian media--not from then WH --

Comey was denied use of FBI jet to get home. -- 3-19-2026
