One month ago, in late June 2025, Senator Tom Cotton proposed legislation slashing the workforce of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) led by MAGA favorite Tulsi Gabbard.
Cotton proposed cutting the ODNI staff from 1,600 to 650 employees.
This was just weeks before Director Tulsi Gabbard released the first documents proving Barack Obama was intimately involved and calling the shots in the Trump-Russia deep state hoax.
Cotton has also been a staunch supporter in Ukraine’s losing war against Russia despite the fact that the US has spent over $180 billion on the effort and no one knows where all the money went.
So on Saturday, when Senator Cotton announced he was working with FBI Director Kash Patel in a full review of James Comey’s actions during his tenure as FBI Director, Trump supporters were completely skeptical.
Cotton wrote: “James Comey’s bias against President Trump calls into question everything he did as FBI Director. I’m working with Kash Patel on a full review of every FBI action Comey carried out during his tenure as director.”
The responses to Cotton’s partnership with Kash Patel were brutal.
Nick Sorter: “Hey, Kash, don’t give this deep state puppet anything at all.”
Hey @Kash_Patel: don’t give this deep state puppet anything at all.
Tom Cotton will just forward all the info to his deep state friends like Comey and blow the entire investigation.

MAHA Mom: “Stop interjecting yourself in these investigations. We know why you’re doing it. The days of ‘friendlies’ trying to sabotage the truth is over!
Director Kash, Cotton is not working in our best interest (allegedly). Keep him at arm’s length.”

Southern Shaker: “Director Kash, do not bring this guy into the fold when it comes to this investigation. All he will do is leak it to the media and his deep state puppets on the left. He cannot be trusted!”

You get the picture.
Cotton’s entire thread is filled with comments like this! Nobody is buying it.
