How long until the democRATs in congress get their hands on the background check files?

Why even give them the chance?

I think there is a bunch of behind the scenes negotiating with the Senate going on.

He’s not gone wobbly… he let the Kash Patel nomination sink in.

If they mess with him on Patel’s watch, it’s at their peril.

Another thread.

Same reactions.

Just shaking my head.

I keep having nightmares of wheels coming off this whole thing and I began having them when I heard the names Pam Bondi and Marco Rubio. I also thought the “Presidential Transition” was going to be handled entirely “outside” of the ambit of the federal government. And that process was going to be funded by big-dollar Trump contributors. Signing this kind of agreement seems like it would be a refutation of that plan.

It’s not him going wobbly but as I understand it, the RINOs in the Senate are insisting on it and, unfortunately, they still hold power to do so.

I think that’s it. Kash Patel is tremendously important. At this point, any FBI agents who mess with Trump are just cutting their own throats.

FBI leadership sucks - but many at the bottom are competent.

It's important to remember newspapers hate Trump and are incapable of honest reporting.

While you're at it ask yourself why none of the press bimbos from the NYT's or Washington Post have bothered to follow one of the "lost" illegal children from 'place found' to the 'mother' on the piece of paper. The "poor mother" who put out $8,000 to have her two year old transported by criminal cartels... Does that make sense to anyone with an IQ over 75? Or a member of the press?

Hey press bimbos - the kid is being sold to perverts. Often a hundred kids go to the same 'aunt' at the same address... Stop being stupid. And while you're at it ask why YOUR editors don't give a damn about these children UNLESS they can be used against Trump?

I’m not too worried about this. They missed the bald headed, luggage stealing tranny and the corrupt, nepotism baby on Ukraine energy boards in the last administration.

I think our guys are safe.

“Signing this kind of agreement seems like it would be a refutation of that plan.”

Both Collins and Murkowski have stated they would not vote to confirm ANY of Trump’s nominees that did not undergo an FBI background check.

Petty games are always afoot.

Refusing to do the FBI background checks gave too much political cover to GOP senators who are opposed to Trump’s cabinet picks but don’t want to say it openly.

“I won’t confirm X because he/she hasn’t been subject to a background check” is a politically safe approach … as opposed to: “I won’t confirm X because Trump wants to undermine the companies and government offices that bankroll my campaigns and hire my family members.”

Trump won't go wobbly with the FBI. He's about to carve them up like a holiday turkey.

Being a builder in NYC, Trump grew up having to deal with the organized crime. The mafia is one hell of a lot smarter and meaner than the FBI.

These are the raw reports that are virtually worthless. Your neighbors wife likes you more than her husband so she trashes you to hide that when they do the interview. You other neighbor trashes you because he doesn’t like you. Loose loose.
