Kash Patel is striking fear into the hearts of the Department of Justice workers, both current and former. He was briefly smeared as a crazy person and a Trump loyalist who would smash up the agency. I didn’t need any more convincing regarding the pick—I want him. Any person disgraced former FBI official Andrew McCabe finds deplorable is the right choice.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), once viewed as Mitch McConnell’s heir apparent, declared on Hugh Hewitt’s show that Mr. Patel has enough votes for confirmation.

“Yes, he will be [confirmed],” Cornyn told Hewitt yesterday.

I heard earlier from sources I consider to be very reliable that Mr. Patel is the real deal; he’s our man.

This is terrible news. I was hoping Patel was going to do something good. If he has the approval of the criminals in Congress, he obviously isn’t as good as I thought.

50 days left?!

I can’t believe it.

We might actually see a couple people in the government get fired.

And anyone in DOJ shaking in their boots must know they crossed the line of the law and deserve to be relieved of duty!

I don’t think you need to get down about it yet. 54% of Americans are looking forward to the Trump transition, and if they’re in a non-blue state that can’t count forever after an election, then there’s a good chance they could end up like Liz Cheney if they vote against Trump’s pics.

He’s coming in a LOT stronger that 2016.

I heard Mark Levin singing Patel's praises the other night. Levin has never been a squish, and does his research, in my observation. What do you think?

The Trump appointees should clean house. Get the Obama appointees out of there.

Everyone of Trump’s appointments should be a slam dunk immediate pass. Senators in the way need to be punished.

I'd rather hear that confirmation from Thune, the majority leader, but as Mitch McConnell's sock puppet, I think Cornyn probably knows the count. Both Thune and Cornyn need to be primaried as soon as possible.

Great news on Patel - we need guys willing and able to clean up these corrupt institutions from Day One, and no agency in the federal government has become more politicized and less trustworthy than the FBI.
