WASHINGTON -- President-elect Donald Trump has picked Kash Patel to serve as FBI director, turning to a fierce loyalist to upend America's premier law enforcement agency and rid the government of perceived "conspirators." It's the latest bombshell Trump has thrown at the Washington establishment and a test for how far Senate Republicans will go in confirming his nominees.
"I am proud to announce that Kashyap "Kash" Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation," Trump posted Saturday night on Truth Social. "Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and 'America First' fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People."
The selection is in keeping with Trump's view that the government's law enforcement and intelligence agencies require a radical transformation and his stated desire for retribution against supposed adversaries. It shows how Trump, still fuming over years of federal investigations that shadowed his first administration and later led to his indictment, is moving to place atop the FBI and Justice Department close allies he believes will protect rather than scrutinize him.

Best news

I thought the same thing!!
“loyalist”
It sounds as if they’ve got foreigners writing at least some of their tripe.
PDJT is the BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO THIS Country since the founders!
Why is it when Trump nominates someone, they are called a “loyalist” but when a Democrat nominates someone who is a close friend and colleague, they are called “experienced and well-respected by the party”?
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Lol

Quick somebody go and nail the windows shut in the FBI building!
Hell yes!

“...fuming...”
Trump has had enough, as well he should.
“Video, CNN, Andrew McCabe Slams Trump’s selection of Kash Patel for FBI Director”
If Cash is 10% what he seems, McCabe will only be available from a remote feed, from a location without an extradition treaty to the US.
This should be very interesting. I understand backgrounds on appointees are going be contracted out rather than rigged by Bureau agents.
Has there ever been a Democrat President-elect whose cabinet appointments were described by legacy media as “loyalists”?
What…they were holding out for Liz Cheney?!?
