In a Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday, feckless Democrat senators grilled Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, trying to paint him as a Trump henchman hellbent on seeking revenge for all the crap the FBI put Trump and American citizens through.
It’s no wonder they are worried; the nation has seen how the FBI has been turned into a political weapon, and Democrats don’t want it pointed at them.
The Federalist has written extensively about corruption within the FBI under Democrats’ watch, including the Russia collusion hoax that Patel helped disprove; the gun-toting dawn raids on the homes of nonviolent citizens; the overreaching invasion of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home; and the tampering in the federal election by concealing the legitimacy of Hunter Biden’s incriminating laptop.
Democrats called Patel a conspiracy theorist and a Trump loyalist. They asked him many times whom he intended to go after on Trump’s behalf and whether he would ever tell Trump he would not pursue a case, implying that it is both Trump’s and Patel’s plan to misuse the FBI.
“Any accusations leveled against me that I would somehow put political bias before the Constitution are grotesquely unfair,” Patel said. “I will have you reminded that I have been endorsed by over 300,000 law enforcement officers to become the next director of the FBI.”
They could not stomach this much-repeated answer.

BTW, I noticed that the WSJ is running a hit piece on a Trump nominee each day. Today it was on Tulsi Gabbard. The article reads like it was written by the Obama DOJ or CIA. The left is using every trick in the book to stop Trump's nominees from being confirmed. Any Republican Senator who falls for their schemes needs to be primaried asap.
Get them ALL approved.
Lives are at stake !
We need a functioning government ASAP.
Kash Patel kicked their asses today. Yee Haw.
If they worry democrats then they’re perfect for the job. Confirm all of them!
The Democrats are worried that Kash will expose all the BS that they did for the Democrats.
I think Patel is in, but I am not optimistic about Tulsi and RFK Jr.
But if I could only have one of the three, I’d go with Patel.
Get them ALL approved.
Lives are at stake !
We need a functioning government ASAP.
Expanding Gitmo’s capacity is a Good Thing.
A minor reduction in the pop. of DC would be a Good Thing too.
I think RFK jr is likely to make it. I would not put money on Tulsi Gabbard.

Reading the title I thought this would be from the Babylon Bee.
To be honest, I clicked the link to check for a Bee sting, as well!
I’m afraid the Snowden thing is going to ruin her with the Republicans. That was always going to be her achilles heel.
Oh, the poor dears! They must be devastated!
WSJ is an awful pile of globalist corporatist deep state wankers these days.
“Reading the title I thought this would be from the Babylon Bee.”
I think BB had an article with a similar headline in the past couple of days.
Patel was great! As was Gabbard.
There are people with a lot of money threatening the RINOs with well-funded primary opposition if they refuse to confirm Trump’s nominees. We will see how many pay attention.
p
the left would know all about weaponizing the FBI- they did so against Pres Trump and anyone associated with him!
they should think long and hard about their political future before voting against Gabbard
