FBI Director-designate Kash Patel cleared a Senate panel in a party-line vote Thursday, setting up a final confirmation vote as soon as next week.
All 12 GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Patel’s confirmation, while all 10 Democrats on the panel opposed it.
A former public defender, congressional aide and national security official in the first Trump administration, Long Island native Patel received firm backing from Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for having undergone “rigorous vetting” and being committed to rooting out “political bias” at the FBI.

For no last minute shenanigans!
For Vance to be present if need be for a tie.
How many resignations effective immediately after he is confirmed?
You mean ‘Denmnanigans’ or mitch Mcnanigans. Dem heads a poppin’. 👍
This is another one that I am really looking forward to seeing in action.
I think it’s a done deal. Hegseth was the real trial balloon. If he gets through, they all get through.

NEXT WEEK?!
Mitch will still get his baby protest vote, but I don't think any RINO wants to get singled out as the one responsible for POTUS not getting what he wanted.
I think there is a relevant "30 hour rule" that would prevent the vote immediately.
The tweak I’d add to that, is I believe Mitch is already part of the “white hat” team. For him to vote “no” prevents any other wiggle room for any other actual real-life Sinator.
Remember, Mitch has recently “fallen”, bruised, leg-booted and joined the Black Eye Club.
I pray you are right but I am anxious either way.
I was listening to the David Webb show this morning and he played a clip of Al Gore and Slick Willy bragging about how to revamp the government. Part of their plan was to roll the DEA and ATF into the FBI. Obviously, this never happened.
True about Hegseth. Still: not a time to be complacent.
Yeah the delay is ugh. 😒
Agreeing with you in prayer. Kash will clean house.
A bunch of senators want to go to some conference in Germany over the weekend and Thune (apparently) said sure, go ahead. 🤬
HOORAY Kash!
I think the bigger fight might actually be with the Assistant Secretary type of positions. The Cabinet pick makes the headline, but the Asst Secs are most responsible for the day to day functioning of the departments.
Omg what
I thought they canceled their weekend getaway so they could get him in.
