Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said it's unlikely that he would receive Senate confirmation because committee members are 'just safeguarding that (CIA) directorship and I would be very, very dangerous for those committees.'
(LifeSiteNews) — Former presidential candidate turned Donald Trump supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Tucker Carlson this week that he would definitely serve as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
“If you were asked, would you run it?” Carlson asked.
“Yes, I would,” Kennedy replied. “But I would never get Senate confirmation.”
Kennedy made major news last week when just one day after the Democratic National Convention he endorsed the former president in his bid for the Oval Office.
Kennedy was given a hero’s welcome by Trump at a rally in Arizona, during which he spoke about the need to end childhood illnesses and the “chronic disease epidemic” in America.
Kennedy’s interview with Carlson indicates he has a sober grasp of the power the Deep State has over U.S. politics.
“As you know, the intelligence (agencies) are protected by very, very powerful committees in the Senate and the House,” Kennedy remarked. “And the people who serve on those committees … they’re just safeguarding that (CIA) directorship and I would be very, very dangerous for those committees.”
The pair additionally spoke about other areas of agreement between Kennedy and President Trump as well, in particular Trump’s promise to establish a commission to declassify the remaining documents pertaining to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.
“I think everyone at this point knows the truth, which is the CIA is implicated in that. Those documents protect (the) CIA, maybe among others,” Carlson said.
“It’s odd that they’ve not allowed them to be released,” Kennedy replied. “It clearly is to protect the institution … and that’s wrong.”
Both Kennedy and Carlson noted that it was Mike Pompeo, a neocon who served as Trump’s CIA director in 2017-2018 who pressured Trump to not declassify those documents while he was in office for his first term.
While a formal role in Trump’s second administration has not been announced, Kennedy revealed that he is working on policy issues with the campaign at the moment and that if Trump wins he will be helping with the transition team to select persons who will run the government.
During an appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show podcast this week, Trump admitted that when he first won in 2016, he didn’t really know who to hire and that this time around he would select different people to fill key positions.
“I was a New York person, not a Washington, D.C. person,” he said. “In retrospect, I also picked some people I wouldn’t have picked. Now I know the smart ones, the dumb ones, the weak ones, the solid ones.”
Kennedy also said that he believes a historic political realignment is taking place as the Democratic Party has become the party of war and censorship ushering in a “corrupt” merger between state and corporate power.
On Monday, former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard followed in Kennedy’s footsteps and endorsed Trump at a rally for the National Guard Association in Detroit. Gabbard’s defection is significant in that she was a rising star on the political left not long ago, having served as vice chair of the Democratic National Party from 2013 until 2016. She resigned from that position in disgust after the presidential primary was rigged to ensure Hillary Clinton and not Bernie Sanders would be the nominee.

Someone is likely to get knocked off by FedGov before November.
ABSOLUTELY NOT! He hasn’t demonstrated ACTUAL loyalty to MAGA ideals that would have PROVEN his good faith.
So what’s in the JFK records that Pompeo allegedly begged Trump not to release? The most obvious guess, one that’s been assumed for years, is that Oswald was an “asset” of one sort or another.
I want him to serve as the FDA director.
This is getting out of control …….
He has already said he doesn’t believe in a lot of things that Trump believes in. He will never be maga.
Trump should make Vivek Ramaswamy CIA director and order him to liquidat thee agency. Then Trump should make him FBI director with the same mission.
well in all reality...neither have you. just sayin’.
lol, I am sure they won’t let that happen.
Kennedy’s knowledge of the corrupt insiders can be used in a multifaceted manner. And I have no doubt Trump would agree.☺
Well, I mean, who wouldn’t want such a level headed guy in charge of a major agency?

I can think of far worse choices - RFK Jr. has every motivation to lift up the rock the CIA has been hiding under for decades and let some sunlight in.
I get it, you’re one of those old insider GOP pro-Boosh, profits regardless of consequences crowd.
That’s got to butt hurt!
As Schumer said, “Six ways”.
Trump is not a good politician. Thinking you could manage the Swamp as a CEO is sadly mistaken. Too many “Webe’s”
I’d rather see him investigating the FDA, CDC, NIH, etc....
Yes, the best of reasons.
Dems would NEVER approve of him because he would release EVERYTHING and the last thing the commies want is for all the cats to be let out of the bag
