The nomination of Kash Patel to lead the FBI was advanced by the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, placing him in a position to lead arguably the most important law enforcement agency in the country — one that has been accused of corruption throughout the Biden administration.
Later this week, Patel, who Democrats say is Trump’s most “controversial” nominee, will face a final confirmation vote after the Senate voted 48-45 along party lines.
As a former intelligence and defense department official during Trump’s first term, Patel has advocated for a drastic overhaul of the FBI, promising to increase its involvement in combating violent crime and illegal immigration — two issues that are crucial to Trump’s agenda.
He has also vowed to put a stop to the major drug trafficking operations that have allowed the flow of fentanyl and other dangerous drugs into the U.S.
Patel has been one of the most outspoken opponents of “lawfare” FBI investigations of Trump on a variety of topics, including allegations of rigging the 2020 election, the alleged retention of confidential documents at his Florida club, and the now-debunked “Russian collusion” theory floated by Democrats during the 2016 election.
Meanwhile, despite his past experience in the DOJ, and the fact that he was given an award by the Obama administration for his excellent work in investigating, prosecuting, and convicting terrorists — Democrats have still deemed him “unfit” to lead the FBI.
Last week, a Senate panel voted 12-10 to send his nomination to the full Senate.

Cant you just hear the defecation going on in the rat circles
Kash seems like a “tossing chairs and flipping desks” kind of guy. This oughta be fun to watch.
Yes need more like him.
aka progress
Kash is clearly the cabinet member they would fear the most.
His tenure will be epic.
I am thinking/hoping Trump is going easy with all of these whack a mole Judges until he gets his Cabinet seated. I think we are up to 12 hack Judges now.
Mad Maxine’s far-left howlin’ H.Y.E.N.A.s need to get off their asses, get a shrink to help them get over last November’s election and get with the program. Patel has a lot of work to do and is chomping at the bit to get started. The RATS need to confirm him and they can go back to singing the negro spirituals and doing the Beetlejuice DAY-O Conga line dance in the streets. We’ve got a country to make great again.
The most important one in the administration.
THEY are STALLING as long as possible to cover up/DELETE as much as possible
Looking good, so far.
Kash will dump the corrupt ones...
“Kash is clearly the cabinet member they would fear the most.”
Hopefully that fear does realize into a fatal ‘accident’ for Kash ...
Remember UpChuck Schumer’s words “the FBI has six ways from Sunday to get to you ...”
All it takes is someone desperate enough to ‘take one for the team ...’
I Agree!
I Agree!
