Let me see if I have this straight: Donald J. Trump has accused the Biden administration of “weaponizing” the Justice Department to go after Trumpkins and other MAGA goons, yet the new president has selected a guy, Kash Patel, to run the FBI with the expressed purpose of finding political foes and prosecuting them for unknown reasons.
Talk about weaponization!
Patel, of course, has no business running the nation’s top police force. He is a Trump loyalist and so far has spoken the words the boss wants to hear. I use the term “boss” with caution, because in reality you and I are the bosses. Patel doesn’t see it that way. He sees the president as the boss, is answerable only to him and therefore must be held accountable only by the nimrod sitting behind the Resolute Desk.
Not true, not by a long shot.
Patel is likely to get picked apart by Senate Judiciary Committee members, maybe even some of his fellow Republicans.
I’m tellin’ ya, Donald Trump’s next term as president is going to be one for the books … likely the comic books.
