Of the remaining appointees to the Donald Trump Cabinet who remain quite problematic, I am going to single out of them as being the worst of the bunch.
FBI director-designate Kash Patel is utterly, completely and unquestionably unfit for the job he says he wants. Trump picked him, I guess, because Patel has all but declared war on the very agency he wants to lead.
How in the name of law enforcement can anyone justify this moron’s ascent into the FBI directorship? Patel and Trump have accused the Biden administration of “weaponizing” the agency against Trump’s political adversaries. What the new guy has suggested doing makes any accusation of Biden’s weaponization laughable on its face.
He said he wants to close the agency and turn it into a museum to commemorate the “deep state,” whatever the f*** that is. He vows to launch probes into special counsel Jack Smith’s work on behalf of the attorney general to prosecute Trump for crimes against the government. He wouldn’s shirk at any notion to prosecute the Jan. 6 House select committee that probed the insurrection that sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Patel refuses to answer direct questions about whether he would say “no” to an order from Trump that is illegal. Nor does he acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
The clown is part of the Big Lie cabal that has no business serving as a top law enforcement official in our cherished federal government.
Kash Patel gets my nod as the worst of the sorry bunch still awaiting Senate confirmation. The sad truth, apparently, is that he’ll get confirmed. God help us.
