Patel and Trump have accused the Biden administration of &#8220;weaponizing&#8221; the agency against Trump&#8217;s political adversaries. What the new guy has suggested doing makes any accusation of Biden&#8217;s weaponization laughable on its face.<\/p>\n<p>He said he wants to close the agency and turn it into a museum to commemorate the &#8220;deep state,&#8221; whatever the f*** that is. He vows to launch probes into special counsel Jack Smith&#8217;s work on behalf of the attorney general to prosecute Trump for crimes against the government. He wouldn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Patel refuses to answer direct questions about whether he would say &#8220;no&#8221; to an order from Trump that is illegal. Nor does he acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Kash Patel gets my nod as the worst of the sorry bunch still awaiting Senate confirmation. The sad truth, apparently, is that he&#8217;ll get confirmed.
