    It's pretty obvious that this Trump guy doesn't really care about anyone's ability to do their job, and help the American people. It's been said that loyalty is the number one criteria, but clearly that is second to overlooking Donald Trump's crimes.

    Calling this Patel guy a hack is doing a disservice to hacks.

    Good game, America.



    President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday that he intends to nominate Kash Patel to serve as FBI director, in an extraordinary announcement that once in office Trump would move to replace the current director, Christopher Wray, before his term expires.

    Trump’s interest in Patel speaks to his urge to fill top law enforcement and intelligence positions with supporters who may be open to carrying out his demands for specific investigations as well as inoculating the president against possible future probes.

    Patel rose to prominence within Trump’s orbit in 2018, when he served as an aide to Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee at the time. Patel played a key role in Nunes’ efforts to discredit the FBI’s Russia investigation into the Trump campaign, including a controversial classified memo that alleged FBI abuses of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants on Trump advisers.

    can you imagine being senior fbi staff maybe 2 - 4 years from being vested for retirement?

    entire criminal gangs and prosecutions will be let go. Proud boys, they are good people, no reason to investigate them.

    professionals throughout the fed gubmnt have to be wigging out right now

    He might be a hack, but he is definitely better than Comey

    You cannot find a more loyal, ask no questions, toady for trump if you tried. If he swears an oath to the Constitution he is lying.

    Remember when he said he was there when trump verbally declassified all those documents found at MAL? Then had to take the 5th in front of the grand jury when questioned about it?

    Yay, the Director of the FBI having to take the 5th when questioned about espionage. Great pick

    So what axios calls the most diverse cabinet in US history just got more diverse with the first Indian American being nominated for FBI director. Isn’t that something to celebrate ?

    https://www.axios.com/2024/11/23/trump-liberal-cabinet-rfk-tulsi-gabbard-bessent

    Why it matters: Lost in the noise of Trump's most controversial picks is the simple, undebatable fact that this might be the most ideologically diverse cabinet of modern times

    People were picked for their unifying ideology of being a Trump henchman. RFKs ideology is a million miles from the GOP for instance. What a bunch of kooks you guys empowered. Enjoy!

    Reminder: In the history of the FBI there has been a total of one Democrat leading it from 1973-1978 appointed by Nixon, a Republican. All other FBI heads have been Republicans.

    And he's far better than that clown, Christopher Wray

    Lol... PITBOSS lives inside my ignore list.... I let him out every now and then, but he just irritates me too much with his lack of debate.

    None of the past FBI Directors weaponized the FBI like Comey and Wray have done to that once proud organization. Those two people destroyed every bit of integrity that organization may once have had.

    Most of his picks have been Fox contributors so you are not wrong.

    As I said from day 1, the president and only the president can declassify anything he wants. As soon as Trump took the documents from the White House they were declassified automatically. Trump did nothing illegal. Democrats are slow learners, evidently.

    Meanwhile Joe Biden stole classified documents when he had no authority to declassified them and you say nothing

    Trump supporters have one criteria for whether someone is suitable for a position: do they unwaveringly support Trump, including his criminality.

    Supporting a government that is handpicked to serve one person, instead of the people, is patently un-American. (As was supporting someone who tried to overturn an election. )

    The only thing strange to me is that somehow we're not supposed to say that. Instead, this is just a "bad pick."
