    Another Trump DEI hire. This guy is laughably unqualified, just like 90% of his appointments.

    Hmmm a Qanon guy who spent his time out of government working for Russia and Qatar (to be fair, he will also be working for one of Qatar's lobbyists in Pam Bondi).

    As opposed to the guy who will have the least qualified cabinet in history. Trump has had more nominees for cabinet and cabinet level positions confirmed on strictly party line votes Patel being the most recent with a 51-49 confirmation vote margin. In contrast Christopher Wray Trump's nominee for Director of the FBI in his last administration was confirmed by a 92-5 vote margin.

    Although it's completely irrelevant Trump couldn't even post the correct vote total, it was 51-49 not 51-47, but I guess he didn't count Collins and Murkowski since they were Republicans who voted against confirmation.

    Yeah, no problem. Here ya go. This filmmaker obviously receives direct payment or benefits from the Kremlin, in exchange for pushing the Kremlin's agenda. Then he paid Patel for ........ well, I guess we'll see?

    Don't you wish people would read and learn more, so they didn't vote for people who nominate Russian assets to jobs requiring confidence and secrecy? It's downright un-American, no?



    President Donald Trump’s nominee to be FBI Director, Kash Patel, was paid $25,000 by a Russian filmmaker with connections to the Kremlin, The Washington Post reports.

    Documents obtained by the paper reveal that Patel was paid by Global Tree Pictures, a film company owned by Igor Lopatonok, a Russian national who also holds U.S. citizenship.


    Lopatanok has produced shows pushing U.S. “deep state” conspiracy theories and views skeptical of the West, which are also relentlessly promoted by the Kremlin, a financial disclosure form submitted by Patel as part of his confirmation process revealed.

    Kash Patel paid by Russian filmmaker close to Kremlin: Report

    So he wasn't paid by the Russian government, but by a person who holds both US and Russian citizenship.

    LOL. He was paid by a Russian media figure who pushes Kremlin narratives. Which essentially is the Russian government.

    You sure do split hairs in order to justify the appointment of a totally unqualified Russian-influenced lackey to be in charge to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It's absurd.

    But ..... that's you, I guess. TRUMP!!!!
