WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO KASH PATEL?
Since the inception, he has been one of my most anxious picks and also one of my most worrisome ones.
I looked up Trump's cabinet, Kash is not even listed as pending certification. So I looked up Trump's administration, Kash is not even listed as one of Trump's pending picks there. So I looked up Trump's second presidency in general--- nope, no mention of Kash. Everyone else is listed but him.
I wonder because every pick of Trump's has been successful in getting confirmed up to now, but I watched this morning as they were just ripping into Kash as a veritable psycho with a meat cleaver. As if Kash would be Trump's official Officer of Mad Revenge, yet I see him as a key cornerstone to the success of the Trump administration. Other than Kash, every other administration official I care about has passed certification:
- Secretary of Defense - Pete Hegseth
- Attorney General - Pam Bondi
- Secretary of HHS - RFK Jr.
- Secretary of Homeland Security - Kristi Noem
- Director of National Intelligence - Tulsi Gabbard
- and many other good people.
But no mention of Kash Patel as Director of the FBI.
Add to that an apparent long list of past actions and statements by Kash now being used against him.
I'm worried that he will be the one person to fail confirmation, and that would be a loss.
