The Senate on Thursday narrowly voted to confirm Kash Patel

Once Sec Hegseth was confirmed, I pretty much knew the other nominees would also be confirmed.

The Republican Congress has shown that it has ceded its checks and balances Constitutional role to oblivion.

They are like a deer in the headlight, only evil. An evil loyal Trumper deer, I suppose.

I watched him over and over say in Committee that there would be no Loyalty over Law in his DoJ.

I have good money bet that it happens on day one.

Literally the last Trump DoJ Dir, a Trumper through and through, and his entire Trumper Staff threatened to quit if he tried to force them to sign off on the Fake Electors Letter he wanted to send to the States, so he could overthrow the Election while his violent mob of thugs attacked the Capitol.

And THEN those same DoJ Trumpers testified along with dozens of others Under Oath to Trump's crimes... only to have the Cowardly Republicans refuse to follow the Law and convict him.

That's the truth and it's what will be in the History books... unless mindless unpatriotic Trumpers write them.

From Patel book, Government Gangsters.

"the root of Russia Gate is the Steele Dossier paid for by the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign and the DNC."

"The documents we had compiled were proving the case that the Russian collusion narrative was a Democrat-funded, government-perpetrated crime of historic proportions."

"The money directly came from the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democrat National Committee (DNC). They sent millions through their law firm, Perkins Coie, to pay Fusion GPS for the Steele Dossier and more. That meant the Trump campaign was spied on based upon opposition research paid for by the Democrats to the tune of millions of dollars."

"Russia Gate scandal was a coordinated disinformation campaign conducted by the FBI, the Clinton campaign, the fake news mafia"

Folks...this man is now the director of the FBI.

He had to fight people in the FBI to get info for his book.

The next 4 years should be interesting.

#27 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2025-02-20 06:38 PM

This figures. In the entire history of the FBI, they never had a man of color as Director. Now the American people finally get one, but he's a rightwing, sychophantic psychopath. Americans should feel safer with this man leading the FBI and Tulsi Gabbard as ODNI.

That's fkkking hilarious.

Laura was right. You're just spreading lies and bullshht.

Kash is a compromised liar who was hired to protect Trump and attack anyone he perceives as Trump's adversary.

Everything you quoted is 100% a lie by that idiot.

You're an idiot for posting it.
