Summary
Donald Trump has nominated loyalist Kash Patel as FBI director, signaling plans to overhaul the agency and pursue retribution against perceived enemies.
Patel, a former prosecutor and Trump administration official, has pushed for reducing the FBI’s role, targeting media leaks, and investigating Trump’s critics.
Known for his role in the controversial “Nunes Memo” during the Russia investigation, Patel has accused the FBI of bias and surveillance abuses.
His nomination raises questions about Senate confirmation, with Trump suggesting recess appointments if necessary.
Critics warn of radical changes to law enforcement under Patel’s leadership.
You know for the times news corps use slams, fumes, hates, etc to over exaggerate things. They might actually be pretty fitting for Trump. Something about a broken clock being right twice a day.
