As we reported, President-elect Donald Trump has now nominated Kash Patel for the spot of FBI Director.
Patel is a big favorite of Trump supporters and it’s also going to be hard to argue that he isn’t qualified. He’s an attorney who has handled many trials, and served as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council.
How do you know it’s a good pick? All the right people are upset. They know that Patel is not just going to be a status quo, ordinary Republican, and that he’s going to clean things up.
Former FBI official Andrew McCabe was throwing a fit on CNN immediately after the announcement. Imagine CNN having the disgraced McCabe on for an opinion about anything, much less about this.

It’s a terrible development for the men and women of the FBI and also for the nation that depends on a highly functioning, professional, independent Federal Bureau of Investigation.The fact that Kash Patel is profoundly unqualified for this job is not even like a matter for debate.
What we should really be thinking about right now is what does this signal in terms of Donald Trump’s intent for the FBI?
Such a nomination “can only possibly be a plan to disrupt, to dismantle, to distract the FBI,” McCabe said, and “to possibly” use the FBI as a “tool” for Trump’s “political agenda.”
There is a plan to “disrupt” and “dismantle” — any further misuse or weaponization of the FBI. This is one of those positions that the people have given Trump a mandate to address, and Patel has made it clear he will turn the focus back on fighting crime again, as he said on the “Shawn Ryan” show.

Many saw McCabe’s being against him as a great recommendation.
The anti-Trump forces and the folks on the left are already having real fits. And it isn’t even January yet, when the Trump team is going to come in and truly start remaking things. The people want to get the job done, and that’s why they voted for President-elect Donald Trump. This is one of those appointments that the Democrats are likely to fight tooth and nail, and the Republicans need to hold together to get it through, to uphold the mandate of the people.
