Kittle: Patel’s FBI could shine light on Nashville trans school shooter’s manifesto

By  M.D. Kittle | Commentary, The Federalist For those who believe politically weaponized justice is injustice, Pam Bondi running the Department of Justice and Kash Patel at the helm of the FBI feels like a warm spring breeze after a brutally cold winter. For those who turned federal law enforcement into the Stasi and cheered on the myriad abuses (I’m looking at you Schiff, you weasel), things are about to get, well, difficult.  There’s much to look forward to in the reckoning that Trump 2.0 is bringing to the people who transformed America’s DOJ into a banana republic. It’s long past time for accountability and, hopefully, justice served to the wicked.  Transparency is absolutely essential in that pursuit. Patel could go a long way on that front by ...

U.S. Senate confirms Kash Patel as FBI director on narrow 51-49 vote

By James Lynch | National Review The Senate confirmed Kash Patel Thursday to be the next director of the FBI, setting in motion President Donald Trump’s plans to overhaul the agency after years of scandal tarnished its reputation. Patel was confirmed 51 to 49, with GOP Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska joining Democrats in opposing the confirmation. Senator Mitch McConnell, who cast the lone Republican vote against several of Trump’s other cabinet nominees, voted to confirm Patel. The Senate voted 51-47 earlier Thursday to break the filibuster on Patel’s nomination, setting the stage for the confirmation vote. Patel’s confirmation took place during a tumultuous time for the Justice Department, as several top prosecutors resigned over the Trump administra...

Senate Judiciary Committee advances Kash Patel as FBI director, will face vote in closed Senate executive session

By The Post Millennial The Senate took a procedural step Tuesday toward confirming Kash Patel as FBI director, voting 48-45 along party lines to begin debate on his nomination. The final confirmation vote is expected later this week. Republican senators have expressed strong support for Patel, 44, citing his background as a prosecutor and national security aide in the first Trump administration. They have also praised his commitment to addressing concerns about political “weaponization” within the FBI and refocusing the agency on its core law enforcement responsibilities. During Patel’s confirmation hearings, he vowed to end the weaponization of the FBI as well as censorship coming from the agency and said, “If confirmed I will work with congress to expose any corrupt activities ...

Dems worry Kash Patel could weaponize FBI against political enemies like they did

By Beth Brelje | The Federalist In a Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday, feckless Democrat senators grilled Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, trying to paint him as a Trump henchman hellbent on seeking revenge for all the crap the FBI put Trump and American citizens through. It’s no wonder they are worried; the nation has seen how the FBI has been turned into a political weapon, and Democrats don’t want it pointed at them. The Federalist has written extensively about corruption within the FBI under Democrats’ watch, including the Russia collusion hoax that Patel helped disprove; the gun-toting dawn raids on the homes of nonviolent citizens; the overreaching invasion of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home; and the tampering in the federal election by conceali...

Senate gears up for what could be ‘explosive’ confirmation hearing for Kash Patel

By Samantha-Jo Roth | Washington Examiner Senators on both sides of the aisle are preparing for the confirmation hearing for Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the FBI, a critical test for the 44-year-old lawyer who is seen as one of the most controversial Cabinet nominees. Patel will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, Jan. 30. The MAGA loyalist will be in the hot seat and will be pressed on the more controversial elements of his background, such as his deeply polarizing views about gutting the agency he wants to lead and what critics call an “enemies list” of Patel’s opponents.  Prior to his nomination, Patel flirted with unproven conspiracy theories, including QAnon, made calls to shut down the FBI headq...
