President Trump has officially nominated Kash Patel for the role of FBI Director in his next Administration.
This comes after rumors that deep-state hack Mike Rogers was in consideration for the role were quashed by longtime Trump adviser Dan Scavino.
Rogers, as The Gateway Pundit reported, conceded his highly questionable Senate race in Michigan despite Trump winning, and he was very vocal in trashing President Trump in 2020 for challenging the rigged election. He would be a horrible pick for FBI director, especially concerning election integrity.
Earlier this month, Congressman-elect Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) predicted that Patel would be selected, telling The Gateway Pundit, “He’ll do amazing at the FBI” and noting that “he’s been very loyal to President Trump since the first Russia Collusion Hoax.”
Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post, commending Kash Patel’s career of “exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People.”
“He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution,” President Trump continued.
“This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border.”

It will be interesting to see what his advance teams will uncover in the lines of traps and sabotage!
The FBI has secrets buried so deep, we may never get to them.

Trump can nominate whomever he likes but that doesn't mean any of hios picks will be accepted. Most of the people he chose during his first administration weren't, because they weren't corrupt enough.
We'll just have to see how many career politicians are working for the betterment of America or for their personal wealth and power.

President Trump's 2017 administration consisted mostly of people who were referred to him by "deep state career bureaucrats". Trump didn't know much about government back then. Because his nominees for the most powerful positions were referred to him by the network of corrupted good-old-boys, these nominees were easily approved by the Senate.
Example: FBI Director Christopher Wray was referred to President Trump by former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Now we know that Christie became angry at Trump for not appointing him to a top position in his administration. Out of spite, Christie suggested Wray to Trump as a "superb candidate" for FBI Director.

That's the fun part, they don't.
Recess appointments. He's already got Speaker Johnson on board.

You couldn't ask for a better pick for FBI director.
Follow the law.

I have not been this stunned, surprised, shocked or taken aback since President-Elect Donald Trump announced Matt Gaetz as the next United States Attorney General.
Using his Truth Social account to capture attention, President Donald Trump announces, “Kashyap “Kash” Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
As interesting as the announcement is, so too is the wording President Trump selected; not “nominated“, not “appointed,” a simple “will serve as“… Thereby leaving the maximum amount of interpretability available for the consumer of the announcement.
This has to be the most Trumpian announcement in the history of some very Trumpian announcements.
FBI Director Christopher Wray has approximately two years left on his term, and he has not announced his resignation. It should also be noted President-Elect Donald Trump did not say anything about firing Chris Wray, which would be in bad form considering that President Trump couldn’t even entertain the approach until he is officially inaugurated in January.
That dynamic quickly triggered the FBI to respond with: “Every day, the men and women of the FBI continue to work to protect Americans from a growing array of threats. Director Wray’s focus remains on the men and women of the FBI, the people we do the work with, and the people we do the work for.”
One element is certain. By saying, “Kash will work under our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI,” you can be guaranteed Bondi is going to be asked about it during her confirmation hearings.
So, what does all this mean?
I have no idea, and, quite frankly, knowing Trump, I’m not going near this with a 10-foot pole.
Perhaps it is better to wait a little while and wait until someone asks President-elect Donald Trump how exactly Kash Patel is going to “serve as” the FBI Director, and what approach President Trump will take in order to make that announcement turn into a reality.
I’m sure Chris Wray, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell and John Thune will also be watching earnestly to see what President Trump proposes.
The level of ‘splodey heads amid the current and former FBI officials, in combination with the entire corporate media apparatus that circles American politics, are predictably going to be off-the-charts. The apoplexy visible within the Gaetz nomination will pale in comparison.
Enjoy all of it!

Doesn't matter; his choices still have to pass confirmation and the fact that Trump EVER took advive from the likes of a
sleezaball by like Christie doesn't exactly instill confidence in his ability to judge people.
Hopefully he's learned the difference between how realestate works and government does, cause there's going to be even more people trying to set him up this time around. He made it too easy the first time....
