CNN: Trump Considering Grifter Kash Patel To Head FBI

CNN reports:

Donald Trump is weighing a push from right-wing allies to nominate Kash Patel to lead the FBI, one of the clearest indications the president-elect plans to stick by his vow to fire Director Christopher Wray before his 10-year term ends and replace him with a loyalist. Even among Trump loyalists, Patel is widely viewed as a controversial figure and relentless self-promoter whose value largely derives from a shared disdain for the so-called deep state.

While sources said he’s been lobbying for the FBI position – including speaking to Trump directly about a position in the administration – he also pushed for the role of CIA director, which ultimately went to John Ratcliffe. Patel rose to prominence within Trump’s orbit in 2018 when he served as an aide to Rep. Devin Nunes, who was the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee Nunes at the time.

Read the full article. Patel is currently hawking some concoction that supposedly reverses the effect of COVID vaccinations. Yeah.

Trump is floating crazy Kash Patel for FBI Director to replace Chris Wray. Patel has advocated for the arrest of journalists who are not sufficiently loyal to Trump. You know, like Hitler did. We tried to warn you…
