Dems Worry Kash Patel Could Weaponize FBI Against Political Enemies Like They Did

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 concealing the legitimacy of Hunter Biden’s incriminating laptop.
Democrats called Patel a conspiracy theorist and a Trump loyalist. They asked him many times whom he intended to go after on Trump’s behalf and whether he would ever tell Trump he would not pursue a case, implying that it is both Trump’s and Patel’s plan to misuse the FBI.
“Any accusations leveled against me that I would somehow put political bias before the Constitution are grotesquely unfair,” Patel said. “I will have you reminded that I have been endorsed by over 300,000 law enforcement officers to become the next director of the FBI.”
They could not stomach this much-repeated answer.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Democrats and the deep state are really worried that Patel will be confirmed.
BTW, I noticed that the WSJ is running a hit piece on a Trump nominee each day. Today it was on Tulsi Gabbard. The article reads like it was written by the Obama DOJ or CIA. The left is using every trick in the book to stop Trump's nominees from being confirmed. Any Republican Senator who falls for their schemes needs to be primaried asap.

The Democrats are worried that Kash will expose all the BS that they did for the Democrats.

I think Patel is in, but I am not optimistic about Tulsi and RFK Jr.
But if I could only have one of the three, I’d go with Patel.

Expanding Gitmo’s capacity is a Good Thing.
A minor reduction in the pop. of DC would be a Good Thing too.

I think RFK jr is likely to make it. I would not put money on Tulsi Gabbard.
