We’ve learned that President-elect Donald Trump has announced that he will nominate Kash Patel, a right-wing media personality and member of Trump’s first staff of national security advisers, to replace Christopher Wray as director of the federal agency’s investigation. In our opinion, this is a great idea!

Alleged FBI Director Patel, we fully support you! Don’t send us to a “blogger camp” in rural Oklahoma!

Some observers have questioned whether Patel is qualified for the job and asked whether it would be wise to fire Wray, abandoning the tradition that FBI directors are apolitical figures who serve 10-year terms, but you won’t catch us. Ha ha! No, sir! We believe that Patel – the author of Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth and the Fight for Our Democracywho, we assume, says many succinct and accurate things about the Deep State and gangsters – is an excellent choice that will fill this role adeptly.

Of course, there will be cynics who claim that our position is bolstered by a 2023 interview with longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon, in which Patel said he believed the administration had “conspirators” in “the media.” who “helped Joe” should investigate and possibly imprison “Biden is rigging the presidential election,” presumably by reporting that Joe Biden won the 2020 election but Donald Trump did not. They may not find it plausible that we think the country’s law enforcement apparatus should be led by someone like Patel, who has testified to believing in “Q,” a fictional character on a conspiracy theory forum who purports to reveal secrets Information about a secret and ongoing war between Trump and a worldwide network of satanic cannibal pedophiles.

Admittedly, we’ve had fun with QAnon in the past, and it’s true that we’ve written that we were impressed by Republican claims that the 2020 election was rigged through methods such as voting trucks, secret USB sticks and the use of Chinese hackers. are not convinced about “smart thermostat” networks to remotely control voting machines. But our current position on these previous statements as they relate to patriot Kash Patel’s FBI tenure is that we were just kidding.

Some skeptics may wonder how Patel will go about prosecuting all the “conspirators” who at one time or another contributed to the public perception that Biden’s victory was legitimate, given that this group includes not only journalists, but also include Trump’s own 2024 campaign manager, Trump’s new press secretary and even the director of the most famous film about alleged election fraud in 2020, 2000 mules, Dinesh D’Souza. D’Souza is being sued for defamation by one of the people he portrayed in the film as a “suspicious ballot collector,” and coincidentally, he recently released a statement saying he has become aware of his allegations regarding ballot harvesting.” on the basis of inaccurate information”.

But far be it from us to question the wise and kind Kash Patel, whose intellect and wisdom shines like the morning sun! Our stance on how Kash Patel will solve this mystery is that he will figure it out!

We look forward to the Patel regime and would under no circumstances urge the Senate to reject his nomination on the grounds that he has no credentials or has promised to use the powers of federal law enforcement to take seemingly unconstitutional, revisionist actions To enforce claims of an unstable president about recent events Story!
