No One Worse for the FBI Than Kash Patel

 

Senior FBI officials who had been promoted under Christopher A. Wray (who already stepped down as FBI director this month because Trump was going to fire him for being way too dedicated to the actual law) have been told in a Trump admin memo that's been leaked to the NYTimes ... to resign in a matter of days or be fired.

In an email to colleagues, one of the senior agents said he had learned he would be dismissed “from the rolls of the F.B.I.” as soon as Monday morning.

Meanwhile in a Senate hearing room, Kash Patel, the president’s nominee to lead the FBI, was struggling to keep his Ming the Merciless true self under tight wraps, trying to assure senators that he would not begin a campaign of retribution or look backward by pursuing perceived enemies. (This the nominee who has an actual written-down "enemies list" that actual humans have seen and read.)

Will the doormat Republican senators accept this horror for the job? Knowing, as they must know by now -- given the leak referenced above -- that the dictator intends to eliminate everyone who knows the full dirt on his past crimes. And ethical lapses. And downright immoral sins.

Trump gets the secret police force under his thumb, there's none of us safe from harassment or worse.
