I want to talk today about the current nomination process, specifically Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s designate to be director of FBI. It’s causing perhaps as much controversy as the Pete Hegseth nomination for secretary of defense that went through by the tie-breaking vote of Vice President JD Vance. And surely, the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Health and Human Services nomination will incur similar controversy.
But why are people so angry or upset on the Left about Kash Patel? Because, ostensibly, he’s been a public defender. He’s been a federal prosecutor. He’s worked in the executive branch, in the Department of Defense. He’s worked in the legislative branch attached to the House Intelligence Committee.
So, in all of these aspects, he seems like the perfect FBI director. But there’s two reasons why people are very angry about him, of course….
