K$H to Eat Crow for FBI Appointment

Trump II's FBI nominee Kashyap Patel said this about his plans for the agency:

“I’d shut down the FBI Hoover Building on day one and reopen it the next day as a museum of the ‘deep state."  

Might it have a giant gift shop with lots of merchandise from Based Apparel and kids books on an Orange King being treated unfairly by his enemies?  Kash could install a Florida swamp to make his Palm Beach and Sarasota friends feel right at home.

Stop the presses!  It seems those words were simply hyperbole:

Patel got backing from Senator John Cornyn, who told reporters he expected Patel to be confirmed as FBI director and dismissed concerns about his plans for the FBI as rhetoric. “I interpret that as hyperbole and I think he will tell you that same thing,” he said.

Many voters viewed Trump's emphasis on retribution as hyperbole.  Many of Trump's political appointments are a middle finger to America.  Kash Patel's appointment as FBI Director is consistent with Trump II's revenge theme.  Having the order taker recant does not inspire confidence if the order giver remains in full retaliation mode.

Everyone in Trump's circle is subservient.  Kash is no exception.  That may be his greatest skill.

Patel served on the board of Trump Media & Technology Group for no board compensation.  He did get a $120,000 per year consulting contract from the company.

Trump owns 78.7 million shares of TMTG, which trades under the DJT stock symbol.  Kash has no shares according to the SEC filing.

Kash Patel's Trishul LLC is a vendor for political action committees according to Open Secrets.

Friends of Matt Gaetz paid Trishul $145,000 during the 2022 election cycle, while Save America paid nearly $40,000 over the same period.

Kash gets by with a little help from his friends.  Like Elon Musk, Kash has a nonprofit that gives away very little money.

Voters are frustrated by insiders not having to follow laws or rules.  The FBI Director is the country's top lawman.  But what's to enforce when anything goes?

Conflicts of interest are the way, the Truth Social and the PEU.....   Crank up the insider money funnel.  It's the Red Team's turn to steer Uncle Sam's wallet to their friends.  They do need some high profile diversions for the public not to notice the milking.  K$H can do it.

Update:  I added Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes' new appointment as Chair of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board.  That makes three Truth Social board members nominated thus far.  There are many slots to go.

Devin Nunes received 1,300,325 restricted stock units in Trump Media and Technology Group on 11-2-24.

Update12-16-24:  One columnist believes "order taker" Kash will turn the FBI into the Federal Bureau of Retribution.
