FBI Director Kash Patel is scheduled to appear before senators Tuesday as he faces growing questions about his ability to lead the nation’s premier law enforcement agency.
Patel’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee was put on the books weeks ago, but comes at a delicate time for the director, who is a loyalist of President Trump but has no experience leading an organization like the FBI.
In just the past week, he has come under criticism for his social media posts and actions during the manhunt for the man who killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk. He’s also been sued by three former senior FBI officials who allege that he fired them for improper political reasons.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone that is both simultaneously as under qualified as him for such a high level position, and who is also aware of how massively unqualified they are.
I mean RFK is definitely just as unqualified for his position, but the worm most have eaten the part of his brain that would make him aware of it
IDK he might be a little aware. His constant “deer-in-the-headlights” stare might be that awareness just beginning to form and it generates something remotely similar to fear.
Idk, I think that look is just a symptom of one of his diseases overpowering a different one and unbalancing the temporary homeostasis his plethora of health issues have fallen into.
My dude is basically Mr Burns with the three stooges syndrome.
There was Admiral Watkins, the anti-gay catholic admiral that Reagan put in charge of investigating the AIDS epidemic. IIRC he gave some extremely reasonable proposals that Reagan promptly ignored.
