AdvertisementPatel is a hardcore sycophant and conspiracy theorist who is deeply enmeshed in the right wing grift-o-sphere. He would absolutely use the FBI as a hammer to squash anyone who Trump points him at. https://t.co/dxB7YaUs0o

If Kash Patel is confirmed as FBI director, the FBI will go from briefly investigating in 2018 the identity of Q regarding the possible federal crime of "false personation of a federal official" to in 2025 it being led by someone who's praised QAnon. https://t.co/KVCxA1sBDC https://t.co/oUXMW1z8qx

“Even among Trump loyalists, Patel is widely viewed as a controversial figure and relentless self-promoter whose value to the president-elect largely derives from a shared disdain for the so-called deep state.” https://t.co/Vu3cwRyxrd

I did a deep dive into Kash Patel back when I was at MSNBC, in case you’re interested. He’s a deeply strange and alarming and sycophantic figure (do you all know about the children’s book?)https://t.co/Awjrdip1aA

NEW: Donald Trump hasn’t said a word since the election about his intent to pardon Jan. 6 defendants. It’s prompted some anxiety among supporters and a raging debate about his intentions. https://t.co/nYLgJlVcn7 pic.twitter.com/7adhUmvtHI
