Senate Voted to Confirm Kash Patel for FBI Director 51-49

Despite 2 GOP defections, Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI Director with a vote of 51-49. He was fully qualified for the post, despite the attacks from Dems.

Senators voted 51 to 49 to confirm Patel, who gained prominence for exposing alleged FBI and Justice Department malfeasance during the Crossfire Hurricane probe into the Trump campaign. Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) crossed the aisle to join Democrats in voting against Patel’s nomination…

“There will be no politicization at the FBI. There will be no retributive actions taken by any FBI should I be confirmed as the FBI director,” Patel said during a Jan. 30 Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing.

During the hearing, Patel condemned the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and denied having an “enemies list”—an allegation stemming from a list of names at the end of Patel’s book, “Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy.” The Epoch Times

 

“Kash Patel is a patriot and a fighter. I congratulate him on his confirmation as director of the FBI. It was a scandal his confirmation took this long. Kash will bring transparency and accountability back to an agency that became irredeemably corrupt and the tip of the spear in unfettered lawfare against any American seen as a threat to the ruling class.” Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch on X.

So many attacks, so little time. Kash Patel endured ridiculous accusations while waiting to be confirmed (oh, wait. So did Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and assorted others).  Between the haters of Trump and Musk, the cabinet members attacked are growing a great list of untrustworthy people. At any rate, Congrats, Kash Patel, for finally getting confirmed.
