Kash Patel, another of Trump’s more controversial nominees, has been confirmed as director of the FBI.
From Fox News. The Senate on Thursday voted 51-49 to confirm Kash Patel as FBI director.
Help support IFA monthly by becoming an MMP.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., voted “yes” on the conservative firebrand’s confirmation, even while moderates Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, voted “no.”
A vote to invoke cloture and begin two hours of debate on the nominee passed 51 to 47 earlier Thursday.
Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted earlier this month, 12 to 10, to advance Patel to the full floor for a vote.
Still, Patel faced a rockier path to confirmation, even in the Republican-majority chamber, after Democrats on the panel used their political weight to delay Patel’s confirmation vote earlier this month. …
Patel, a vociferous opponent of the investigations into President Donald Trump and one who served at the forefront of Trump’s 2020 election fraud claims, vowed during his confirmation hearing last month that he would not engage in political retribution against agents who worked on the classified documents case against Trump and other politically sensitive matters. …
“There will be no politicization at the FBI,” Patel told lawmakers during his confirmation hearing. “There will be no retributive action.”
But making good on that promise could prove to be complicated.
Trump told reporters this month that he intends to fire “some” of the FBI personnel involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, characterizing the agents’ actions as “corrupt,” even as he stopped short of providing any additional details as to how he reached that conclusion. …
And in another message meant to assuage senators, Patel said he didn’t find it feasible to require a warrant for intelligence agencies to surveil U.S. citizens suspected to be involved in national security matters, referring to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). …
“Get a warrant” had become a rallying cry of right-wing conservatives worried about the privacy of U.S. citizens, and almost derailed the reauthorization of the surveillance program entirely. Patel said the program has been misused, but he does not support making investigators go to court and plea their case before being able to wiretap any U.S. citizen.
Patel held a number of national security roles during Trump’s first administration — chief of staff to acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller, senior advisor to the acting director of national intelligence and National Security Council official. …
In public comments, Patel has suggested he would refocus the FBI on law enforcement and away from involvement in any prosecutorial decisions. …

Kash Patel has been nothing but upstanding and gracious throughout his career, and focused on the truth. He has displayed great courage of conviction during the most trying of times at great risk to his livelihood and reputation.
Did you not watch the hearings? Why not see this man’s personal character on display for yourselves instead of basing it on prejudice & hearsay? Why not learn more about his background and family history?
I pray the Pharisee/Sadducee self-righteous spirit be removed in our intercessory midst! I also pray against any propensity towards racial bias. Christ, have mercy.
LORD, thank You for Your faithfulness in seeing all of the President’s appointments through. Please continue to bless and secure the Trump Administration in every way. Draw each member nearer to You, to Your Word, and to wise spiritual counsel — so that as the nation be restored through their public labors, their individual souls be saved in private through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
We praise You for those who already acknowledge and profess Your name — and for those that don’t: we pray they will in due season. But we trust Your grace to be at work in and through all regardless.
May the White House and all meeting chambers be filled with the Holy Spirit; the echo of prayers, and the reading and citing of Your Scriptures for guidance and wisdom.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Father, I pray for Kash Patel. May he be open to your voice and not be out just to punish people. May he place vindictiveness aside and work to bring justice. I pray for his protection and guidance. Strengthen him as he fulfills his obligations. Give him eyes to see and ears to hear what goes on around him so he make act justly. Give him favor to carry out his position.
Lord of compassion, we thank you that in Kash Patel we already witness your compassion and righteousness on display instead of the vindictive retribution that many expected. Please continue to give him wisdom and understanding to know and act on your purposes for this agency and to lead with integrity and insight that inspires all FBI agents. In your precious name, Lord Jesus.
