Trump Ally Issues New Warning to Senators After Kash Patel Nomination [View all]

Source: Newsweek

Conservative lawyer Mike Davis is warning Senate Republicans that they will feel his "political wrath" if they dare to block the confirmation of Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for FBI director.

Patel, a staunch Trump loyalist who served in multiple roles during the president-elect's first administration, was controversially nominated over the weekend to replace current Trump-appointed FBI Director Christopher Wray. While Republicans will have a 53-to-47 seat Senate majority in January, Patel's confirmation is anything but certain.

Criticism of Patel ranges from a lack of qualifications to past comments that suggest he would use federal law enforcement to target Trump's enemies, including supposed "deep state" and media "conspirators" involved in a plot to "rig" the 2020 election, which was legitimately won by President Joe Biden.

In a recent interview with MAGA media figure Benny Johnson, Davis argued that Patel is "clearly qualified" to serve as FBI director and demanded that GOP senators back his selection. Davis then threatened to use the Article III Project, his right-wing judicial advocacy group, to punish any senators who defy the president-elect.

Words you will not see during T***p 2.0: "discuss" "negotiate" "persuade" "build consensus" "admit error"

You will see: "Trump demanded..." "Trump threatened..." "Trump says the mainstream media an enemy of state." "Trump says ______________________________ will lose federal funding if they do not meet his demands." "Trump warns anyone who doesn't do what he says will be punished."

We can also expect him to declassify the documents he stole from the White House, order them returned, and anyone involved with the raid be arrested and prosecuted.
