Trading News for Booze
We read about the resignations of Gonzales and Swalwell,
And we’ve kept up with the cease-fires and damaged oil wells.
But about the Strait of Hormuz,
We were just fed up with the news,
So we went out on a binge with our old drinking buddy, Kash Patel.
Patel’s Plane Pain
Keystone Kash Patel’s jet-setting at our expense has got to end,
His frivolous flights are an abuse of power he can’t defend.
And it was a predictable disaster,
You’d expect from a second-rate podcaster,
Though we were surprised and amused to learn Kash has a girlfriend.
Federal Bureau of Incompetence
Charlie Kirk’s assassination has ignited the MAGA base,
Which responded with its usual measured calm and grace.
But really, there’s no need to be worried,
For ultimately, justice can’t be hurried,
And the Federal Bureau of Incompetence’s Bongino and Patel are on the case.
Kash Patel Paid Cash by Russian Filmmaker
$25,000
“Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be FBI director, was paid $25,000 last year by a film company owned by a Russian national who also holds U.S. citizenship and has produced programs promoting ‘deep state’ conspiracy theories and anti-Western views advanced by the Kremlin,” the Washington Post reports.
Christopher Wray Sticks It to Donald Trump
By resigning as FBI director prior to the end of his 10-year tenure, Christopher Wray has thwarted Donald Trump’s plans to install the odious Kash Patel as FBI chief.
New York Times: “By stepping down now, as the conservative writer Erick Erickson observed, Wray has created a ‘legal obstacle to Trump trying to bypass the Senate confirmation process.’”
“Here’s why. According to the Vacancies Reform Act, if a vacancy occurs in a Senate-confirmed position, the president can temporarily replace that appointee (such as the F.B.I. director) only with a person who has already received Senate confirmation or with a person who’s served in a senior capacity in the agency (at the GS-15 pay scale) for at least 90 days in the year before the resignation.”
“Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s chosen successor at the F.B.I., meets neither of these criteria. He’s not in a Senate-confirmed position, and he’s not been a senior federal employee in the Department of Justice in the last year. That means he can’t walk into the job on Day 1.”
Patel’s No Boswell
Word is that Kash Patel is a MAGA-mad, vindictive kook,
And getting him confirmed is going to be a real donnybrook.
But kids might be safer to have the guy
Running a vengeance campaign at the FBI
Than sitting down to write another children’s picture book.
