As the Trump Train prepared to steamroll through the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning, advancing Kash Patel's risky nomination to lead the FBI, a lone Republican stood in the breach to oppose the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to be DNI. Mitch McConnell would not be railroaded. The former Majority Leader in his statement said that Gabbard demonstrated a "history of alarming lapses in judgment."
That statement could easily apply to Patel. Foreign entanglements, support of J6 attackers, breaking security protocols, now potentially lying to Congress, it all adds up to "alarming." McConnell concluded about Gabbard, putting her in charge of ONI "is an unnecessary risk." As Chairman Grassley "tush pushes" Patel through the Committee this morning, questions will fester right up until his nomination going to the Senate floor.
