He knows how the DOJ and how the FBI corrupted the whole damn place. That\u2019s the advantage he has, and that\u2019s why they don\u2019t want him in there,\u201d Nunes said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I will just go furthermore, I think this brings an important component that I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve in an FBI director before,\u201d he added. \u201cKash served at the beginning of his career on the other side. He served as a public defender, defending criminals against the FBI, against, you know, the law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cSo he transferred from a public defender, then into the DOJ as a prosecutor. And at a time [when] we need people that understand both sides of the issues if we\u2019re going to restore the FBI and the Department of Justice, where we truly get a situation in this country, again, where justice should be blind, that\u2019s how it was set up by the founders of this country,\u201d the former California lawmaker continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if you don\u2019t have a solid, reliable justice system, your whole damn country falls apart,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd look, and if it wasn\u2019t for President Trump winning, the country just about fell apart. So what started with the Russia hoax back in the day, campaign gimmick to try to falsely accuse Trump of dealing with Russia and Republicans dealing with Russia ended up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nunes added: \u201cYou talk about it all the time, but we need to talk about how they targeted Supreme Court justices, targeted Catholics, targeted President Trump, went through Mar-a-Lago, did multiple going \u2014 targeting Republicans across the board, and still never leaving the Russia hoax alone, including getting involved in the last election in 2020 with the whole hoax on the 51 spies who lie that Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop was just Russian disinformation. That\u2019s what has to be cleaned up permanently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has dropped the name of another Trump administration pick to become Speaker of the House \u2014 incoming government efficiency co-chair Elon Musk.<\/p>\n<p>Paul took to Musk\u2019s platform, X, on Thursday morning to float the idea of the tech billionaire assuming the role of House speaker, pointing out that the position does not require the speaker to be a sitting member of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress\u2026 Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk\u2026 think about it\u2026 nothing\u2019s impossible. (not to mention the joy at seeing the collective establishment, aka \u2018uniparty,\u2019 lose their ever-lovin\u2019 minds),\u201d wrote Paul.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-tags\"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"entry-footer\">\n<div class=\"share-icons\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-box clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and GOP lawmaker from California Devin Nunes hailed President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s pick of national security expert Kash Patel to head&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
