Patel has been a staunch Trump ally and serves as another example of the president-elect elevating those who stood by him during the Ukraine probe and his later impeachment.
Patel has crafted a list of figures he calls “government gangsters” whom he says “must be held accountable and exposed in 2024.” The list includes Wray as well as Attorney General Merrick Garland.
He has separately said he is “going to come after the people in the media,” floating prosecutions of journalists.
“We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminal or civilly we’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice,” he said.
Patel has also said he would “shut down the FBI Hoover building on Day One and reopen it the next day as a museum of the deep state.”
One reason Harris lost is because, despite being part of the establishment, she ran on a platform of "Change!" You don't change things if they're working well, right? So that implies things weren't working well (even though she was one of the people in charge). People realized she was being ridiculous and voted for Trump.
ReplyDeleteNow suddenly "Change!" is bad! Things are fine and Trump is going to ruin everything!
