Rep. Dan Goldman: "I find it pretty ironic and hypocritical that so many Republicans have seemed to find the rule of law when it comes to Joe Biden's pardoning of Hunter, and are happily ignorant of the rule of law when it comes to Donald Trump and everything he has done."

Kash Patel will not be confirmed by the United States Senate
Nor can Trump fire Wray on day one and just slap Kash directly into the FBI as acting. The Vacancies Reform Act does not allow it www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...
So why is Trump nominating him?
Don’t assume there’s a strategy!
