The D.C. swamp is bracing for impact. President-elect Donald Trump is not just hitting the ground running; he’s on a mission with jet-powered rollerblades. In true Trumpian style, his cabinet-filling spree is moving faster than a toddler chasing a rogue balloon.
With weeks still to go before the big day in January, Trump’s transition is anything but conventional. RINOs are reeling as Trump bypasses the usual suspects to pick his favorites. Many of them are heading for Washington to make waves, break norms, and disrupt business as usual.
And this latest pick from Trump will have the DOJ, the belly of the beast, reeling!
President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly set to nominate Kash Patel to a top role in the FBI or the Department of Justice. This comes as Trump has quickly filled his cabinet picks for his incoming administration…
“Patel oversaw the execution of several of President Donald J. Trump’s top priorities, including eliminating ISIS and Al-Qa’ida leadership such as al-Baghdadi and Qasem al-Rimi, and the safe repatriation of numerous American hostages,” per his profile for the Department of Defense.

Take Kash Patel. The man is making headlines as Trump’s potential pick for a high-stakes role in either the FBI or the Department of Justice. Patel’s name sparks either admiration or dread, depending on which side of the political fence you’re sitting.
Known for his role in tackling some of Trump’s biggest national security objectives, Patel is no stranger to controversy—or to giving the establishment a collective heartburn. Trump, clearly enjoying the drama, seems poised to keep the excitement rolling.
Axios reports that Trump is eyeing Patel for a significant position—possibly deputy FBI director or a senior role at the DOJ. Patel isn’t just a name in the Trump playbook; he’s a statement.
As a key figure in Trump’s first administration, he’s credited with masterminding counterterrorism successes and aiding in hostage recovery efforts. A Department of Defense profile boasts his involvement in taking down notorious figures like ISIS leader al-Baghdadi. That’s the kind of résumé that makes one part hero, one part lightning rod.
Let’s not forget Patel’s legal chops. He started as a public defender, diving into cases ranging from murder to narco-trafficking. It’s like he wanted to rack up as much courtroom chaos as possible before storming into the national spotlight.
Now, with Trump’s apparent backing, Patel is poised to bring his take-no-prisoners approach to the DOJ or FBI—places not exactly known for their love of reformers.
Of course, Patel isn’t the only contender. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has reportedly been floated as a possible FBI director for Trump’s second term. Meanwhile, former Rep. Mike Rogers found himself in and out of the rumor mill faster than you can say “fake news.”
Dan Scavino, Trump’s ever-loyal campaign advisor, took to X (formerly Twitter) to squash the Rogers chatter, quoting Trump himself: “It’s not happening.” End of story.
This rapid-fire decision-making has become a hallmark of Trump’s second coming.
His team, led by figures like Karoline Leavitt, has been quick to tout the President-elect’s “brilliant decisions” and “lightning pace.” Whether you call it decisive leadership or headline-chasing chaos, Trump’s approach to assembling his inner circle is nothing short of captivating.
Putting Patel in a top law enforcement role would be a bold move. It would send a clear signal: Trump is doubling down on his promise to overhaul the justice system. Supporters see Patel as the man to clean house, while critics view his potential appointment as a step toward chaos.
Either way, Patel embodies the Trump ethos—an outsider ready to shake things up, critics be damned.
And let’s face it, Trump thrives on this kind of theater. He’s not interested in a smooth transition; he’s scripting a reality show for the ages.
Patel’s record of challenging norms fits right into that narrative. Whether you love him or loathe him, you can’t accuse Trump of being boring.
