President Donald Trump's nominations for his administration have been doing very well so far. Everyone is being confirmed, even people the Democrats were most targeting, like Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Of the folks remaining to be confirmed, there's one big one left who has earned the Democrats' ire — that's Kash Patel for FBI Director. As we reported, Patel did a bang-up job in his confirmation hearing and is more than qualified for the job. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) threw a wild rant during the hearing, but Patel more than shut him down.

Democrats were so desperate they were trying to delay votes on him, but as we reported, he passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee vote and now the full vote is set for next week, and he's likely to be confirmed. Schiff is not handling it very well.
The Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats even posted part of his rant about Patel, not realizing the irony of what he was saying.
Sen. SCHIFF on Kash Patel committee vote: I’ve known Kash Patel since he was a staffer for Devin Nunes.

“He’s not someone you’d ever think of when you think of FIDELITY, BRAVERY, INTEGRITY. Not when he was a staffer, not when he was in the Trump Administration.” pic.twitter.com/ZNlyA4FF6H
“He’s not someone you’d ever think of when you think of fidelity, bravery, integrity. Not when he was a staffer, not when he was in the Trump Administration,” Schiff ranted.
Imagine Adam Schiff, of all people, having the gall to talk about "fidelity, bravery, integrity" — when he has none. Isn't he the same guy who the House censured for "misleading the American public and for conduct unbecoming of an elected Member of the House of Representatives" over the Russia hoax?
As some pointed out, Schiff is likely personally aggrieved because it was Patel's good work that helped bust up the Russia collusion nonsense.
Schiff is so animated about this because Patel, as a staffer for Devin Nunes, led the investigation that completely obliterated the Russiagate hoax that Schiff pushed as chair of the House Intel Committee. https://t.co/3OGATZ57AL

The Rapid Response account of the Trump team didn't hold back.

Then, too, isn't Schiff the same guy who got a pardon from Joe Biden as he was heading out the door? Perhaps he'd like to talk more about that?
What does it say when you have Democrats like this who still manage to fail upward into the Senate?
When Schiff is this upset, you know that he's worried and Patel is the right choice. He's going to have a very tough time when Patel is confirmed.
