Still Seated

Kash Patel is the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a former national security official who held roles at the Department of Defense, National Security Council, and House Intelligence Committee. He became nationally prominent as one of Donald Trump’s most aggressive loyalists during the Russia-investigation era and later moved into a string of senior Trump-world roles. Then the résumé stops reading like a normal career path and starts reading like a stress test for institutional independence, because Patel’s entire public brand is built on loyalty, grievance, and the promise of payback. On Yeeted or Seated, putting him atop the FBI looks less like calming the bureau down than handing the flamethrower to a guy who already smells like gasoline.
