Cute. He will be a worm in the way and will get squashed.

The GOP of course will obstruct the transition again and again.

They only have criminals and corrupt sycophants in top positions anyway, so it’s unsurprising that one would be in charge of their side of the transition in damn near any department or agency.

Well yeah, but Patel was a loyal lackey, they are forcing him to stay to the last day, all the rest of the crooks will have time to flee the country while this guy gets to hold the bag.

One can only hope that all the rest don’t get too far away though!

Should the Biden officials passively or actively indicate to him that he’s a child of no consequence?

I’m withholding judgment until Sidney Powell weighs in.

On the positive side, an idiot in such a high profile role should be clearly be seen to violate the law over and over.

So, prosecution should be a cinch.

Is the transition process official and include aspects in which Trump admin reps are legally on the record? If lies or misinformation are provided is there legal accountability?

Nothing good happens where Kash Patel walks. He’s in there either to fuck things up or have access to top level classified info up to the last minute. Or both.

It’s beginning to look as though the transition may not really be all that useful in terms of transfers of (dis)information. At least they’ll get some of the resources they need.

OT: I avoid looking at pictures of Trump, but it’s been hard to kiss that his hair color keeps changing! Since Election Day, it’s been icy white, golden retriever reddish blond (apologies to golden retrievers), golden ubermensch, and a sort of ginger. Some of it is attributable to lighting, but I think I may have discovered what he’s doing when he isn’t golfing or tweeting. It’s actually bizarre.

Is Patel’s resume up-to-date? Latest listing: sabataged the Biden transition. Don’t worry, he’ll go on a sinecure paid for by the Koch brothers.

Patel was “put in charge” of the Pentagon’s transition team to prepare for the Biden administration.

I can’t imagine what those conversations are like. The Biden teams will know who is a sycophant, and who actually knows what they are talking about. My question concerns how the sycophants might seek to obstruct or otherwise conceal (or destroy) information.

What a gnat.
