DAVID MARCUS: Kash Patel is the fumigator the FBI needs

President-elect Donald Trump chose Saturday night to announce that his long-time aide Kash Patel is his choice to be the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and for anyone interested in a good fumigation of the bureau, this is a cause for real optimism.

Before we get to the laundry list of FBI abuses that Patel would hopefully put an end to, let us first establish that this is a well-credentialed man who served at high levels in the first Trump administration. This is not an influencer.

But Patel is somebody with a fresh set of eyes who has a chance to identify and cure the abuses of an FBI that has become too often an enemy, not a friend of liberty and freedom.

For example, Patel would be taking over an FBI that has targeted Catholics. The FBI has decided that traditional Catholics need to be watched carefully because we might be adjacent to extremism.

As a Catholic, I will say that an FBI that does not spy on my churches as the FBI has done over the past several years would be a great improvement. Though, in fairness, the guy in the black shoes and white socks at Mass isn’t fooling anyone. I wish that was just a joke.

If Mr. Patel is to be effective, he has to be in his new position and running on day one.

Mr. Trump should fire Wray on January 20th, and put Mr. Patel in as "acting director", subject to Senate confirmation. Make the weasel-Publicans in the Senate take a stand, or take a hike.

That will still give Mr. Patel 210 days in which to work. And in the meantime, if there's a Congressional recess during that 210 days, RE-appoint Mr. Patel with a "recess appointment", and let the leftists media really scream...
