 FBI checks, ethics paperwork threaten to slow down Trump confirmations
by Alexander Bolton - 01/03/25 6:00 AM ET

Republican sources on Capitol Hill warn that President-elect Trump’s nominees may be delayed because of paperwork holdups and the slow start of FBI background checks, creating obstacles for the speedy confirmation of Trump’s national security team.

Senate Republican leaders called on colleagues to swiftly confirm Trump’s national security team in the wake of the suspected terror attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, but those pleas for fast action are running up against procedural thickets in the Senate, where even routine business can take days or weeks to get done.

As of Thursday evening, only Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee to head the Defense Department, had the date of his confirmation hearing announced — Jan. 14.

Other nominees, including two of Trump’s most controversial picks — Tulsi Gabbard, who is nominated to serve as director of national intelligence, and Kash Patel, who is nominated to serve as FBI director — are in limbo at the moment.

How long did it take to clear all the low-caliber Biden stooges? It should take now longer for Republicans.

Find persons already approved and with security clearances and use them as 'straw' National Security Advisors until the real ones are cleared or the Trump eliminates the FBI.

Slow-rolling Trumps National Security team investigations is no way to ingratiate yourselves with your new incoming boss.  Afterall, he is the head of the Executive Branch of Government, of which the FBI is part.

I think, perhaps paradoxically, the ones the Deep State is most upset about, Gabbard and Patel, already have security clearances.

Vulcan questions:
"How long did it take to clear all the low-caliber Biden stooges?"

I'm thinking that a number of them were never "cleared".
But nobody raised a finger in spite of that.
