Prepare to don your shocked face. With the deep state scrambling to find a way to stop Kash Patel from becoming Director of the FBI the Trump nominee has been “hacked.”

According to CNN, Patel was targeted by an “Iranian hack” that just so happened to obtain some of his personal communications. The FBI briefed him on the supposed intrusion in a conversation that I’d have loved to have been present for.

Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to run the FBI, was recently informed by the bureau that he had been targeted as part of an Iranian hack, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Hackers are believed to have accessed at least some of Patel’s communications, according to one of the sources.

Kind of wild how the Iranians keep getting away with going after Donald Trump and those around him. It’s almost as if the federal government, which has a poisonous, appeasing relationship with the Islamist nation, isn’t trying very hard to stop them. But hey, at least they let Patel know after the fact, right?

It almost comes across like a threat, and if you’re sensing my skepticism, that’s because I’ve got some. Having seen the lengths to which the federal bureaucracy will go to protect itself, it sure is convenient that Patel was hacked just in time to provide fodder for those trying to scuttle his nomination. It’s weird, right?

Hey, I’m just asking questions, guys.

Step 1: Announce Kash Patel has been hacked by Iran.

Step 2: The FBI, who did the actually hacking, leaks the damaging stuff to the media.

Step 3: The media runs with the smears and Republicans in the Senate use that as an excuse to reject Kash. https://t.co/3F6m4Vklq0

Is that what’s happening here? I can’t say for sure, but I wouldn’t put past the corrupt hangers-on at the FBI to “protect the shield” in such a way. They certainly don’t want Patel coming in and providing real reform and accountability. They’ve still got more pro-lifers to raid at gunpoint and Catholics to treat as domestic terrorists. For now, though, we’ll call the above theory a hypothesis.

We’ll see if the communications reportedly taken are leaked. I would assume they will be, and if they are, Republican senators should pretend they don’t exist and confirm anyway no matter what they contain. There is zero reason to trust anything at this point that would benefit the FBI.

Out of all the nominees that one might call “controversial,” Patel getting through is the most important. The only way to stop the weaponization of federal law enforcement is to bring sweeping changes to the FBI, and that’s only because there’s no realistic way to shut it down. Patel is the right man for that job, and these last-minute games, whatever they amount to, should not stop his nomination.
