Kash Patel Gets DOUBLE Good News In One Day: Confirmation Guaranteed?

It’s been an incredible day and an incredible week.

Just yesterday, we got Tulsi Gabbard confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence.  She’s going to be amazing.

Today, against all odds, we got RFK Jr. confirmed as the new head of the Dept. of Health and Human Services.

And the last of the “Big 3” — Kash Patel — just got good news.  DOUBLE good news, actually.

First up, he cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee which advanced his nomination to a full Senate vote.

Fox News had more on the story:

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to advance Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director to the Senate floor after a fiery confirmation hearing last month and fierce opposition from Democrats.

Committee members voted 12-to-10 Thursday to advance Patel to the full floor vote, which could come before the chamber as early as next week.

The vote comes after Democrats had successfully delayed Patel’s committee vote by seven days last week, in an effort to force the Trump nominee to testify a second time.

Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa., said attempts by Judiciary ranking member Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and others to force Patel to testify again were “baseless” as he already sat before the committee for more than five hours and disclosed “thousands of pages” of records to the panel, as well as nearly 150 pages of responses to lawmakers’ written questions.

“Now we all know that Mr. Patel, and other nominees, undergo rigorous vetting” before their Senate confirmation hearings, Grassley said Thursday before the committee vote.

The Senate Judiciary Committee “has examined every detail of [Patel’s] life,” Grassley said Thursday, “and he has been subjected to relentless attacks on his character during this whole period of time.”

The vote comes after Durbin alleged earlier this week on the Senate floor that Patel had been behind mass firings at the FBI, citing what he described as “highly credible” whistleblower reports indicating Patel had been “personally directing the ongoing purge of FBI employees prior to his Senate confirmation for the role.”

An aide to Patel denied Durbin’s claim, telling Fox News Digital the nominee flew home to Las Vegas after his confirmation hearing and has “been sitting there waiting for the process to play out.”

Patel, a vociferous opponent to the investigations into President Donald Trump and who was at the forefront of his 2020 election fraud claims, vowed during his confirmation hearing that he would not engage in political retribution.

However, the conservative firebrand was likely chosen for his desire to upend the agency.

In his 2023 book, “Government Gangsters,” he described the FBI as “a tool of surveillance and suppression of American citizens” and “one of the most cunning and powerful arms of the Deep State.”

And with that, the SECOND good news is that his odds on Polymarket just skyrocketed….

Literally, he is sitting right now at 100% odds of being confirmed:

I don’t know a lot about gambling, but I guess if his odds of getting confirmed are 100%, and you bet “No” and he didn’t get in, then I guess you win infinity dollars?

The Fed just turns on the money printer and lets it run for you for all of eternity?

Is that how this works?

I’m only half kidding.

Why do I care about the betting markets at all?

One, because they’ve been incredibly accurate on almost every major thing over the past year, including President Trump’s victory.

And two, because big money just isn’t wrong very often.

So it’s a good indicator.

Here’s another one….

This shows why the first one is sitting at 100%, because the market is currently expecting Kash Patel to get confirmed not with a 50/50 tie that would be broken by JD Vance, or even with a 51-49….current markets are expecting Kash to sail through with 52-48:

It’s not over ’till it’s over, but this is FANTASTIC news!

Let’s get it done!

Push hard until the end.

To underscore just how opaque and frustrating this current system is, even after passing the Committee vote today, it’s still not clear and not confirmed when the full Senate vote will be.

It would be as late as next Tuesday!

As soon as the date is confirmed, we’ll let you know.
