Melanie Zanona on Kash Patel Pick: John Thune Knows He Can’t Go in Trump’s Crosshairs

RUSH EXCERPT:

ZANONA: “That was John Thune trying to say something nice about Kash Patel. In no world I think would John Thune pick Kash Patel as his pick to lead the FBI. It’s Donald Trump’s Trump. He is the majority leader, he started to repair his relationship with Donald Trump and John Thune knows he can’t get out in front of Trump and get in his crosshairs like that. So mason a that Kash Patel will probably be confirmed. There is an openness of Republicans to put him over the finish line despite the reservations. I know your mouth is open right now, but that is the reality on Capitol Hill. They don’t want to go down multiple routes of tanking some nominations and getting on Trump’s bad side.”
