Patel is good for nothing except for being Trump's yapping dog! His trying to get retribution for Trump will be the least of the problems. He's inept, unqualified, and dishonest as all hell! But so was Hegseth wasn't he?
I was a soldier for 23 years! I took the oath to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic"! Donald Trump is that domestic enemy! Kash Patel is his tool. I hate THEM! I saluted the flag this morning. MAGAts vulgarly fly it on their pickups.
Your experience and dedication to our country's security is inspiring. Having followed your career to some extent, I value your opinions immensely. I, too, have experience in defense programs and security. This man has no business leading the FBI or any other agency. The fact that every Republican Senator will vote to confirm him is a traitorous and reckless act.
Olivia, thank you for opposing this nomination. We need more people like you questioning the fitness of other nominees that, if confirmed, will be tasked with protecting the health and security of our citizens.
Welcome to Substack. You need to stare his sorry ass down at some point today. Make him soil himself!💩😂 It looks like we're going to need to bash some trolls. No problem. I'm looking forward to more of your expertise. Be well, be safe, and beware of enemy three legged stools.😂😂
Those unhappy with past leaders have a point. i wish politicians were more honorable and responsible so a con man with a selfish history wouldn’t seem like a doable choice. That’s our dilemma - disappointing leaders seem the same as criminals to many. People actually think what Patel intends to do is no big deal. They think: Democrats weaponized government so it’s fine if Patel does the same. Two wrongs don’t make a right even if they’re right about the alleged Democrat weaponizing. The right solution is to stop it, not continue it. And con men con. That's a fact. We sure did forget a lot of common sense choices and we're headed for a lot of pain because of that.
Thanks Olivia. Speaking truth to power takes courage. Speaking truth to those who can't think critically is so frustrating!
Thank you for being so strong and speaking out to protect our nation, despite all the threats you must get. It shows all of us that the women of this country are just as brave as the men!
Watching the hearing, none of your points are being echoed. Doesn’t the committee get together and discuss the reasons for him being unqualified with those who know? I’m very disappointed in these hearings. This guy is a liar and con just like his presumed boss, imho. C$H. Come on!!!!
He is not fit for the position. I sincerely hope he is not confirmed.
That said… I’ve already said to you that I expect he will be.
It’s absolutely ridiculous and he will need to be held to account for his bonkers lunacy in how federal law enforcement is run. We thought Hoover was a nut… wait until Kash Patel.
The original sin was putting Drumph back in the WH. If Ka$h doesn’t make it, the Trump team will cast about for somebody as bad (may not be possible!)….. 😫
Thank you, Olivia for bravely speaking out. You represent the best of our American values.You have served our nation with honor and truth above all else, and you offer us a glimpse inside that few of us get to see.

Jim- I have blocked the troll. Thank you for your service to our country.
Thank you, Olivia!
WTF? You're certifiably crazy as hell!
Your troll has a paid sub to Laura Loomer. ‘Nuff said.
And thank you for your service and for taking your oath to the Constitution seriously.
Be gone, troll! 🤬🤬
Yup! She is a real MAGA troll.
I really hope that enough Republicans vote against him.

Wondering if he's an actual foreign agent, or maybe I'm missing the point?
He seems like a blatantly terrible choice.
Patel is a loose Cannon with a lit fuse. That's all I have to say about that bastard. The fear in the FBI is palpable.

Excellent piece. Thank you for continuing to speak out.
The bully is appointing bullies
