If there’s a leak, he’s screwed.

I don’t think he has much else going for him. He basically worships Trump and Trump knows that. He’s not as slick as Bondi, and she has the blonde thing going for her. She’s probably golden and I don’t think she has the hang ups Barr did, like when he refused to state the election was “stollen”.

Patel is a dufus, he’ll be tossed to the side soon enough. I also don’t think he’s as good of a liar as several others in the administration (like Rubio who is also a skilled politician), at least as far as lying consistently and being disciplined about it. I keep wondering who’s worse. Patel or day drunk Hegseth in that regard.
