The slow walk to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director is coming to an end this week, as Senator Markwayne Mullin provides a positive update on the confirmation process.
WATCH:
An update on Senate procedure—
— Markwayne Mullin (@SenMullin) February 18, 2025
~5:30pm ET, the Senate will vote on a motion to proceed to executive session for @Kash_Patel. Then we'll file cloture to put him on the clock. Procedure aside — he’s set to be confirmed by Thursday.

Good.
Some people wonder why it took this long:
Last week it was Thursday then the storm happened and we thought it would happen Friday but then the members wanted the 4 day Valentine and Munich conference 4 day break, so they got that. And now until Thursday? This is not efficient.

Here's hoping it happens on Thursday.
Of course, the final piece in the puzzle to start arresting the corrupt is a month after Trump takes office. I imagine the bleach bit and shredders have been running 24/7.

It would not surprise us at all.
Boy howdy the @SenateGOP are dragging their feet on Kash. How disappointing.

People are eager to see this done.
Thank you again for timely updates!! Thursday will be an awesome start to very good things.

Yes, it will be.
Yes, this should have been done already. However, you are the only one who continues to keep us informed about schedules and the procedures. Thank you!

We appreciate the updates.
Appreciate the updates Senator, but something needs to change with these procedures. We need an FBI Director - KASH, like yesterday.

The FBI needs a spring cleaning, so we need Patel to be confirmed ASAP.
Hey - you there in DC! Are you camping out in your offices tomorrow night so that you can be present for the vote or are you setting this up to be punted down the road until next week due to the impending snowfall? https://t.co/JrVnKGBblV

The good news is the forecast for D.C. doesn't look terrible right now.
These losers took a 4 day weekend and didn't schedule Kash until 5:30 pm today.

Who waits until the end of the day if they believe the vote is going to go their way?
If Republicans are successful, the 30 hour clock doesn't even start until after the 5:30pm vote.
Why didn't… https://t.co/PRoivwfUas
These are good questions. We'll see how it plays out.
Interesting.

So, why do y'all think they are dragging this out so long? https://t.co/S3ArwNsBeF
Hopefully, the end is in sight.
