It’s Christmas at the Kremlin this week.
That’s according to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow who took to her show Friday night to call attention to new reports that emerged linking Kash Patel to a Russian filmmaker with ties to the Kremlin.
“I recognize there's a lot going on,” Maddow said during her show’s opening monologue. “Every day feels like, you know, trying to put 10 pounds of news into a five pound bags.”
But, Maddow said the latest development involving President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the country’s premier law enforcement agency raises “a different kind of red line.”
She called upon senators on Capitol Hill to reject Patel’s nomination during next week’s vote – and for viewers to pay attention.
“You know what? I just want to say this again,” Maddow reiterated Friday. “The nominee for FBI director taking $25,000 for a pro-Kremlin, anti-FBI smear campaign – a film made by a guy who has made propaganda for the Kremlin that’s kind of been his whole job in life – it seems like the kind of story that should maybe break through. And I know it's been kind of, you know, Kremlin Christmas this week.”
The MSNBC host went on to spotlight other news reports this week, including one in The New York Times that claimed an executive order from Trump may have resulted in the outing of multiple agents at the Central Intelligence Agency.
She also sounded the alarm on CIA officials being included in the so-called government buyout program being pushed by Trump and Elon Musk at the Department of Government Efficiency.
“Can you imagine how excited our foreign adversaries are at the idea of a wholesale purge of all the experienced people in the U.S.? Intelligence and counterintelligence? That said, I’m not sure how they narrow down what to be happiest about.”
She added: “It has been Kremlin Christmas for going on three weeks now thus far in the new Trump term.”
Maddow concluded by saying senators will have the chance to decide next week “if they want to put someone in charge of the FBI who literally took $25,000 to participate in a propaganda film attacking the FBI made by somebody who makes propaganda for the Kremlin. This one, I don't know, seems like kind of a different kind of red line.”
