was that a john kreese joke??
per Grok re: Kash Patel’s swearing in ceremony:
Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI Director by the U.S. Senate on February 20, 2025, in a 51-49 vote, as reported by multiple sources including The Washington Post, CNN, and NBC News.However, the exact date of his swearing-in ceremony has not been explicitly detailed in available public records as of today, February 20, 2025, at 2:18 PM PST.
Typically, after Senate confirmation, a nominee is sworn in shortly thereafter—often within days—depending on logistical arrangements and the administration’s schedule. For context, past FBI Directors like Christopher Wray were sworn in on August 2, 2017, the same day as his Senate confirmation (92-5 vote), though this can vary. Patel’s predecessor, Wray, announced his resignation effective January 20, 2025 (Trump’s inauguration day), per posts on X and news reports, meaning the position is vacant as of now, which could hasten Patel’s swearing-in.
Given today’s confirmation and the urgency of filling the role amid ongoing FBI turmoil (e.g., recent leadership purges),it’s reasonable to infer Patel could be sworn in as early as February 21 or 22, 2025, barring delays for ceremonial or administrative reasons.Trump’s focus on loyalists and immediate agenda execution suggests a swift transition, but no official announcement has pinned down the precise moment beyond today’s vote. Posts on X, like one from @Mayflower_21 on February 19, 2025, assumed confirmation and swearing-in on February 20, though this conflates the two events.
Without a specific time announced, the best estimate is late February 20 or February 21, 2025, pending an official ceremony.I can’t confirm the hour due to the lack of a schedule release—check news updates post-confirmation for precision.
