Trump nominates Kash Patel to head FBI

Is this not a big win against the establishment and institutions like the FBI?
It seems it is, but maybe I'm wrong. Where are the celebrations?
 
Apparently he wants the Epstein client list and Diddy party list to be released. What's everybody's excuse going to be when he ends up not doing either of those things?
