A personalized bottle of Woodford Reserve bourbon engraved with the words “Kash Patel FBI Director,” as well as a rendering of an FBI shield, obtained by The Atlantic

One of J. Edgar Hoover’s greatest reforms at the FBI was his embrace of fingerprinting. During the 1930s, visitors to the FBI offices in Washington, D.C., received souvenir fingerprint cards featuring his name. The men who succeeded him as FBI director were more discreet and judicious, mindful of the cult of personality that had developed around Hoover. They generally avoided giving out branded swag.

But then came Kash Patel.

President Trump’s FBI director has a great deal of affection for swag. Merchandise for sale on a website he co-founded—still operating, nearly 15 months into his term—includes beanies ($35), T-shirts ($35), orange camo hoodies ($65), trucker caps ($25), “government gangsters” playing cards (on sale for $10), and a fight with kash Punisher scarf ($25).

One thing not for sale is liquor, because liquor is something Patel gives away for free.

In a stunning turn of events, the leaders of GOP Rep. Rob Bresnahan's “Democrats for Rob Coalition” are actually just... Longtime Republican supporters.

A frontline GOP congressman, Rep. Rob Bresnahan, R-Pa., launched the “Democrats for Rob Coalition” last month, billed as an invitation to Democrats living in Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District to vote for Republicans. The catch is that the main schtick of these “Democrats” seems to be supporting Republicans — and they have been for years.
