President-elect Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel to head the FBI has sparked outrage from the fake news media. I don’t think this comes as a surprise to Kash, who has faced everything before.
Fake news outlets typically don’t attack Congressional staffers by name, but they made an exception for Mr. Kash a few years ago. At the time, he was my lead investigator on the House Intelligence Committee investigating allegations that President Trump colluded with Russia to hack the 2016 presidential election.
We quickly began uncovering evidence that the entire Russian collusion story was a hoax, funded by the Democratic Party and the Hillary Clinton campaign, and weaponized by our own intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Shockingly, the abuses included the Justice Department and FBI providing false information to a secret court in order to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump campaign official Carter Page.

At the time, Kash was an outstanding detective and a brilliant investigator who used his experience as a Justice Department prosecutor to uncover what kind of misdeeds these corrupt officials were committing. To obtain the evidence, we had to overcome their constant interference, over-classification of documents, and countless other tricks and subterfuges they employed to bury the truth.
Kash Patel is the fumigator the FBI needs
Fake news reporters and “resistance” bureaucrats understood that the evidence we uncovered would undermine their false narrative, and anonymous sources revealed that he had committed every atrocity known to humanity. and launched an all-out jihad against Kash.
The attack on Kash went beyond these information warfare operations — Justice Department officials who clearly weren’t happy about having their dirty laundry aired in our face-to-face meetings. threatened to subpoena Kash’s communications. We only found out years later that they had. already seized Mr. Kash’s emails, along with those of other congressional staffers investigating collusion hoaxes, including those of Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
In short, the Justice Department secretly spied on its own constitutionally mandated regulators to find out what we knew and how we knew it.
You can imagine how frightening it would be for an employee to be directly threatened by a top-level official at the Ministry of Justice. But you couldn’t bully Kash. He was fearless, methodical, and intelligent, and ultimately played a crucial role in debunking one of the most serious and damaging hoaxes in American history.
Kash Patel’s nomination arouses enthusiasm and anxiety. The future of the FBI seems uncertain.
The Russian collusion hoax, the politicized January 6 investigation, various surveillance abuses, the exploitation of confidential human informants for political purposes, and the pressure on Big Tech to censor the Hunter Biden laptop incident. , investigations of parent protesters at school board meetings, and countless other manipulations, the FBI and Department of Justice are clearly calling for sweeping and fundamental reforms. I need it.
It’s not enough to just tinker with the edges. The entire culture of these agencies needs to be revamped, and their staff needs to be decentralized to refocus on fighting criminals and terrorists rather than politics.
To successfully carry out its mission, the FBI needs a director who understands problems and how to solve them. Importantly, this person must have the courage to go through with it, despite the outcry from the media and intergalactic left-wing interests, and despite fierce opposition from the upper echelons of the FBI staff.
Who is Kash Patel? Trump’s nominee for FBI director has a long history of vowing to take down the “deep state.”
Mr. Kash has an extensive career with notable government service as a public defender, terrorism prosecutor, senior official in the National Intelligence Agency and the National Security Council, and Chief of Staff of the Department of Defense. But his record on the House Intelligence Committee alone shows that Mr. Kash has the courage and determination to reform the FBI.
It’s funny to watch discredited former officials jump on cable news shows to denounce Kash’s nomination as if it spells the end of the republic. Ultimately, those who abused, politicized, and discredited the FBI, and those who sought to cover up those abuses, have much to lose if Kash is identified.
These people investigate and arrest ordinary Americans who disagree with their political views, leak false information to political opponents, and actively undermine the president they are supposed to serve. Imagine what would happen if you could no longer rely on the FBI.

Kash understands surveillance abuses and intimidation tactics because he has experienced them himself. And he never backed down.
If you want an FBI director who will do a good job, you’re better off choosing someone else. If we want a commissioner who will follow the Constitution and transform the department into a fair and reliable law enforcement agency that aggressively pursues criminals rather than political targets, Kash is definitely the right person for the job.
