Donald Trump has named Kashyap “Kash” Patel as the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Patel is the man credited with the elimination of ISIS and Al-Qa’ida leadership al-Baghdadi and Qasem al-Rimi, and the safe repatriation of numerous American hostages during the first Trump Administration.
“Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and ‘America First’ fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People. He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution. Kash did an incredible job during my First Term, where he served as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council. Kash has also tried over 60 jury trials,” Trump announced.
“This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border. Kash will work under our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI,” Trump said.
From Patel’s official bio:
Patel served as the former Chief of Staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller and is responsible for leading the Secretary’s mission at the Department, including his executive staff and providing counsel to the Secretary on all matters concerning the Department’s operations.
Previously, Mr. Patel served as the Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism (CT) at the National Security Council (NSC). In that capacity, Mr. Patel oversaw the execution of several of President Donald J. Trump’s top priorities, including eliminating ISIS and Al-Qa’ida leadership such as al-Baghdadi and Qasem al-Rimi, and the safe repatriation of numerous American hostages. Mr. Patel also served as Principal Deputy to the Acting Director of National Intelligence, where he oversaw the operations of all 17 intelligence community agencies and provided the President’s Daily Briefing.
Before joining the NSC, Mr. Patel served as the National Security Advisor and Senior Counsel for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), where he spearheaded the investigation into the Russian active measures campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election. Concurrently, he oversaw sensitive programs for the Intelligence Community and U.S. Special Operations Forces and worked to enact legislation to fully fund the multi-billion dollar budgets supporting intelligence and counterterrorism operations worldwide.
Mr. Patel joined the HPSCI following his tenure as a terrorism prosecutor at the Department of Justice (DOJ), where he led investigations spanning multiple theaters of conflict and oversaw the successful prosecution of criminals aligned with Al-Qa’ida, ISIS, and other terror groups. Mr. Patel also served as the DOJ Liaison Officer to Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), working with our nation’s most prestigious counterterrorism units to conduct collaborative global targeting operations against high value terrorism targets.
Mr. Patel began his career as a public defender, trying scores of complex cases ranging from murder, to narco-trafficking, to complex financial crimes in jury trials in state and federal courts.
A native of New York, Mr. Patel completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Richmond before returning to New York to earn his law degree, along with a Certificate in International Law from University College London Faculty of Laws in the United Kingdom. Kash is a life-long ice hockey player, coach, and fan.
Excellent, no deep state baggage!
“he oversaw sensitive programs for the Intelligence Community and U.S. Special Operations Forces and worked to enact legislation to fully fund the multi-billion dollar budgets supporting intelligence and counterterrorism operations worldwide”
What part of that isn’t “deep state baggage”?
Love that photo of Trump. He’s going after the pieces of sh*t at DOJ and FBI. There will be prosecutions, convictions, fines, and prison time. Watch the rats run as far as they can. Go catch them, Kash.
TRUTH!!!
Wait ’til you need them someday, Ted. I’ll bet your opinion will change then, as quick as a wink. Your vitriol lays bare your immaturity, and your inability to think for yourself.
Or to put it another way, you actually know nothing at all about the FBI, except for the propaganda pumped into your head by Fox, Newsmax, Alex Jones, Trump, and…..Kash Patel. So shallow. Yet you opine..
Dog
We all know what’s in your head is liberal hogwash.
Keep chasing cars it’s all you got.
News flash they all lie for the money and power.
News media should not be taken seriously just like your blind views.
Exactly what is your expertise involving the 3 letter agency?
No there won’t. I bet you thought Trump was going to throw Hillary in jail too. Just campaign blowharding.
Wait until 1/20/25. Gonna be fun when they reveal who is on the Epstien and Diddy lists. Gonna be hilarious when you and whidbey islands heros end up on it.
Don’t hold your breath. Actually, do hold you breath.
Obviously you have not watched the Rogan/Trump interview. If you had you would know this administration will be offering the American people transparency. A majority of what has been kept secret through classification is about to exposed to all.
The whiners are out in full force in this thread. Nary a peep out of them when lawfare used against us.
They can all suck on it. Whine more. It is delicious.
Hopefully the pay back is so complete lawfare will not be used again. It is so un-American.
Trump is going to knock off these b——- after 1/20/25. It’s coming. Believe me.
No. Trump will united us all.
I couldn’t be more proud and grateful to have a real President back in office!
You got Biden because of Trump 1.0
Donald J Trump is your President Greg
Technically.
No he is your President. Most of us had to admit it about your heros Joey and Barry.
Hockey player, nuff said.
Hit in the head too many times. Nuff said.
Dog
You would know
Excellent! 🇺🇸
YES
Bonus is he’s a hockey player.
He’s one brilliant attorney, first. I mean brilliant. Top of his class. Summa cum laude. Law Review.
And he speaks well. Trump couldn’t have picked better. And he knows where the rats are hiding. 2025 Project is job one, to go after the rats and put them in their cages. Kash is the man!
Hockey Player ….. Awesome!
It’s about time we have our first ever hockey player to lead the FBI.
Outstanding selection of Kash for the top spot at the FBI. No doubt he will do an excellent job and will bring the FBI to the very best standards for our country.
Kash Patel is the perfect choice. Does this position need to be confirmed by congress, or can the president just assign someone to it?
Confirm first. What’s Murkowski going to do? Not confirm a legal genius who passed the Bar Exam on his first attempt? Lol…..
You failed your drivers test the first time didn’t you? Just joking. Passing the bar is no easy feat.
Has to be confirmed by the Senate. We can guess already how Princess will vote
Chuck
That’s why if congress doesn’t confirm then defund the whole agency.
Confirmation required. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
As the article left out , Kash worked eight years for Obama crew prior to 2016 . He’s very well respected on both sides and saw so much corruption prior to 2016 , started to question and expose a lot . It’s not a conspiracy anymore .
Read Government Gangsters . Kash wrote the book . He’ll do a fine job at FBI in the next 12 years .
He will be confirmed while they are in recess.
No he won’t
So if he’s not then trump should defund the whole agency and let it die.
Would you like to bet on this? Many of his posts will and there will be nothing you and the RINO, I mean liberals will be able to do about it. It’s a brave new world forker.
Slap shot!!!!
He’s got a big job in front of him – cleaning up the corrupt and incompetent FBI will require at least a decade.
I hope he’ll be a mean machine for America! Long overdue.
Ramaswamy had the right answer. He was going to dismantle and eliminate the FBI altogether. He knows there is no redeeming such a corrupt organization. Its full of deep state traitors. He contended the US Marshal Service is sufficient for any federal law enforcement; he’s right. How many police departments does our federal government need. Every agency has their own armed police force now. Its been out of control for decades. Trump is making a mistake by not just eliminating all these law enforcement agencies except for one… and only one… the US Marshal Svc.
Right on brand for the Orange Felon. Another big FU that will eventually blow up in his face.
I bet a dozen or so FBI bigwigs are looking for work and or new homes in countries that don’t extradite to the USA.
Actually Clay Higgins has been instructing them to stay close to DC.
Suzanne we love you , this is pretty weak . Crappy article ! Jeez come on . Left out that he worked for the Obama administration for eight years . He’s a very middle of the road appointee that saw the corruption and crimes in Obama administration and started question everything in Govt . Oh and failed to mention he wrote book uncovering corruption called “ Govt gangsters “ . Please do a better job on journalism . I think this article was actually poached off the internet . Left out some pretty big details .
Kash will do a wonderful job at the FBI . I bet those Bastards Comey and Brennan are sleepless . Good riddance !
But it was fun beating the New York Times to the story. Thanks – sd
Awesome Job SD 👏
Yes, Suzanne is First almost every day.
Hopefully he can do his part to drain the cesspool.
It’s too deep, and too many blind channels.
