Who is Kash Patel? Trump loyalist looks to build influence and power

Kash Patel, a national security aide and player in Donald Trump’s political orbit, is widely expected to take on an influential role in the federal government should the former president win a second term.

A swaggering campaign surrogate who mythologizes the former president while promoting his own brand, Patel has a pedigree that sets him apart from many other Trump advisers. He frequently cites that experience — as a defense attorney, federal prosecutor, top House staffer and national security official — when he pledges to jettison those disloyal to Trump and attacks the very intelligence community he could one day oversee.

Here are some key things to know about Patel:

What was his path to such influence?

After graduating from law school at Pace University, Patel failed to get a job at the prestigious law firms he’d hoped to join. Instead, he became a public defender and spent nearly nine years in local and federal courts in Miami before joining the Justice Department.

A little more than three years later, Patel was hired as a staffer for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence led by Rep. Devin Nunes, a fierce Trump ally.

“A swaggering campaign surrogate”? Really?

All the right reasons to ignore him.

I play “guess the planted weasel word” in every sentence. “Failed, swaggering, mythologizes, surrogate...” Then I can see the true message these pieces of manure mean to impart.

He’ll likely be in Trump’s administration so they are trying to trash him early.

Not Harvard or Yale? Rejected by the prestigious law firms? Years as a public defender? A COMPLETE FAILURE! NOT ELITE LIKE US!

You can hear their contempt just dripping from the page!

Hey, AP, I’d like to read about Engeron, Merchan and Colangelo; hope there’s enough misinformation in this piece for him to sue you too.

Kash knows where the bodies are buried. He knows the mechanism on how the corruption moves through the administrative state. He can name names as well; who the scumbags are in the Deep State. Including their history - I would feel comfortable with him in a high DOJ position being the bulldog that Trump is not in getting rid of the scum.

Where do I start?

He is super quick witted and articulate
He has all the receipts re the corrupt intel agencies (read his book Government Gangsters)
He has had Trump’s back throughout the fake impeachments, the stolen elections, the J6 frame up.

He’s a frequent guest on Steve Bannon’s War Room - I always learn a lot.

President Trump needs a dozen more soldiers like him and MAGA will be unstoppable.

Stop it!

Kash is a very smart trial lawyer and a great spokesman for PDJT. He’s tried 60+ cases to verdict. Gave tons of interviews during the PDJT scam trial and consistently was even keeled, logical and devastating in his analysis of the utter circus.

Any one of you have near that accomplishment? I know I’d love to see him in a DOJ position. Perhaps politcial corruption crimes?
