Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, holds more than $1 million of stock in a fashion company founded in China. He established a nonprofit that spent big on promotion but little on its mission. And he advised a roster of foreign clients, including a Czech arms maker that top Republicans have criticized for being too tight with U.S. adversaries.

Did they ever vet guys like Jim Coney and Chris Wary regarding the stocks they own, and the clients they had, foreign or domestic?

Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, holds more than $1 million of stock in a fashion company founded in China. He established a nonprofit that spent big on promotion but little on its mission. And he advised a roster of foreign clients, including a Czech arms maker that top Republicans have criticized for being too tight with U.S. adversaries.

In a statement, a spokeswoman for Patel, Erica Knight, offered no additional details about the specifics of the work he did. But she said he had “countless meetings with senators” where his finances were discussed. “Mr. Patel has gone above and beyond in this advice and consent process,” she said.

Craig Holman, a lobbyist for the Washington-based government watchdog Public Citizen, said Patel’s business dealings presented problems that need to be explored before he becomes FBI director. “The conflicts of interest seem very obvious to me,” Holman said.

BTW Public Citizen is an extremely far Left origination associated with the Green Party and is “not a watch dog”. It was originally founded by Ralph Nader

Just a hit piece by the Ass Press. The Ass Press being against him is a strong endorsement.

AP and MSNBC earning their US Aid stipends I see. Both networks successfully graduated from the US Aid’s media certification requirements to receive annual payments and enjoy VIP access to information produced by US Aid.

Did the Ass Press ever vet the private investments and the “tight” business relationships of Democrats and Joe Biden?

Because Democrats NEVER have conflicts-of-interests. Those millions of dollars they take from lobbyists mean nothing.

Kash is clean. No one except President Trump was as much the target of the intel dudes during the Russia collusion hoax.

A fashion company is never involved in FBI operations.
FBI should be more concerned with criminals and terrorists coming across both borders freely without a single FBI agent doing anything to stop that invasion. A fashion outfit is not involved in terrorism or murdering young women.

Associated Press was getting money thru USAID. That could clash with reporting honestly on the Trump administration.

including a Czech arms maker that top Republicans have criticized for being too tight with U.S. adversaries.

So members of NATO are now adversaries?

It’s interesting that the AP mentions Shein, but does not mention that list in that same disclosure he was a contributor to Epoch Times and received payment from them.

Epoch Times was founded by Falun Gong members, who are persecuted in China is one of the most vocal anti CCP voices in the world.

Could it perhaps be because that would counter the narrative that somehow Kash Patel is compromised by the CCP?

The Associated Press is as deep state as it gets, so naturally they want to bash Kash. He will make sure the FBI is no longer their partner and stooge.

I’m surprised they haven’t found a bimbo from 20 years ago to come forth and accuse him of sexually assaulting her. That’s their usual game.

Wow, the Deep State really is afraid of Patel and is pulling out all the smear tactics they can. I wonder if the information is from the FBI, CIA, NSA or one of the Five Eyes sister agencies that are part of the Deep State?
