  • Patel, President-elect Donald Trump's choice to run the nation's premier law enforcement agency, is the author of a list of "deep state" officials to target.

The article from The Washington Post discusses the potential nomination of Kash Patel as FBI Director by former President Donald Trump if he were to win the 2024 election. Patel, a former Trump administration official known for his loyalty to Trump, has been floated as a candidate for this critical role despite lacking traditional law enforcement or intelligence experience. His background includes serving as a national security aide, a role in the National Security Council, and as chief of staff to the acting Defense Secretary. Critics argue that his appointment could politicize the FBI further, pointing to his involvement in controversial actions during the Trump administration, including his role in the events leading up to the January 6 Capitol riot and his efforts to declassify sensitive information. Supporters, however, see him as a staunch defender of Trump's policies and someone who would align the FBI more closely with Trump's political objectives. The article highlights the potential implications of such a nomination on the independence and integrity of the FBI, as well as the broader implications for national security and law enforcement.
