- Will Donald Trump use Kash Patel to attack his critics and the First Amendment? - Limitations of US law shield most journalists, but long-term use of the Espionage Act to prosecute leakers provides Trump an alleyway to attack critics.
The article from MSN discusses concerns about Donald Trump potentially using Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, to target his critics and undermine the First Amendment if Trump were to win a second term. Patel, known for his loyalty to Trump, has been involved in controversial actions during his tenure, including efforts to declassify sensitive information and his role in the events leading up to the January 6 Capitol riot. Critics fear that Patel could be instrumental in a Trump-led initiative to retaliate against media outlets, government officials, and private citizens who have opposed or criticized him. This includes using legal and governmental powers to investigate or punish perceived enemies, thereby threatening press freedom and the constitutional rights to free speech. The article highlights the potential for a significant erosion of democratic norms and the rule of law, drawing parallels to authoritarian tactics.
