How Kash Patel Became a Useful Idiot for Vladimir Putin

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. el-became-a-useful-idiot-for-vladimir-putin.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Monday, December 9th 2024 at 15:00 GMT by Mother Jones}

With Donald Trump tapping Kash Patel, the MAGA provocateur, conspiracy theory monger, and grifter, to be FBI director, it's time to revisit the Trump-Russia scandal. I know many folks think this is old news.

The article from Mother Jones discusses Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, who has been actively involved in promoting conspiracy theories and defending Donald Trump against allegations related to the Russia scandal. Patel, who served in various capacities including at the National Security Council and as chief of staff to the acting Defense Secretary, has been described as a key figure in Trump's efforts to undermine the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The piece highlights how Patel has used his positions to push narratives that align with Trump's views, often portraying Trump as a victim of a "deep state" conspiracy. It also notes his connections with other Trump loyalists and his role in potentially influencing future investigations or legal actions should Trump return to office. The article portrays Patel as a "useful idiot" for Putin, suggesting his actions inadvertently support Russian interests by sowing discord and weakening trust in American institutions.
