Meet the New FBI Boss. He Sued the Old Boss. And Got Laughed Out of Court

^{Published on 2024-12-13 10:20:50 - Rolling Stone}

Patel nonetheless casts this memo as a world-shaking unmasking of the "Deep State"
which he describes in his 2023 book Government Gangsters as a "cabal" of "incestuous, power-hungry, unelected oligarchs in Washington who hate us."

The article from Rolling Stone discusses Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, who has been actively involved in efforts to reshape the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) according to Trump's vision. Patel, who served in various capacities including as a key figure in the National Security Council and as chief of staff to the acting Defense Secretary, has been pushing for the dismissal of FBI Director Christopher Wray and has been part of a lawsuit against Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland. This lawsuit, filed by America First Legal, accuses Wray and Garland of not complying with a FOIA request regarding the FBI's handling of the January 6 Capitol riot investigation. Patel's actions are part of a broader campaign by Trump allies to purge what they perceive as a "deep state" within these agencies, aiming to replace current leadership with individuals more aligned with Trump's political agenda. The article highlights Patel's role in Trump's post-presidency efforts to influence and control key governmental institutions, reflecting ongoing tensions between Trump's political circle and the established bureaucratic structures.
