​Patel focused on declassifying certain documents related to Russia Gate and Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal. He faced opposition from some officials within the Trump administration and overcame that to get the documents out.  He also played a role in declassifying documents that exonerated Michael Flynn, Trump's national security adviser and a former Lieutenant General who was targeted by the Deep State.

The national security apparatus and intelligence community abuse their power. They provoke the baseless political investigations and cover for the FBI which politicizes national security and undermines democracy. To combat this we need specific changes to push the intelligence community back toward its original purpose.  This includes:

*Cutting down on unnecessary staff and implementing the universal classification system with one set of standards.

*We could create an office within the Director of National Intelligence that continuously reviews classified material for declassification in the public interest.

*Stricture prosecution is needed against those abuse access to classified information by leaking it to the press.

*Reforming libel laws would make it easier to sue journalists if they publish defamatory to stories based on gossip or leaked documents.

*We also need to revoke security clearances from former senior government employees who use them for political interference campaigns.

​We need aggressive congressional oversight of the FBI and accountability from corrupt officials through subpoenas and prosecution.  We also need to move the FBI out of Washington, limit its authority and ban jurisdiction shopping, introducing public defender like rules and proceedings would stop unlawful search warrants.  Other structural reforms should include reducing the size of the FBI 's general counsel office, which has exceeded its authority by taking on prosecutorial decision making.   Change is possible through rigorous oversight and reforms.


DEEP STATE IN ACTION (cont.))


​MAR-A-LAGO SEARCH

In August 2022, the FBI obtained a search warrant to conduct a raid on Trump’s home.   This was an unprecedented violation of presidential privilege aimed at disqualifying Trump from future elections. 

The FBI 's partisan actions are part of a larger effort to discredit Trump and prevent him from regaining power.   The Mar-A-Lago raid was partly conducted to retrieve Russia Gate documents and prevent their public release, but Trump wasn't hiding any documents there.

​SERVING AMERICA’S INTERESTS

Kash Patel’s assignments also included coordination of the federal government's counterterrorism activities in line with Trump's agenda, which included securing hostage releases from Syria and coordinating efforts against ISIS.

Patel was involved in the planning of the raid that led to the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.  The operation was authorized by Trump and carried out by the Defense Department and CIA.  Intelligence agencies tracked him down in Syria near the Turkish border in October 2019.  After a tense 45 minute flight through sandstorms and high winds special forces operators arrived at Baghdadi’'s compound where they encountered resistance from ISIS militants.  they secured the area without casualties.  Baghdadi was found hiding in a tunnel with his children, wearing a suicide vest which he detonated, killing himself and his children when cornered by U.S. forces.  All U.S. forces safely returned home, mission accomplished.
