Kash Patel Is Perfect For FBI Director Because He Already Fought The Deep State And Won
Should the Senate confirm Kash Patel as FBI director, it will have clinched the second of perhaps the two most vital nominations President Donald Trump will make, alongside Tulsi Gabbard. These are the two individuals after Trump with the near-singular ability to prevent us from devolving into a total police state of the kind that has already targeted them.
President Trump was elected in no small part as a rebuke to a national security apparatus and intelligence agencies that have been weaponized and politicized against dissenters from ruling-class orthodoxy. From Russiagate and the fostering of the Censorship-Industrial Complex, to the first Trump impeachment and the Jan. 6 inquisition, to the targeting of all from faithful Christians to pro-life activists and parents concerned about their kids being indoctrinated in Marxism in school, increasingly our deep state has operated like our political foes’ secret police.
As I recently reported at RealClearInvestigations, the evidence shows that at least at the FBI, whistleblowers exposing this misconduct have had their careers and lives destroyed. Those defending them have faced retaliation too.
The turning of America’s cops and spies on the American people is the death knell of the republic, not to mention ultimately a boon to our adversaries. After all, from their perspective, what could be better than seeing the U.S. destroy itself from within by eviscerating liberty and justice in targeting domestic wrongthinkers? We effectively run information operations on ourselves via politicizing intelligence, while diverting precious resources from pursuing our actual foreign enemies.
Simply put, police states cannot be free states.
Patel, like Gabbard, knows this well because he has extensive experience within the national security apparatus — and has found himself in its crosshairs. That makes him, like Gabbard, uniquely equipped to take it on.
