Patel is at the FBI to steal our money, glorify Trump, deep-six criminal investigations of Trump and his friends, be a googly-eyed little goblin and *nothing else*.
That's why he has a media relations strategy but no law enforcement strategy.
He's the tool of a kleptocracy, not any kind of lawman.

I see no royalties from Proof of Corruption anymore, so I'm telling folks to read it just because clearly its story—sourced with thousands of citations—hasn't crystallized yet.
Men and women who media still treat as public servants long ago revealed themselves to be active enemies of our democracy.

My belief *as a journalist* is that it's *factually inaccurate* to describe Patel as FBI director, Bondi as AG, Todd Blanche as Deputy AG, John Sauer as SG, Jeanine Pirro as USA for DC, or even Emil Bove as a judge.
These are *Trump personal lawyers* loyal *only* to him *ever*—*no* other loyalties.

My point is that media—even Mother Jones, which has done great work on Trump-Russia issues—is so far behind the story that we're acting like Patel getting $25,000 from the Kremlin is jawdropping. Patel was and remains willing to work with any enemy of America to advance himself and his client Trump.

As established in the exhaustively sourced 2020 bestseller Proof of Corruption (Macmillan), Kash Patel—who everyone forgets is a Trump personal lawyer (via the classified docs case)—was a key part of the secret "BLT Prime" team in 2019-20.
Its goal? Work with the Kremlin to steal the 2020 election.

I am tracking 15 Russian regions covering 20% of the total population, and they paid out compensation for 19,500 killed soldiers in 2025. This supports estimates of up to 100,000 Russian KIA last year. (Changes from month to month don't show battlefield dynamics, rather budget dynamics).
