Kash Patel out

The Senate Judiciary Democrats say FBI Director Kash Patel will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee next Tuesday. • • I covered the last hearing in May when Patel testified in front of a different Senate Committee and things got very fiery, with intense focus from the left on reports about his personal conduct and alleged abuses of the position. Director Patel denied those allegations and pushed back against Democrats. • •

Director Kash Patel is one of the great operative partners of this era: strategy at the White House, tactics with special-mission units, diplomacy that produces captures, and leadership of small teams in every theater that matters. His return as the ninth FBI Director was not a beginning, it was a man coming back to the hunt. • • He learned the courtroom as a Florida public defender, then prosecuted terrorists at Justice and served as DOJ liaison to JSOC. On the House Intelligence Committee he wrote the Nunes memo. At the NSC he ran counterterrorism — senior ISIS and al-Qaeda leaders off the board, Americans brought home. He served as Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, overseeing all seventeen intelligence community agencies, and at Defense, he ran the Secretary’s shop. • • Back at the Bureau he put agents on violent crime and the homeland. Homicides down on the order of 20 percent. Arrests doubled. Gangs and Tren de Aragua smashed. Thousands of children found. Predators and traffickers taken. Fentanyl seized by the ton. Spies arrested. More Ten Most Wanted pulled in than in the prior four years combined. • • And he did what Washington said could not be done: in partnership with Ambassador David Perdue, made great strides in Beijing on fentanyl precursors and scam compounds. Joint work with China, the Gulf, Thailand, Cambodia, and others. With Türkiye — through Turkish authorities and his disciplined and empowered teams a $3.7 billion Medicare alleged fraud fugitive was taken on Turkish soil and flown home. Through that same Turkish cooperation, one of the most wanted terrorists, Mohammad Al-Saadi, was arrested and transferred into U.S. custody. Diplomacy as targeting. No sanctuary. • • That is Patel. Bespoke teams. Hard targets. New partners who finally showed up. America safer because he came back.

Asaf Rosenzweig Politico reports: FBI Director Kash Patel is preparing for a very unusual visit to Russia on October 14-15, and is expected to visit both Moscow and St. Petersburg. It is not yet clear whether he is expected to meet with Putin. The last FBI director known to have visited Russia was Robert Mueller in 2013. Politico emphasizes that Patel has a history of involvement in controversial issues related to Russia since Trump's first term

Who did we see at the @WhiteHouse today? • • @FBIDirectorKash Patel, under whose leadership, I dare say, more Jihadi plots have been disrupted, cartel thugs and gang members arrested, and foreign intelligence assets and American traitors neutralized than under any other FBI chief.

Of the 6 fugitives caught since Patel took office, 4 were seized within a month of the FBI leadership elevating them to the top of the Ten Most Wanted list. Two of those four were grabbed within 24 hours of being added to the list, according to the FBI.

"It's only a matter of time": The White House is considering firing FBI Director Cash Patel due to his reputation and frequent media coverage, Politico reports, citing a White House official. The main reason is the large number of negative stories involving Patel and Trump's fatigue with the official's constant mentions. He has been arrested twice for alcohol-related incidents. First, in February 2001, as a junior at university, under the legal drinking age, he supported a basketball team during a game while drinking alcohol, for which he was fined. Then, a second time, in 2005, as an adult, he was allegedly arrested and fined for attempting to urinate outside the bathroom. This was reported by the Intercept, citing Patel's personnel file. Yesterday, the Pentagon's head of nuclear and chemical safety, Andrew Hagg, was fired for disclosing classified information to a woman on a dating app, CBS reported. In February, the FBI director traveled to Milan on an agency plane to attend a US Olympic hockey match. During the trip, which cost American taxpayers $75,000, Patel drank beer on camera.
