Kash Pramod Patel served as the chief of staff to the Department of Defense (DOD), where his responsibilities included implementing the secretary of defense’s mission involving three-million-plus employees, a $740-billion budget, and $2 trillion in assets. Prior to his experience at the Pentagon, Mr. Patel served as deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counterterrorism on the National Security Council (NSC). In that capacity, Mr. Patel oversaw the execution of several of President Trump’s top priorities, including eliminating Al-Qa’ida and ISIS senior leadership, and safely repatriating dozens of American hostages. As one of the highest-ranking officials at the ODNI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the White House, Mr. Patel gained unique expertise straddling the nexus of government and private sector operations for the defense of our nation to include defense, cyber, and intel. Before joining the NSC, Mr. Patel served as the national security advisor and senior counsel for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), where he spearheaded the investigation into the Russian active measures campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election. A native of New York, Mr. Patel graduated from the University of Richmond with a bachelor’s in criminal justice and history, received a juris doctor from law school in New York, and a certificate in international law from the University College London Faculty of Laws in the United Kingdom. Mr. Patel left government service in January 2021 and is now in the private sector. He has established the Kash Foundation and FightWithKash.com to continue his work fighting for Americans and holding corrupt government accountable.
“I recommend #GovernmentGangsters by Kash Patel (Post Hill Press), in which he goes after the #Russiagate rumor of 2016 against Trump. He thoroughly covers the Devin Nunes memo, which he investigated, implicating the DOJ, FBI, CIA, Clintons’ DNC, and, among others, Representative Adam Schiff, who is now running for the Senate from California.... But my endorsing this book isn’t because I’m pro- or anti-Trump—the problem is deeper. So much of our Government has degenerated to a state of lying that it believes its own lies…. To sum it up, I’d say this book is really about the Big Lie and how it infects us. In this case, if you follow the outlines of this, you can see how it’s led us to a place where Biden and Co. are now threatening a nuclear Russia, and our populace is not well informed.” -- <B>Oliver Stone</B>
