In his explosive book, "Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth and the Battle for Our Democracy," Kash Patel, the new director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), pulls back the curtain on what he describes as systemic corruption within the federal government. Released in 2023, the book offers a firsthand account of Patel’s journey through the corridors of power, from his early days as a public defender in Miami to his pivotal roles in uncovering the Russia collusion hoax and navigating President Donald Trump's first term. Patel's revelations paint a troubling picture of a Deep State that prioritizes political expediency over justice, raising urgent questions about accountability and the future of American democracy. Patel’s story begins in Miami-Dade, Florida, where he worked as a public defender after graduating from law school. It was during a high-profile drug trafficking case that he first encountered what he calls the “rot” within the system. He discovered that Colombian police involved in the case were being paid by the federal government, a fact that federal prosecutors failed to disclose, violating the Brady rule. When he confronted the prosecutor, she denied any knowledge, even though the evidence of this corruption was clear. This experience, he says, was a turning point, revealing how those tasked with upholding the law were willing to bend or break it to secure convictions. From there, Patel joined the Department of Justice as a terrorism prosecutor, where he witnessed what he describes as the politicization of justice at the highest levels. He recounts an incident in which a judge unjustly threw him out of court, seemingly more interested in grandstanding than delivering justice. Despite support from his superiors, Patel found himself abandoned in the media firestorm that followed. Patel’s disillusionment deepened during the investigation regarding the Benghazi scandal, where he says political considerations led to selective prosecutions and a failure to hold terrorists accountable. He argues that under the administration of former President Barack Obama, the Justice Department and FBI prioritized political expediency over justice, setting the stage for the scandals that would later rock the Trump presidency. In 2017, Patel joined the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence as a staffer, where he played a key role in uncovering the truth behind the Russia collusion hoax. He describes the painstaking process of sifting through documents and interviewing witnesses, ultimately revealing that the FBI’s case was built on the discredited Steele Dossier. He found out that the Steele Dossier was fraudulent, and that its creation was funded by the campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. Regardless of its discredited nature, the FBI still used it to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. The release of the Nunes Memo, which detailed these abuses, was a bombshell, but it came at a cost. Patel faced intense backlash, including death threats and relentless media attacks. Patel's journey continued in the Trump administration, where he served on the National Security Council and later as chief of staff at the Department of Defense. He describes the challenges of working in an environment where political appointees and career bureaucrats were often at odds. "The Deep State fought us every step of the way," he writes, detailing efforts to declassify documents related to Russiagate and the Hillary Clinton email scandal. He also recounts the impeachment proceedings involving Ukraine, which he calls a "hoax" orchestrated to undermine the president. Perhaps most controversially, Patel addresses the events of Jan. 6, 2021, arguing that the narrative of an "insurrection" is a politically motivated fabrication. He points out the timeline and multiple testimonies that do not support the claims that it was an insurrection. He warns that the crackdown on dissent following the Capitol breach represents a dangerous erosion of civil liberties. "Government Gangsters" is more than a memoir; it's a call to action. Patel's experiences serve as a stark reminder of the challenges facing American democracy and the importance of holding those in power accountable. As the nation grapples with questions of trust and transparency, his book offers a sobering look at the forces shaping our government — and the fight to reclaim it.
