It's going to be really awkward when Kash Patel is called to testify before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence with Ranking Member @DevinNunes. đŸ§” https://twitter.com/AshaRangappa_/status/1347373081921261579
For those who don't know, Kash Patel was the cum laude of Devin Nunes' "Hogwarts School of Treachery and Treason."

They have a long history of not-so-clever but very shady schemes together. https://twitter.com/NunesAlt/status/1326382440722673666?s=20
Trump recently appointed Kash Patel to chief of staff of acting Sec of Defense, Christopher Miller. Prior to that, he worked in the White House in national intelligence and NSC roles.

He was in no way qualified for any of these positions. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/24/politics/kash-patel-pentagon-transition/index.html

Kash Patel moved from the WH to the DoD right after Trump lost the election. He started running interference to block PE Biden from gaining full access to the DoD. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-loyalist-kash-patel-blocking-some-pentagon-officials-helping-biden-n1250053
Trump loyalist Patel limits Biden transition access to Pentagon staff

"He told everybody we're not going to cooperate with the transition team," one former official said, and he has "put a lot of restrictions on it."

In his time at the WH, Kash Patel was involved up to his eyeballs in the Ukraine scandal that led to Trump's (first) impeachment.

He also authored the infamous Nunes memo full of cherrypicked facts to attack law enforcement for investigating Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/23/us/politics/kash-patel-ukraine.html
White House Aides Feared That Trump Had Another Ukraine Back Channel (Published 2019)

Senior national security officials grew concerned about Kash Patel, a colleague who had been involved in Republicans’ efforts to undermine the Russia investigation.

Trump referred to Kash Patel as his "top Ukraine policy specialist," even though he knew all of jack shit about Ukraine.

Trump was taking debriefings from Patel instead of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, one of the country's actual top Ukraine experts. https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/30/nunes-acolyte-misrepresented-himself-to-trump-as-ukraine-expert-061763
Testimony: Nunes acolyte misrepresented himself to Trump as Ukraine expert

Just like his big bro Devin, Kash has also dabbled in the indelicate art of frivolous defamation suits, having sued both Politico and CNN. https://www.ibtimes.co.in/trump-aide-kash-patel-files-50m-defamation-suit-against-cnn-831262

Also I can't bring up Kash Patel without talking about his "order of ineptitude" issued by a federal judge.

It's fitting because we all know Trump will take a loyal idiot over a competent smart person any day. It seems he got just what he wanted. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/you-dont-add-a-bit-of-value-do-you-texas-judge-berates-government-lawyers/2016/02/11/0b3a181c-d006-11e5-88cd-753e80cd29ad_story.html

A tongue lashing in a Houston courthouse has the Justice Department in high dudgeon.
