Kash Patel, now serving as FBI Director under President Donald Trump\u2019s second term, is pulling no punches.<\/p>\n
Patel is making waves with explosive claims that the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was a politically motivated hit job tied to the failed RussiaGate narrative.<\/p>\n
In an interview with the New York Sun, Director Patel declared, \u201cThe FBI\u2019s invasion of Mar-a-Lago was illegal. We are going to hold people accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement echoes what millions of Trump supporters have long believed: that the raid on the president\u2019s private residence was not about national security but about neutralizing a political opponent.<\/p>\n
Patel, a key figure in dismantling the RussiaGate hoax, called the raid \u201ca continuation of a weaponized justice system.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also emphasized that there was \u201cno predicate\u201d for the raid, citing a lack of constitutional authority. \u201cThis was lawfare, not law enforcement,\u201d he told Fox Business.<\/p>\n
The raid, which occurred under Joe Biden\u2019s watch, has drawn intense scrutiny. Conservatives argue that the DOJ never showed the same vigor when investigating Democrats.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s clear that two sets of rules exist\u2014one for Trump, and another for everyone else,\u201d Patel said.<\/p>\n
The FBI has yet to produce substantial evidence justifying the raid, fueling speculation that it was intended to derail Trump\u2019s political comeback.<\/p>\n
Patel pointed to his own experiences exposing the Crossfire Hurricane scandal. \u201cThe same people who lied about Russia collusion were behind this raid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Trump has also blasted the raid, calling it \u201can unprecedented attack on American democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Patel insists that the documents in question were declassified. \u201cI was there. The President had the authority to declassify, and he did,\u201d he told Fox News.<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cIf there was truly a national security risk, they wouldn\u2019t have waited months to act.\u201d<\/p>\n
Legal experts sympathetic to Trump say the raid sets a dangerous precedent. \u201cWe\u2019re criminalizing paperwork,\u201d said former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman.<\/p>\n
Even liberal commentators have begun questioning the raid\u2019s timing and optics.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, House Republicans have launched investigations into the DOJ\u2019s conduct. \u201cThe American people deserve answers,\u201d said Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan.<\/p>\n
As pressure mounts, Patel is calling for criminal referrals. \u201cIt\u2019s time to prosecute the prosecutors,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
He also took aim at the media, saying, \u201cThese so-called journalists are complicit. They cheered on a raid they would have condemned under any other circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n
With Trump back in office, efforts to root out corruption within federal agencies are ramping up.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe deep state is real,\u201d Patel concluded. \u201cBut we\u2019re not backing down. Not now. Not ever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
