"We're going to come after you": Kash Patel pledges revenge if Trump wins again
Threats of political revenge are commonplace among Donald Trump and his supporters. Now a former official in the Trump administration is threatening to retaliate against those who challenged Trump's 2020 election claims, the Associated Press reported.
”We’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections,” Patel said in a recent interview with Steve Bannon, referring to the 2020 presidential election. “We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminally or civilly. We’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice.”
Patel's zeal for Trump landed him in the administration's National Security Council, and he served briefly as chief of staff to acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller. In his final months in office, Trump considered installing Patel as the deputy director at either the FBI or CIA to strengthen his control of the intelligence committee, but was forced to scotch the plan after CIA Director Gina Aspel and Attorney General Bill Barr threatened to resign.
“Patel had virtually no experience that would qualify him to serve at the highest level of the world’s preeminent law enforcement agency,” Barr wrote in his memoir.
If Trump wins a second term, Patel will have another chance to realize his plans to "dramatically" limit the FBI's authority, curtail the Justice Department's Civil Division and jettison a Pentagon office that evaluates long-term trends and risks, all under the guise of fighting the "deep state." He appears to be doing everything in his power to make sure that happens, touting Trump at rallies and on radio shows as "our juggernaut of justice" and serving as a national security advisor for the former president, getting more than $300,000 from his leadership PAC since the last of last year for his troubles.
Patel may be loyal to Trump, but he has also used his proximity to build his own fame and wealth, emblazoning merchandise with his trademarked "K$H" heraldry, promoting a variety of goods marked towards Trump supporters that included a COVID-19 vaccine "detoxification system" and publishing two children's books that lionize Trump. In one of them, Patel, adapted as a wizard called the "Distinguished Discoverer," exposes a plot by a thinly-veiled Hillary Clinton against "King Donald." Records show that Patel has made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from his business with Trump-related entities.

What does an Indian actor know about anything except struggling to keep his career in the US going.
Good luck with that.
Oh.
Never mind.

When Kamala is inaugurated next year, one of the first things she should put into action is a Presidential investigation into the validity of the 2020 election AND the 2024 election. It should be a top priority. A complete breakdown of every vote, every irregularity and every fact there is about the election. Every made-up election interference conspiracy theory should be addressed and debunked with evidence and witnesses. It should include all the court challenges Trump tried (and will try in 2024) and detail what the allegations were and why they were baseless and thrown out of court. It should also include reference to all the parties who pushed the fake election lie and it should address the Dominion/Fox News case and what happened there.
Then the results should be published in a huge book and discussed in the media far and wide. Everything should be compiled in great detail and laid out on the table for the world to see. Complete transparency. Obviously, the MAGA idiots will never accept reality but the rest of intelligent and reasonable Americans will know that the 2020 and 2024 elections were 100% fair and by the book.
This may be the only way to shut Trump up. Every time he screeches "FAKE ELECTION BY THAT NASTY WOMAN" the investigation results should be repeated to him. Over and over until he shuts up.

"Over and over until he shuts up."
Trump is genetically incapable of shutting up. It's his "brand."
The only way Trump will ever shut up is when he kicks the bucket.

He’s really wasting his breath-if Trump gets back in the White House he’s not going to associate with an Indian like “Kash” it will be WHITES ONLY just like the good ole days.

We have ensure a loss for Trump so severe that not only would it would be impossible to question this election, but it will reinforce his loss in 2020. America fired him.

I would love to know the inter-Indian gossip of all the players. Patel is Gujarati, specifically Koli, businessmen/traders (many hotel owners in the US are Patels). I think Nikki Haley is Punjabi and Sikh. Ro Khanna is also Punjabi but Hindu, as is Bobby Jindal. Pramila Jayapal’s family is South Indian, and Kamala is Tamil, as is Vivek Ramaswamy. I’m sure there’s caste stuff going on too, Vivek and Kamala come from Brahmin families (so her humble single mother story ignores the pedigree of her grandfather).
Knowing Indians ability to both brag and gossip, I’m sure there’s lots of insider intrigue. No Bengalis in American politics? And no Dalits either? Anyway, this guy has none of the family pedigree of the others. Thus how he’s behaving.
