One of the stooges that was recently put in there by Trump. This guy needs to be ridden out of town on a rail, tar and feathered.
Post Trump we have to make sure democrats use all their influence to insure these kind of people are ruined, ostracised, put on a blacklist, never to find another good job.

Actual NSC Ukraine expert shut out of meetings to make room for Devin Nunes' fake expert

Patel had previously been best known for deliberately leaking intelligence documents to help Nunes undermine the Russia investigation. At the White House he became another of what turned out to be a series of unofficial channels Trump opened up with Ukraine. Trump had Rudy Giuliani running around Europe with a pair of indicted associates provided by a fugitive oligarch. He had the three amigos of Rick Perry, Gordon Sondland, and Kurt Volker badgering Ukrainian officials for investigations. And Trump had Patel ferrying raw intelligence data to the Oval Office and providing his own, completely uninformed spin on what was happening on the ground.
