So this trumper kid Kash Patel is blocking the pentagon transition.

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.

"Kashyap “Kash” Patel, an Indian American official in President Donald Trump’s National Security Council, is at the center of a controversy for his alleged involvement in the Ukraine scandal.
Refuting the charges leveled against him Patel, Senior Director of counter terrorism at NSC, has filed a defamation law suit against Politico as well as journalist Natasha Bertrand.Politico had reported Patel’s involvement in Trump’s reported plan to withhold $400 million in military aid to Ukraine to pressure the new Ukrainian president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.

The suit has been filed in a Virginia state court against the American political opinion company, Politico which alleged that Patel presented himself as an imposter Ukraine expert in the White House.

Actual NSC Ukraine expert shut out of meetings to make room for Devin Nunes' fake expert
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/10/30/1896106/-Actual-NSC-Ukraine-expert-was-shut-out-of-meetings-to-make-room-for-fake-expert-via-Devin-Nunes

When Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman went in to testify before the House impeachment inquiry on Tuesday, Donald Trump tweeted a complaint about testimony from people he “never heard of.” It may seem strange that Trump didn’t even recognize the National Security Council’s Ukraine expert, who had taken part in multiple White House meetings and listened in on Trump’s calls with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. However, it turns out there’s a good reason that Vindman didn’t seem all that familiar to Trump: One of Rep. Devin Nunes’ pals had been pretending to be the White House Ukraine expert. And officials kept Vindman away from Trump because the presence of the actual expert might “confuse him.” [snip]

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.
