Summary
Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, has sparked fears of retribution among current and former DOJ, FBI, and intelligence officials.
Known for pushing “deep state” conspiracy theories and naming adversaries in his memoir, Patel may target Trump critics like Liz Cheney if confirmed.

Concerns include potential mass FBI retirements and prolonged federal probes. Patel’s nomination underscores Trump’s pledge to seek vengeance on perceived enemies.
