Last month, President Trump officially nominated Kash Patel for the role of FBI Director in his next Administration.
Kash Patel played an important role exposing the Russiagate hoax when he spearheaded the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into the Hillary-funded Steele dossier under Devon Nunes.
Mr. Patel detailed how Paul Ryan rigged his Russiagate investigation before he even started it in an exclusive post for TGP here.
According to the Inspector General’s report, the FBI secretly scooped up Kash Patel’s emails and phone records starting back in 2017 when he was investigating the Trump-Russia hoax.
Corrupt career federal prosecutors forced Google and Apple to hand over Kash Patel’s communications from September 2017 and March 2018 when Andrew McCabe was the Acting FBI Director.
The court orders prevented Google and Apple from notifying Kash Patel so he had no idea the FBI was spying on him.
“The IG probe reveals that the FBI had renewed the subpoenas each year, snooping on congressional staffers for up to five years. That means McCabe’s successor, Christopher Wray, signed off on the continued collections,” Paul Sperry reported.
FBI Director Christopher Wray announced he will be resigning before Trump takes office next month.
Paul Sperry of The New York Post reported:

According to a new government watchdog report, the FBI spied on its prospective new boss, Kash Patel.
Patel has promised to “clean house” at the Hoover Building, and hold all those who “abused their power” during the Russiagate “witch hunt” accountable.
He might start with the officials and agents who secretly vacuumed up his phone records and emails starting in late 2017, when he led a House Intelligence Committee investigation into the FBI’s reliance on Hillary Clinton’s false opposition research to surveil a Trump campaign official as a supposed “Russian agent.”
According to a nearly 100-page report by the Justice Department’s inspector general, the FBI subpoenaed the records as part of an investigation it opened to find out whether congressional staffers leaked classified information about its Trump-Russia “collusion” case to the Washington Post and other media.
