Trump puts loyalist previously sent to investigate MI6’s Christopher Steele in key Pentagon position

Patel visited London in 2017 but neither the US Embassy nor the British Foreign Office were aware of the trip,

Republican Congressman’s staffer who was sent to London to “investigate” MI6 officer Christopher Steele over his dossier on Donald Trump has been appointed to a key role in an unprecedented takeover of the Pentagon by the President’s team.

The Democrats have expressed grave concern about what has been described as a “coup” in the heart of the US military with a raft of senior officials being replaced by Trump loyalists following his firing of Defence Secretary Mark Esper.

Kashyap ‘Kash’ Patel has been named as Chief of Staff to Chris Miller, who has been appointed Acting Defence Secretary by Trump. Other appointees include Anthony Tata, a retired Brigadier General who once called Barack Obama a “terrorist leader”, and Douglas Macgregor, a former colonel who referred to refugees and migrants to Europe as “ Muslim invaders” and called for martial law at the Mexican border.

"Again, I’ll just say that Donald Trump has access to everything and when he leaves he continues to have a good deal of information he can use to his benefit and his personality has shown that he doesn’t have a lot of discipline beyond using information or people or relationships to his financial gain. It’s always about the money," Brzezinski said.

"You follow the money, you end up with what the answer is to the question, what’s with Russia? You look at Turkey, you look at his relationship in Saudi Arabia and how he handled everything. It’s all leading to potential past financial transactions that might have been stopped that never came to fruition or future financial transactions and I worry this president will have quite a party with all of this information that he learned as president when he leaves office. That is unless, Willie, certain sections of law enforcement come after him," she added.

"Yeah. He could find himself in any number of courts but I think you’re right to go back to his presidency and his personality which is that he likes to be the guy with the information. It was gossip back then, now it’s national security secrets,"

The Never Trump mission has been extremely direct, but their methodology has been scattershot. They claim to oppose the president in the name of conservatism, but they all have backed Joe Biden and by extension Democrats in down-ticket races. Everything about how empty the movement has been is explained in one sentence: For four years these arbiters of "True Conservatism" have never forwarded or even backed a single conservative candidate in any race.

The desire to be accepted by the left has been deeply imbued in all of them. The Lincoln Project has absolutely subsisted on donations from almost exclusively Democrat millionaires. The various players attempted to take credit when Biden emerged as the Democrat candidate, and they promoted him heavily throughout the campaign. Now that he has the chance to rise into the White House these warriors are suddenly going to become pariahs. The fact that TLP is now engaged with doxxing members of the law firm working with the administration to target voter fraud shows their desperation to remain relevant to Democrats.

Reed Galen, whose production company Summit Strategic Communications has siphoned off huge amounts of the donations sent to The Lincoln Project, has already declared his new target. Galen has his sights set now on Marco Rubio because…well, who even knows with this cadre of desperate grifters. One can guess if they focus on other names despised by the left-wing the money can still flow, keeping them in Park City condo suites.

Bill Kristol is busying himself right now with supporting John Ossoff in his runoff election in Georgia, because nothing solidifies your conservative credentials than backing the pro-choice leftist alongside Alyssa Milano. Jennifer Rubin wants to draw up enemies lists. Max Boot penned a lengthy ode to his fellow Never Trump gang members, sounding more like an obituary. This is not the behavior of people who are happy with an election result.

If you were at the Fox Studio Lot in Los Angeles, however, you could be forgiven for being unaware of the attacks.

That is where Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch held court at the company's annual shareholder meeting, which was held in-person on the lot. The names Biden and Trump were not mentioned in Murdoch's 15 minute introductory statement, though he did praise Fox employees and Fox News, which he said had a record-breaking year thanks to its "live news, analysis, and clear and strong opinion."

"Our journalistic excellence saw viewers across the country and across the political spectrum turn to us" for coverage of the novel coronavirus pandemic and the 2020 election, Murdoch added.

The only politician mentioned at the annual meeting was a former one: Ex-House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Fox board member who joined Murdoch on stage at the meeting. Lachlan's father, Rupert Murdoch, chose to attend remotely via phone.

According to the invitation, all in-person attendees were mandated to wear a face covering and stay at least 6 feet from other attendees, with seats blocked out to maintain a social distance. Fox also required a health screening for all shareholders attending, including a questionnaire and temperature check.
