FBI Director Kash Patel’s mandate is to expose the deep state’s crimes and hold the conspirators accountable.

Patel struck the motherlode.

And what Kash Patel just exposed about this anti-Trump plot is the bombshell of the year.

FBI Director Kash Patel told Sean Hannity on the most recent episode of Hannity’s podcast how he navigated the deep state snake pit to uncover the illegal spying the FBI deployed against Donald Trump, beginning in the 2016 election.

Patel worked for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) and wrote the memo about how the FBI lied to a FISA court using the hoax Steele dossier as evidence to obtain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.

“It took me two years of my life to prove the following: that a political party in the United States of America in the 21st century would go overseas and hire some bogus intelligence asset to manufacture fraudulent, fake, unverified information, funnel that to not just the intelligence community, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” Patel told Hannity.

Patel went on to detail how the FBI disguised the fact that the Steele dossier was opposition research paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and instead falsely presented it as an intelligence product.

“And then take those packaged lies that they had paid for with campaign finance funds and go into a secret surveillance court and illegally spy on your opponent to be the president of the United States,” Patel added.

Patel then went on to recount how the FBI even lied to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on him.

“I was illegally spied on by the likes of Rod Rosenstein (former U.S. deputy attorney general) and Chris Wray (former FBI director) and 10 other staffers on the Hill and people who were elected to serve this country in the halls of Congress,” Patel added.

Once the FISA court became aware of how the FBI broke the law to obtain the FISA warrants, the courts rescinded them, a major embarrassment for the bureau.

“The FISA court itself came back and said these warrants were illegal,” Patel added. “The FBI did not provide evidence of exculpatory evidence and innocence, and the FBI essentially lied in those applications, and all the information was unverified.”

“I don’t think that’s ever happened before… Hollywood couldn’t come up with this,” Patel concluded.

Patel’s comments come as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) are scheming to jam a three-year renewal of Section 702 of FISA, which allows the FBI to spy on Americans without a warrant through Congress.
