Episode 86: Government Gangsters by Kash Patel - Deep Dive Book Review

Today's review is a look at Kash Pramod Patel's Government Gangsters, a non-fiction book detailing the author's experiences working within the US government, exposing alleged instances of corruption and political manipulation within various agencies. Patel recounts his career, starting as a public defender, progressing through roles as a federal prosecutor and congressional staffer, culminating in his service as a top aide to President Trump. Patel's book focuses on his own clashes with the "Deep State," a term he uses to describe unaccountable elites who allegedly abuse their power for political gain. Specific cases are examined, including the Benghazi investigation, the Russia investigation, and the Mar-a-Lago raid, highlighting alleged instances of political bias and prosecutorial misconduct. Ultimately, the book argues for significant reforms within the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the intelligence community to restore public trust and accountability.
