HuffPo reports that Kash Patel has been connecting RNC money to the insurrection. Recall that Patel has had a part (see Nunes) in the background of the first impeachment and the Mueller Report as well as the pre-positioning of national security trumpists in advance of the insurrection. Barrel-time is coming and it’s not about subpoena compliance. Step-by-step, squeezing’s going to happen.
WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee’s WinRed platform is raising money for Jan. 6 witness and former Donald Trump aide Kash Patel’s legal defense fund, further tying the national party to the insurrection Trump incited in a last-ditch attempt to remain in power.
“I’m done playing defense. It’s time to go on the offensive! That’s why I’m fighting back. But to win, your support is critical to helping me reach my $250k goal to fund a top-notch legal team,” Patel’s webpage text explains, beside a giant photo of him standing next to Trump. “So, make a gift now to help me strike a major blow to the far-Left media and Big Tech!”
While many participants and witnesses involved in the assault on the Capitol are scrambling to create GoFundMe accounts, the former president’s hand-picked Pentagon chief of staff has access to the RNC’s portal, rolled out two years ago to help GOP candidates and committees raise small-dollar donations.
Patel, who did not respond to multiple HuffPost queries, is not running for anything. Rather, donations go to the “Kash Patel Legal Offense Trust,” which, according to wording at the bottom of the webpage, “will be allocated for purposes including (but not necessarily limited to) valid legal expenses.”
