People on Kash Patel’s so-called ‘enemies list’ taking drastic steps for protection before his potential FBI takeover

One of the people on Kash Patel’s list of “corrupt actors” from the “deep state” is taking the drastic step of moving their family before Patel’s potential confirmation to lead the FBI. The individual, granted anonymity to speak freely about security measures, decided to relocate in the coming weeks and is taking other steps to keep their new home purchase anonymous. They said they’re doing this because they are afraid Patel might weaponize the FBI against them or use his platform to inspire others to take action. “After being doxed several years ago, we were tired of dealing with the constant anxiety of always needing to look over our shoulders,” the person told CNN. “Everyone deserves to have safety and security at home. Moving and taking precautions to keep our address anonymous will feel like a weight lifted.” The list in question appears as an appendix at the end of Patel’s 2023 book, “Government Gangsters.” It names more than 50 current or former US officials that he claims are “members of the Executive Branch deep state,” which he describes as a “dangerous threat to democracy.” Some of these people are now taking dramatic measures to protect themselves and their families, according to interviews with nearly a dozen people on Patel’s list or who fear they’ll be scrutinized by the Patel-run FBI. The list includes a blend of high-profile figures and lesser-known officials who might be more vulnerable if Patel pursues retribution. Democrats pressed Patel on the topic Thursday at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
