Talk:Kash Patel#RfC closure

While still the FBI director, he appears to have been replaced as the acting ATF director as of Apr 9, 2025 - would advocate modification of this article to reflect the change.

I removed some "material" about a gift after graduation. It's not really that notable. Malerooster (talk) 15:17, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Some editors have deleted the entire Personal Life section without any discussion on TALK page. The section had relevant content and references, and should be restored.

Some details are moved to Early Life section, making it unduly long.

Also, many details belong to Personal Life sectio per WP:LAYOUT.

Thanks. 05:57, 21 April 2025 (UTC) RogerYg (talk) 05:57, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hi Satellizer talk contribs, Please try to restore Personal Life section, as you correctly mentioned that these details are more appropriate for this section rather than making Early Life section unduly long. Thanks RogerYg (talk) 06:00, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Remove the word "falsely" from the following sentence:

"In 2023,[127] Patel wrote Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy, a memoir that falsely describes the origins of the FBI investigation into Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign..."

Rationale:

Why the word "falsely"? How do you know it's false? Where's your evidence? No citation is provided for this claim. He's the one who conducted investigations into these things, and he wrote a book about it from his own first-hand experience. If you're going to label his book as "false", you need to provide some evidence. I think the claims in his book could be challenged if there's another side to the story or evidence that contradicts him. But even then, a whole court case would be needed to decide what's true. And then the best you could say is, "xyz has disputed his claims", or "so-and-so court case ruled that this claim was untrue". But you can't just label things as "false" without any evidence or citations or proof. 98.53.212.35 (talk) 00:30, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

:I agree, but I'm going to let someone else decide that, because I've already been told not to edit "contentious topics," as you can see here. 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ♰ 00:38, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

::{{not done}}: The sentence in question has a direct citation to the New York Times, a reliable source which backs up the claim that Patel's memoir contains false statements. Day Creature (talk) 05:39, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

The line in the 4th paragraph should be rewritten or removed entirely. " Patel has promoted several conspiracy theories about the deep state, false claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election, QAnon, COVID-19 vaccines, and the January 6 Capitol attack." Patel has released documents about Russiagate that has proven it was indeed a 'deep state' operation without any evidence to support the narrative that was based on completely false intel and that was coordinated by FBI leadership in coordination with DNC operatives.

Should be changed to, "Patel has shed light on corruption, including illegal and other unethical behavior within the federal government by previous leadership at the FBI and other agencies as with the regards to the Russiagate investigation and other operations."
