CREW - Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington -- observes in its report on Project 2025's players:

Kash Patel – CIA

A former official in the National Security Council who spent time as the Principal Deputy in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense, Kash Patel is considered a likely pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) – despite being previously considered unfit to hold that job.

During his time in government, first as an aide to former Representative Devin Nunes and then in the Trump administration, Patel worked to undermine Robert Mueller’s investigation into 2016 election interference by writing a biased memo about unsubstantiated alleged FBI misconduct. He has also claimed – without any evidence and in direct contradiction to former Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller’s testimony – that Trump pre-authorized the deployment of National Guard troops on January 6, 2021. Patel’s testimony about Trump’s conduct related to the January 6th insurrection was found to be not credible by a Colorado state judge.

Patel’s activities were considered so problematic by the intelligence community that then CIA Director Gina Haspel threatened to resign in protest if Patel was installed as her deputy. Patel, who was in charge of facilitating the Defense Department’s transition to Joe Biden’s team following the 2020 election, blocked career officials and experts from giving the newly elected administration key information.

To date, Patel remains convinced that Trump won the 2020 election and has promised an agenda of revenge should Trump be reelected, vowing to find the “conspirators” in government and media and go after them criminally and civilly, identifying the so-called deep state as a problem that needs to be fixed.

If Patel were to take the helm of the agency charged with collecting, evaluating, and disseminating vital national security information, he could act on his frustration with the “deep state” and use a Schedule F mandate to sideline or remove career officials and experts.

2. It's a game of pimps and hoes

He pimps at the courthouse every day, his hoes sing the chorus, and the tricks buy gold sneakers.

It's all about him remaining the center of attention.

5. Yep, there's my Rep. on the list. Illinois Nazi Mary Miller.

She was quoting Hitler in her speeches long before it was Republican orthodoxy.
