FBI

NOTUS - Kash Patel’s “payback squad”: Inside the FBI is a team of agents willing to pursue political targets set by Donald Trump’s administration. They are tasked with building cases similar to the recent criminal prosecution(s) of former bureau Director James Comey. They’re colloquially known as the “payback squad,” NOTUS’ Jose Pagliery reports, but one of Jose’s multiple bureau sources for the story said the moniker is likely a reference to an effort associated with the Director’s Advisory Team that Patel set up last year.




What they’re up to: The team is building criminal cases that seek to charge former top government officials with a “grand conspiracy” against Trump, Jose writes. They expect their work to soon result in an indictment of former CIA Director John Brennan.
