Last year, Kash Patel, the MAGA provocateur whom Donald Trump has nominated to head the FBI, received $25,000 from a Russia-linked production company to participate in a documentary in which he assailed the FBI and called for closing its headquarters.
In November, Tucker Carlsons online network released a six-part series called All the Presidents Men: The Conspiracy Against Trump that purported to chronicle the familiar MAGA conspiracy theory that a Deep State plotted against Donald Trump while he was a presidential candidate in 2016 and when he was president. The fourth episode focused on Patel and his years-long crusade to depict the Trump-Russia scandalMoscows attack on the 2016 election and Donald Trumps efforts to cover up its existenceas nothing but a total hoax orchestrated by nefarious Democrats and rogue government operatives.
In this filmwhich credits Patel as an executive producerhe offers a blistering attack on the FBI. He calls it a corrupt enterprise and claims it has been on the Democratic Partys payroll. He says, Im the guy thats going to tell you they need major reforms. Im going to tell you to shut down the FBI headquarters building and open it up as a museum of the Deep State the next day. Seriously, you need 50 guys in Washington running the FBI. He pushes the false claim that the FBI launched its Russia investigation in 2016 on the basis of the infamous and unconfirmed Steele memos. And he insists that the FBI and the rest of the US intelligence community that investigated Russian interference in the 2016 election knew it didnt exist. He also asserts that globalists have been working with Al Qaeda to make a profit.
The series was produced for Carlson, who is featured in the final episode, by Global Tree Pictures, a Los Angeles-based firm run by Ukrainian-American-Russian filmmaker Igor Lopatonok. He and Russian-born film director Vera Tomilova, the chief financial officer of Global Tree Pictures, who holds a US green card, are listed in the films credits as its producers. Global Tree raised the financing for the series, according to a contract filed in Rudy Giulianis bankruptcy proceedings. (Giuliani also starred in the documentary.)
