Kash’s Corner: Conviction of Highest Level ISIS Member in American History; Families of Murdered Hostages Get Justice
Kash’s Corner: Conviction of Highest Level ISIS Member in American History; Families of Murdered Hostages Get Justice
In this episode, Kash and Jan discuss the recent conviction of ISIS member El Shafee Elsheikh for his involvement in the hostage-taking and killings of four American citizens: aid workers Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller and journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff.
As senior director of counterterrorism at the National Security Council, Kash played a key role in efforts to extradite El Shafee Elsheikh and fellow ISIS member Alexanda Kotey to the United States. Along the way, Kash developed a close relationship with the families of the victims, some of whom he met with again recently.
“It’s always tough. It’s always emotional because you have to remember, they’re here to watch the trial of one of the individuals who beheaded, tortured, abducted, and raped their children,” Kash says.
In this episode, Kash offers background on how these extraditions and trials work, pays tribute to the families, and shares what it was like behind the scenes of the raid that led to ISIS leader al-Baghdadi’s death.
While, each and every episode that Kash & Jan have done have been excellent, this episode, for several reasons, is their finest and the most important to me. God bless y Kash, for holding the line and ACTUALLY following the law, and making sure that they were extradicted. Exemplary.
And, God Bless President Trump for setting this in motion.
I am so proud of Kash for making this happen, the only appropriate outcome, to me.
And executed with such intelligence, high standards, honor, dignity and deep compassion for the families. I have not seen anything like this in our country for such a very long time.
I’m enormously grateful to Kash and to President Trump for so many things, most especially for renewing my hope with everything MAGA!!!

I completely agree with you. Kash Patel is a man of honor, class, and intelligence. The best of humanity.
