Urge the Senate to Reject Kash Patel!
Donald Trump has announced his plan to appoint Kash Patel, one of his most loyal supporters, to lead the FBI. This nomination is troubling for many reasons. To nominate Patel, Trump will either have to fire the current Director of the FBI or ask him to resign. This fundamentally erodes the independence of the FBI.
Worse, Patel is clearly being tapped for this role to help carry out Trump’s campaign of retribution against anyone he views as an enemy. He’s been picked, not for his experience, but for his record of explicit loyalty to Trump. We must urge the Senate to reject this nomination!
