Hi, I'm a constituent writing from 80209. My name is Sandy.
I’m deeply concerned at Trump’s decision to fire Christopher Wray and replace him with Kash Patel as the director of the FBI. It’s profoundly dangerous—not just because Patel is unqualified and has suggested he’d like to dismantle large parts of the agency, but because firing a Senate-confirmed FBI director so that the president can replace him with a loyalist will create a constitutional crisis. The FBI director is supposed to be insulated from politics. Presidents from both parties have consistently respected this precedent. Trump’s intention to reinvent the FBI as an instrument of personal presidential power is outrageous and unacceptable. The Senator needs to speak out against it loudly and refuse to cooperate. Thanks.
