Reject Kash Patel as Unfit FBI Director Nominee
To: Sen. Kelly, Sen. Gallego
From: A verified voter in Chandler, AZ
January 29, 2025
I urge you to oppose the potential nomination of Kash Patel as FBI Director. Patel's history of spreading disinformation about Russian interference in the 2016 election and efforts to discredit the Russia investigation raise serious concerns about his ability to lead the FBI with integrity and independence. As a key player in Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, Patel has demonstrated a willingness to put political interests over truth and democracy. The FBI Director must be someone committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting our democratic institutions, not an unabashed partisan operative. Patel's actions show he lacks the impartiality and credibility required for this critical position overseeing federal law enforcement. I strongly urge you to reject any potential Patel nomination and instead support a nominee with unimpeachable ethics and a firm commitment to the FBI's independence and the pursuit of justice without prejudice.
