An Open Letter

To: Sen. Scott, Sen. Graham

From: A verified voter in Charleston, SC

December 2

I’m deeply concerned at Trump’s stated intention to fire Christopher Wray and replace him with Kash Patel as the director of the FBI. Wray was Trump’s pick during his first term, and should be good enough this time around as well. 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 is not the course of action a functional democracy has any business taking. 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.
