Reject partisan loyalist Kash Patel for FBI leadership

The prospect of Kash Patel being nominated to lead the FBI is alarming. Patel, a former aide to Representative Devin Nunes and an ally of former President Trump, was involved in efforts to discredit the Russia investigation and undermine U.S. intelligence agencies. His potential appointment would be a politicization of law enforcement and a threat to the FBI's independence and integrity. As public servants dedicated to upholding the rule of law, we must safeguard the FBI from partisan interference and ensure its ability to conduct impartial investigations free from political pressure or retaliation. I urge you to reject any attempt to install Patel or other unqualified loyalists in this crucial position of public trust.
