Kash Patel's nomination as FBI Director poses a grave threat to the independence and integrity of the agency. As a long-time Trump loyalist and conspiracy theorist, Patel has made clear his intention to weaponize the FBI against anyone deemed disloyal to the former president. His track record of spreading disinformation, compiling lists of perceived enemies, and seeking to discredit legitimate investigations raises serious concerns about his ability to lead the Bureau in an apolitical and impartial manner. The FBI Director serves a 10-year term precisely to insulate the position from political interference. Appointing Patel would undermine this principle and risk transforming the FBI into a tool for partisan vengeance. His confirmation would deal a severe blow to public trust in an institution that must remain above partisan rancor. Patel lacks the experience, expertise, and credibility to uphold the FBI's vital law enforcement mission. I urge you to reject Kash Patel's nomination and uphold the FBI's independence as a non-partisan law enforcement agency dedicated to protecting all Americans equally under the law. His confirmation would compromise the Bureau's integrity and democratic accountability. Please stand firm against this deeply unqualified and divisive nomination.
