Letters to the Editor: Kash Patel confirmed as FBI director: Welcome back, J. Edgar Hoover

LA Times  

Kash Patel, seen before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Jan. 30, was confirmed Thursday as FBI director. With the confirmation of Kash Patel to direct the FBI, the agency can now return to the days when Hoover, its first and longest-serving director, sought retribution against his enemies, illegally tapped phones and spread malicious gossip against leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and many others. To the editor: Confirming Patel as FBI director is the equivalent of awarding the Medal of Honor to Timothy McVeigh. My sympathies go out to the many brave and dedicated members of the FBI whose careers and lives will be destroyed, thanks to a pack of irresponsible cowards who happen to be United States senators.
