Former GOP Director Of FBI, CIA Urges Chuck Grassley To Stop Kash Patel’s Nomination

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON – In an unusually direct appeal, William Webster, a Republican and former director of both the CIA and the FBI, this week sent a scathing letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley, urging him to remember his decades-long legacy of strengthening the FBI and to stop Kash Patel from being confirmed as the agency’s chief. “As a fellow Republican, I urge you to consider the risks to national security, the integrity of the Bureau, and the safety of the American people before allowing this nomination to proceed unchecked,” Webster said Tuesday to Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction over Patel’s nomination. More chillingly, if confirmed, Patel would bring to the FBI his “enemies list” of more than 50 current and former U.S. officials, who he could target for retribution on Trump’s behalf. In his 2023 book, “Government Gangsters,” Patel refers to these officials as “members of the Executive Branch deep state” and describes them as a “dangerous threat to democracy.” Webster tells Grassley that much more is at stake with Patel’s nomination than just his own potential ascent into the FBI.
