Keep Kash Patel away from the FBI: Departing Director Chris Wray is the right kind of leader

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : On Sunday, speaking on "Meet the Press," Trump was asked: "Are you going to fire the current FBI director, Christopher Wray, who you appointed?" replying that "I can't say I'm thrilled with him.
38% : Trump made it clear that he wanted Wray out and was going to ignore the purpose of the 10-year term, meant to insulate the FBI leadership from presidential politics and elections by saying he was going to nominate Patel as FBI director before there was a vacancy.
35% : There were no FBI employees at the Ellipse where Trump gave his speech, there were none among the crowd on the National Mall and there weren't any who invaded the Capitol.
35% : That's the truth, but Trump still loves Patel and his lies, telling "Meet the Press": "Kash Patel is very fair.
30% : No, only after Trump refused polite requests from the National Archives for government documents and then lied and tried to hide the classified records, were agents called to recover the boxes.
26% : Which is why Joe Biden kept on Wray and which is why every president, again, but for Trump, has kept on the FBI director appointed by an earlier president.
25% : With the exception of Trump, no president has ever fired an FBI chief without cause.
12% : FBI Director Chris Wray is resigning several years before the end of his statutory 10-year term for one, terrible reason: Donald Trump had promised to fire Wray when he's sworn in as president next month and install the unqualified and unfit Kash Patel, a real disaster for justice.
5% : Trump was the first to do so when in early 2017 he canned Jim Comey, who badly botched the on-again, off-again 2016 probe of Hillary Clinton's emails (which was prompted by the seizure of sex offender Anthony Weiner's laptop).
