At the end of his first term in office, then-President Donald Trump sought to install Kash Patel, a hard-line MAGA loyalist, as deputy CIA director. But the head of the agency at the time, Gina Haspel, a career intelligence officer, threatened to resign in protest, and the appointment was scuttled.
Now, four years later, Patel is considered a possible pick for CIA director or another high-level national security post in a second Trump administration. And there likely will be no one to stand in his way this time.
Patel is one of several fiercely loyal political allies who President-elect Trump is considering to oversee the country’s national security. In his first term in office, Trump frequently clashed with his deputies and top officials, who he came to view as insufficiently loyal to his agenda.

Did they get 51 of their ilk to sign a statement to that effect?
Perhaps they are really worried about the facts being unsealed on their book “How We Got Rid of Jack and Bobby”.
Oh F them.
Do they mean to say they’re afraid they’ll be brought to justice? Filthy, lying, hypocrite, scumbags should be deported to Iran or North Korea or hell. I think hell would be appropriate.

CIA, FBI, DOJ all need new leaders and frankly all new agents
Sweet.
The CIA is already ‘politically active extension of democrats’ how could Trump politicize what is already been political? The statement is absurd, and demonstrates complete ignorance of recent history and facts since at least 2015. If this is sincere, I feel the individuals are too misguided to work for government. If it’s deflection, or further political posturing, again to misguided to work for government.
Therefore, anyone working for the CIA and especially the FBI, that expresses these emotions should be immediately dismissed. It’s should be a litmus test.
