Houston?
We have a PROBLEM.…..
It would appear that Federal Lawmakers ARE telling Donalsd Trump AGAIN to leave the Federal Law Enforecement System out of his revenge thing…..
Chris Wray, a Republican, WAS picked BY Donald Trump….
Congress HAS set FBI Directors with 10 year terms for EXACTLY to NOT have what Trump is proposing….
Firing one Director to hire one subservient to a sitting President…..
Wray was expected to serve until 2027, unless HE wanted to leave the job on his own, something Wray, has NOT expressed….
Kash Patel has been open about pleasing Trump by ‘going after ‘ the agency….
Could Trump be going 0-2 on his early picks ALREADY??
And destroying his political momentum against HIS Partry In Congress?
Appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” Sen. Mike Rounds (R-South Dakota) said that Trump “has the right” to make appointments and that he was not surprised the president-elect is picking “people that he believes are very loyal to himself.” But he also praised Wray, calling him “a very good man” and saying he’d had no “complaints” or “objections” about his stewardship of the agency. He noted that Trump appointed Wray to a 10-year term….

Trump’s selection of Patel comes as the president-elect has rolled out proposed nominations and appointments that appear aimed at putting his political allies in key positions where officials and agencies had contradicted or angered him in the past.
Trump’s announcement Saturday night does not amount to a formal nomination, and Patel can’t take over the FBI unless Trump fires Wray or the FBI director steps down before the end of his 10-year term.
FBI directors typically have 10-year tenures, unique among appointments in the executive branch. That span, which extends beyond two consecutive presidential terms, was imposed in 1976 as a post-Watergate government reform effort after it became clear that Richard M. Nixon’s pick to serve as FBI director, L. Patrick Gray, destroyed documents related to the bureau’s investigation of the Watergate scandal and gave Nixon’s administration briefings on the investigation. The term limit is meant to assert the independence of FBI directors from any political leader or party….

“Christopher A. Wray, of course, is a Republican appointed by a Republican,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “But apparently [he] has demonstrated too much independence and objectivity in the job for Donald Trump, who wants much more of a personal loyalist in the position. And that’s why he’s gone to Kash Patel.”…
…
If confirmed to lead the FBI, Patel could have the power to carry out Trump’s threats to go after his political opponents and punish those involved in what Republicans have described as unjustified investigations and prosecutions of Trump and his allies….
