Ex-FBI Agent Says This Trump Loyalist Would Be 'Extremely Dangerous' Pick To Lead Agency
HuffPost
Daniel Brunner said Kash Patel lacks experience to lead "an organization, no less a Cub Scout pack."
A retired FBI special agent on Sunday issued a dire warning about Kash Patel, a loyal ally to Donald Trump that the president-elect is reportedly eyeing to become the agency’s new director.
“He has no experience leading an organization, no less a Cub Scout pack, to put him in front of the lead law enforcement agency in the United States — and some consider the world — to have him in charge of so many employees,” said Daniel Brunner in an interview with CNN’s Jessica Dean.
Trump is considering firing FBI Director Christopher Wray and ending his 10-year term early in order to pave the way to nominate Patel to the post, CNN reported on Friday.
The move would sing to the tune of the president-elect’s interest in filling government roles with loyalists to go after his perceived enemies.
Brunner told Dean that Patel — who served as chief of staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack — lacks experience for the post and he’d instead follow Trump’s revenge-seeking orders.
