The Question Kash Patel Needs to be Asked

I don’t know of anyone more devoted and loyal to Donald Trump than Kash Patel. With him at the FBI the President knows he has a man he can trust. As the head cop of the federal government, Patel will wield great power and need great discretion.

The FBI has a long and sorry record of improper political activism. Many of its violations of the civil liberties of American citizens were politically motivated. Is a man so feverishly loyal to the President capable of ever saying “No”?

If the President tasks him with surveilling his political opponents, with no legal justification, would Patel ever resist? If he cannot honestly agree to do so, he should not be confirmed.
