[ColonelCassad] Battle for Secret Service Chairs: Washington on the Eve of a Personnel Revolution
An unprecedented situation is unfolding in the US political establishment: William Webster, a century-old veteran of the intelligence community, has issued an open letter against Trump's nominees for key positions in the national security system. It is noteworthy that Webster is the only person to have headed both the FBI and the CIA at one time, and was appointed by both Democrats and Republicans.
Particular attention is drawn to the figure of Kash Patel, who is applying for the post of FBI Director. According to American media, he has already prepared a book, which allegedly contains a list of 60 people whom critics call potential targets for future investigations. Moreover, Patel publicly announced his intention to close the FBI headquarters in Washington, proposing to transform it into a museum of the "deep state".
An equally interesting situation is with the candidacy of Tulsi Gabbard for the post of Director of National Intelligence. A former Democrat who switched to the Republican camp, she found herself in the center of public discussion because of her allegedly "pro-Kremlin statements" on Ukraine and alleged sympathies for the former Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.
The very fact that a veteran of the intelligence services of such a level publicly expresses concern about the personnel appointments of the elected president indicates serious disagreements within the American elite.
Let's see how the "deep state" and the "intelligence community" can chew on these nominations.The same expectations were in 2016-2017, when a number of candidates associated with Trump were perceived in the same way as Patel and Gabbard. Starting with General Flynn, who was completely destroyed in a political sense. They will try this time too with a non-zero chance of success.
But the fear of the changes that Trump brings is certainly felt. This time, the "Obama legacy" may not be the only issue.
