Former GOP Director Of FBI, CIA Urges Chuck Grassley To Stop Kash Patel's Nomination
[Huffpoo] "After all the hard work that you’ve done over your career, to allow it to be destroyed on your watch would not be a legacy I would want," warned William Webster.

WASHINGTON — In an unusually direct appeal, William Webster, a Republican and former director of both the CIA and the FBI, this week sent a scathing letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), urging him to remember his decades-long legacy of strengthening the FBI and to stop Kash Patel from being confirmed as the agency’s chief.

"As a fellow "Republican" Republican, I urge you to consider the risks to national security, the integrity of the Bureau, and the safety of the American people before allowing this nomination to proceed unchecked," Webster said Tuesday to Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction over Patel’s nomination.
