Tutustu Kash Pateliin, Trumpin kumppaniin, joka mahdollisesti vie FBI:n täysin uuteen suuntaan – ja miksi se herättää hämmennystä!
Kash Patel, Donald Trumpin pitkäaikainen liittolainen ja vahva FBI:n kriitikko, on nyt asetettu johtamaan yhdysvaltalaisen lainvalvontaviranomaisen tulevaisuutta. Trump on ilmoittanut aikovansa nimittää Patel FBI:n johtajaksi, mikä herättää kysymyksiä siitä, mikä vaikutus hänellä tulee olemaan vaikutusvaltaiseen virastoon, jonka perinteisiin kuuluu pitää presidentit etäällä. Patel on tunnettu asenteestaan hallituksen valvontaa ja "syvää valtiota" kohtaan, ja saattaa olla, että hänen nimityksensä merkitsee muutosta FBI:n toimintatavoissa – ainakin presidentin näkökulmasta.
Poliittiset keskustelut Patelista ovat jo vilkastuneet, eikä kukaan voi ennustaa, saako hän vahvistuksen senaatista. GOP:n senaattori Mike Rounds on ilmaissut varovaisuutensa, ja jopa entinen kansallisen turvallisuuden neuvonantaja John Bolton on verrannut Patelia Neuvostoliiton salaisen poliisin johtajaan. Tämä vertaus on herättänyt paljon keskustelua, sillä se tukee käsitystä siitä, että Patelin johtajuus voisi olla tulevaisuudessa pelottava laji.
Republikaanit ovat kuitenkin osin tukeneet Patelin nimitystä. Esimerkiksi edustaja Mike Lawler on ilmaissut, ettei hänellä ole varauksia liittyen Patelin mahdolliseen toimintaan FBI:ssa. Tämä on mielenkiintoista, sillä se osoittaa, että edes puolueen sisällä ei ole yksimielisyyttä siitä, mitä Patelin hallinta tullessaan tarkoittaa FBI:lle ja sen roolille lainvalvonnassa.
Kash Patelin nimittäminen FBI:n johtajaksi on kuin avaisi Pandoran lippaan; saatat saada mitä tilaat, mutta voit myös huomaamattaan avata ongelmavuoren. Jään mielenkiinnolla odottamaan, mitä tapahtuu seuraavaksi – tuleeko FBI:stä Trumpin leikkikenttä vai selviääkö se kaikista haasteista ja pitääkseen perinteet elossa? Tiesitkö muuten, että FBI:n historia juontaa juurensa vuoteen 1908? Monia sukupolvia on koulutettu ja valmistautunut pitämään maa turvallisena, mutta nyt kaikki voi olla vaarassa Patelin johtajuuden myötä!
