My letter to Senators regarding Donald Trumps nominees for government positions.
Dear Senator
I believe Donald Trump is thin skinned and vengeful and he
will try to exact revenge on any lawmaker, media personality or citizen who
does not or has not succumb to his worst impulses.
Therefore, I ask you to reject all the most controversial nominees
for government and law enforcement positions by Mr. Trump.
Beginning with Pam Bondi for Attorney General, while she has
some qualifications, she is clearly a Trump acolyte. I fear that she will not support
the independence of the Justice Department and in fact bring the entirety of
the agency under his thumb.
Kash Patel for FBI is clearly a Trump sycophant. He has said
on more than one occasion that he will exact revenge for perceive slights
against Trump and will weaponize the FBI for Mr. Trumps benefit.
Tulsi Gabbard for D.N.I. Questions about her loyalty to the
United States aside, her fealty to Donald Trump means all of our most precious secrets
may be vulnerable to sale to the highest bidder.
Pete Hegseth for Defense, Kristi Noem for Homeland Security,
Mehmet Oz for Medicare and Medicaid, Lee Zeldin for E.P.A., Robert F. Kennedy
Jr. for HHS, Doug Collins for Veterans Affairs, Howard Lutnick for Commerce, Martin
A. Makary for F.D.A., Chris Wright for Energy, Linda McMahon for Education, all
these nominees and more have questionable qualifications and motivations that
disqualify them from holding the offices they’ve been chosen. The biggest disqualifier
is their uncompromising allegiance to Donald Trump who has promised to use our
government against the American people.
Normally I would encourage the nomination of a Presidents
choices. They have been elected and deserve to have cooperative people managing
departments. This Presidency, I believe
will bring retribution to this country beyond our imaginations. It is what he
has said he would do. With these nominees he would have full control of the federal
government with no checks, no restraint, complete immunity, and will damage our
country and our constitutional republic beyond repair.
Sincerely,
Gary DeVaan
