Gray nomination tests FBI independence and political taint
Hearings on L Patrick Gray III for FBI director raise doubts about White House ties and political patronage. If rejected, the president could appoint a professional law enforcement head or form a blue ribbon panel to name a nonpartisan successor. The decision would set a lasting tone for the FBI’s ties to the administration.
