News reports indicated Frances Townsend to be a potential FBI Director in the wake of James Comey's firing. Townsend is a private equity underwriter, as are most of President Donald Trump's appointments. Prior to PEU employment Frances served as White House Homeland Security Advisor under President George W. Bush. In that role she conducted the investigation into the federal response to Hurricane Katrina.
Her investigation was abysmal. It omitted the hospital with thirty five patient deaths after Katrina made landfall. Twenty five of those deaths were on the LifeCare Hospital's unit on the seveth floor of Memorial Medical Center. The Carlyle Group purchased LifeCare just weeks before Katrina made landfall.
Fran Townsend was part of the White House team that failed Americans in need. She crafted the White House Lessons Learned report on Hurricane Katrina. Her poor quality report should disqualify her from serving as FBI Director. We don't need corporate risk management at the expense of truth and public service. Brand Trump needs help but that should not happen to the detriment of our country.
