Lieberman, an ex-Democratic senator and former candidate for vice president who changed his affiliation to Independent, had been considered a frontrunner for the post, The New York Times reported.

And shortly before leaving on his current foreign trip, Trump said he was "very close" to selecting someone to fill the position that became vacant when he fired Comey.

But, according to the Times, Trump's staff had urged him to take more time in making the decision.

And now Trump has decided he want a broader range of candidates for the post, CNN reported.

Trump is retaining the services of lawyer Marc Kasowitz to help navigate the investigations into his campaign, The Washington Post reported.

Amen!

Thanks for the ping. Hope you’re right and given your track record you undoubtedly are.

The only detriment. And, having an ill wife, he would be stretched between family and business. Sheriff Clark was another favorite - he has been called to fill another position. Trusting DJT’s decision here; all we ask is a law enforcer and no political hacks We patiently await the decision and if LS is correct, our raincoats will be nearby to see no ‘sploding heads spoil our garments.

"IIRC McFeeley withdrew his name from consideration the other day..."

Oh, phooey, back to the drawing board for my next guess !

Thanks,

Alf is sad.

[Joe Boucher]

Good

[blueyon]

I would like Tom Fitton of Judical Watch as FBI director, if I had my pick

[Georgia Girl 2]

Lieberman was a head fake. He was never a serious choice.

[GizzyGirl]

I love that I’m on your ping list! Thank you so much and it’s always a pleasure to read your pings and mail! I never thought Joe was “a real candidate” however the law firm relationship issue is good, the left will always believe he had a chance!

[nikos1121]

Where did you pull this one out of? Has he been interviewed?

[nikos1121]

I would love him to pick Joe Piscopo

[stephenjohnbanker]

I never bought Joe for a second....why I never commented on it. This was to me a classic “Romney Tease” lol

[DoughtyOne]

You’re a better man than me then.

I heard that and it made my teeth itch.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Here’s why.

Joe is a GUN grabber.

Joe is a leftist, except on defense....aka a Chickenhawk. NO way Trump would pick Joe. E Z call.

[DoughtyOne]

Good reasons.

Glad you’re the wiser one here on that one.

[MinuteGal]

FBI veteran McFeeley was on the list from the beginning. However, another freeper posted below mine that he had withdrawn his name from consideration. I don't know if he was interviewed or not.

I figured Lieberman’s name was cheese for the maze! :-)

[Chickensoup]

Thank God!

We need a take no prisoners Attila the Hun Type.

Any honest capable person with a kick-ass can do attitude will do.

Optics. Trump threw a crumb to the opposition.

The other day, historian Larry Schweikart said that Trump's "tweets" were like throwing bits of cheese into a maze to attract mice. The media, playing the role of mice, run into the maze after the cheese while the administration carries out Trump's agenda. The Lieberman trial balloon sounds like another hunk of cheese dropped into the maze.
