President Trump hinted that it is “possible” that the FBI’s top post will be filled by Friday, according to a White House press pool report released Saturday. Trump mentioned that he might even make the final decision on who gets the top FBI post before he leaves for Saudi Arabia Friday, saying “even that is possible.”
“We can make a fast decision,” Trump said, explaining the FBI’s vetting process.
Trump spoke highly of the candidates for the position, describing them as “very well-known” and “highly-respected” people with a lot of talent, according to the pool report. The president did not say whether these candidates are being vetted for the interim director or permanent director position.
“Almost all of them are very well known,” he said. “They’ve been vetted over their lifetime, essentially. But very well known, highly respected, really talented people. And that’s what we want for the FBI.”
Four candidates for the permanent position to replace former FBI director James Comey are being interviewed Saturday by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Fox News reported.
The four candidates include Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), and New York Court of Appeals Judge Michael J. Garcia.

“Just like Darrell Issa. Been calling him out for years.”
Issa lobbying for Lieberman as head of FBI is all you need to know to assess as a terrible choice. The fact that LIEberman is even under consideration is more evidence that the swamp will never be drained.
things I tell myself:
1. We are getting some deregulation
2. Hopefully Gorsuch will not turn into a Roberts
3. Things would be exponentially worse with Hillary lording over the libs and RINOs who fill the undrained swamp
well, I hope your husband gets the job....:)
Just please, please not J. Lieberman. I recall him being called here Loserman and being close of McCain.
Gowdy in the end said he was not interested. I hope Lieberman is a fake by Trump or just testing the waters.
