Sheriff Clark for head of DOJ!!!
I believe that a president can fire the head of the FBI.

Trump should clean house in the entire Justice department. It’s a `rats nest.
He can’t. It is not a Presidential appointment like that. He has an intentional term that is different than the President’s.
It “supposed” to keep the guy unbiased.
Move Comey’s desk to the windowless basement.
I stand corrected, Read This:
28 U.S.C. section 532 provides that the Attorney General may appoint the Director of the FBI. No limitation is placed on the ability of the AG to fire the FBI director. As such, the AG may fire the FBI director at will.
If the President wanted to, the President could fire the FBI director by asking the AG to do so. Congress need not approve.
Q. FBI Director Robert Mueller, who is serving a 10-year term, has come under fire for covering up the bureau’s lapses before Sept. 11. Can he be fired?
A. Yes. The president may remove a director with adequate cause. President Clinton dismissed Director William Sessions halfway through his term on charges that Sessions misused official resources—such as using FBI aircraft for personal trips.
Government Apprentice would be an awesome show!
I’d pay to see some of these corrupt bureaucrats called on the carpet and told “You’re fired!!”
This is how the dems view govt. As a means to get one over on and punish their enemies. . Us. The story isn’t criminality but how she got away with it.
It’s a `rats nest.

A rats’ nest suffering from a lawyer infestation.
sure he can....all president trump needs is a pen and an executive order that’s what obozo does. then wait for the congress to take it to court.......not gonna happen.
There is no way we can restore the rule of law without addressing the enemy combatants infesting D.C.
Comey will be months gone by the time Trump gets inaugurated.
He sure has a lot of things that he should do “first”! Why not cancel all of the boyking’s illegal executive orders first and then go from there. Firing Commie should definitely be on his top ten things to do today list though.
that’s exactly what wrong with DC, the criminals just resign or lose their jobs instead of paying an adequate price for their crimes. Bring back the public gallows and set it up in front of the WH.
There are so many things he should do "first" that it's difficult to say which one is absolutely most important, but that is a pretty good "first."
and put one on Wall Street too
The FBI needs a consummate professional - what we thought Comey was.
Fire him? Prosecute the SOB, er, “deeply flawed human being”.
This. Get rid of the Democrats in Federal Service and hire Republicans to replace them. Since we have now switched over to the "spoils" system of governance, we might as well do it with a vengeance.
Second thing, start rescinding Obama's "executive orders".
