President Donald Trump’s decision to dismiss former FBI Director James Comey has precipitated a small cataclysm in the nation’s capital, as commentators speculate that Trump has dealt a deathblow to his administration’s integrity.
Whether the public shares their assessment is still an open question, but Trump could strike a blow for competence and trust by installing a seasoned prosecutor widely admired by his political opposition — Judge Merrick Garland, former President Barack Obama’s last nominee to the Supreme Court.
The White House has been silent with respect to possible successors, names like Michael Chertoff and Ray Kelly have circulated widely in the hours after Comey’s dismissal.
The strength of his resume alone could make Garland a serious candidate. The judge is a veteran of the highest levels of the Department of Justice, where he executed and supervised sensitive investigations and prosecutions of the sort America can expect in the coming years.

His appointment would also open a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Democratic appointees have a 7-4 advantage on the court, widely considered the second most important in the country, as it has jurisdiction over most federal agencies. Trump’s allies in conservative legal circles would relish the prospect of another GOP appointee on the panel.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha....
No.
What kind of drugs are these people on ? !
Not funny. Do not give an inch to these clowns.
And he would be loyal to Obama’s and Hillary’s minions in the deep state.
Just say NO to this heinous idea.
Swamp gas.
Oh my goodness! These people are loons!
No thanks.
Anyone, anything put forward by Obama must be dead on arival as it is tainted from birth.
Whomever the good cops at FBI have been looking to for hope in restoring the agency - likely in the NY office, someone we don’t know yet - should be their leader.
I bet Preet Bharara knows who it’s gonna be.
Perhaps we have had enough lawyers as director. How about an experienced law enforcement officer as director. Sheriff Clark comes to mind.
Absolutely not. Nice try throwing in the D.C. Court opening. As if 6-5 disadvantage is any better then an 7-4 when it comes to rat judges.
People think they are so clever. How about just straight forward, no theater governance. Good grief.
We’ve had enough self-promoting charlatans as director as well.
Michael T. Flynn for FBI director.
Michael T. Flynn is a retired United States Army lieutenant general who served as the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, commander of the Joint Functional Component Command for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, and chair of the Military Intelligence Board in the obama regime, from July 24, 2012, to August 2, 2014.
Let’s have fun with the Imbeciles and RINOs, make it Director Michael T. Flynn.
Yep, it would show purity of heart to place an Obama clone as head of the FBI.
This is just getting stupider and stupider.
Thanks for posting this. I cannot recall when I have laughed so hard. Liberal insanity on display.
