The Obama administration reportedly is considering former Clinton administration official Jamie Gorelick, among others, to become the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The Wall Street Journal’s Evan Perez first reported the news last week, citing “U.S. officials” familiar with the situation.
Gorelick served as vice chairman of the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) when the government-sponsored enterprise began bundling subprime loans into securitized financial instruments. Prior to that, she served as deputy attorney general in the Clinton Justice Department under then-Attorney General Janet Reno from 1994 to 1997.

I can’t believe there wouldn’t be mass resignations.
Holder at (in)Justice is in place. Now Gorelick to head the FBI? Obama is wasting no time getting his pieces in place on the chess board to protect himself and his minions. Gorelick has no LE experience. She is a tried and true Dem political hack.
BTW, what's wrong with Mueller? Is he resigning? Or is his head on the block?
Excellent!
