“Who recommended this character?”
Yes, if there is one place where Trump has really f*cked up, it’s with his appointments. Besides Barr, Mnuchen, Pompeo and a few others, he’s picked a passel of feckless turds who actively oppose him and his policies (Tillerson, Mattis and Wray are top of my list). If the FBI’s “corruption” is isolated at the top, why not pick a rank and file FBI Agent and make him Director? And to make things worse, he rides way, way too long with them (can you say Jeff “The Little Southern-fried Pr!ck” Sessions as a shining example?).

How soon we forget POTUS was publicly threatened by Senators of his own party not to fire Sleepy Sessions.
Anyone nominated to head of an agency that came out of the SES ranks has to be suspect. Those that go through the SES training are all hand selected to be good little Democrat bureaucrats. It is like academia. One only gets their PHD by conducting research and publishing the material approved by the elites. Advance only occurs for those that toe the party line. The SES was a noble idea but should be abolished as should the civil service.
It just goes to show you how deep the corruption is in Washington. It’s got to be very hard to know who to trust when most people in Washington are well versed in the art of deception.
