U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein are interviewing candidates to take over the FBI as interim director, after James Comey's firing Tuesday.

Four candidates are being interviewed today, fielded from senior FBI and Justice Department officials and the heads of FBI field offices across the country, according to a Justice Department official.

The four candidates: FBI Executive Assistant Director Paul Abbate, who leads the agency’s cyber and criminal branch; National Counterintelligence Executive William Evanina; Special Agent Adam Lee, who runs the Richmond field office; and Special Agent Michael Anderson, who runs the Chicago field office. A new FBI director is expected to be chosen and announced within the next 24 to 48 hours.

According to Wiki, L Patrick Gray, who worked at the DOJ, was picked to be the interim director when Hoover died.

Prez Trump likes the military, hopefully they are looking at retired and active JAG officers.
