They really need someone from outside the FBI and DOJ to clean house. They need to completely look at how all the Obama/Hillary scandals were (not) investigated and hold people accountable. Career guys will want to protect their buddies and institutional reputation.
Good work, detective.
Not McCabe then? Excellent!
As I understand it the President recess-appoints when congress not in session. Looks like a good sense of timing if I understand all of this correctly.
Interesting!
The key to this direction President Trump is taking is that he is putting FBI professionals back in charge of that agency.
Comey is a lawyer, not a law enforcement veteran. No more politicians for the FBI.
McCabe is one of five people on the list. I doubt he will get the interim gig.
Job #1: Fire McCabe. Or re-assign him to Point Barrow Alaska.
“Not McCabe, as had been previously reported.”
Well that’s a relief, I just wished he wasn’t the acting. Even if he was on the list I didn’t expect him to get the job of course but while he is the Acting Director he could be a problem. Looking at the list it looks like they are going the safe non-controversial route. I think would have liked Sheriff Clark boom!
what ? no women ? MISOGYNISTS ! MISOGYNISTS !
Krauthammer, brilliant as usual, suggested:
CONDI
good gosh
How about “don’t be stuck on stupid” Gen Honore?
He’s an outsider, a leader, and has actually drained a swamp at NOLA.
Clint Eastwood.
Maybe another Elliot Ness...
Hopefully for the permanent replacement they will find a career law enforcement guy instead of some hack lawyer/politician
Best news I’ve heard today...apart from the weeping and knashing of teeth from the left that is.
Hopefully not the guy from Virginia.
what is interim ? how long can an interim FBI director serve before having to be sent to congress ?
