No,no,no,no,no Joe!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Gotta be a joke. No relevant experience, too old, too political.

[Lisbon1940]

His age is an advantage in this case. He can come in for a couple of years until Russia blows over. Then Trump can appoint a young vigorous true-blue FBI Director who will serve for a decade.

[boycott]

You’re probably right. He also needs to pick someone that could be approved by both sides.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Joe Lieberman has no qualifications to head up the FBI. I think this is a head fake.

[servantboy777]

Is Trump a conservative or not? Why would he pick a liberal?

[Blue Highway]

Any reason why Rudy Giuliani isn’t considered for this position?

[Bonemaker]

Lieberman the leftwing democrat anti gun Connecticut puke? You’ve got to be kidding me Don!

[Parley Baer]

Let him be a finalist but do not appoint him. Much better people available. Ray Kelly for one.

[Sal]

Three house owning commie Bernie?

[Mase]

This idea is even more stupid than placing family members in positions of power within the White House. This would be a disastrous decision. Appearance of reaching across the aisle = ok (although I’d rather knock their teeth out) but actually doing it is totally unacceptable.

Very bad choice... Trump still doesn’t get it, this is an ideological war and he isn’t one. He doesn’t understand the liberal mindset, he needs to listen to Bannon on this one more than the rest of his staff.

[Just mythoughts]

Dear President Trump, Lieberman is NOT the person for this job. Find a nonpartisan person, that will not pervert further this nation’s law enforcement agency... Bad choice!!!!!!

[Right Wing Assault]

We need a tough guy. Joe ain't it.

[mombonn]

That man makes my teeth hurt. I will NEVER forget (or forgive) that shameful speech the "conscience of the senate" delivered, giving clintbilly a pass.

I agree, I don't think Trump is serious, but the very suggestion nauseates me.

It also makes me think that the RAT "opposition" to him is intended to trick Trump into choosing him.

[BillyBoy]

Callista Gingrich for Vatican Ambassador is just "meh", but Joe LIEberman for FBI Director is HELL NO on my scale.

Haven't read thru the thread comments yet, but I'd bet money there's the usual spin claiming the 95% socialist LIEberman is a "conservative" Democrat and "with us" on "national security issues"
