(Via ABC) 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.

How about Trey Gowdy? I think he’d do better in a position where he doesn’t have to play all the games needed to run for reelection all the time.
Really prefer an actual LEO to take the reins and clean house.
I just don’t get why everybody wants Trey Gowdy. The FBI is a law enforcement organization, not a prosecutorial outfit.
Wasn’t part of the problem with Comey that he was not part of the FBI?
Personally, I think promoting from within the Bureau is far smarter than parachuting someone in who has no understanding of the culture.
My dad thinks it’s gonna be Sheriff Clark that gets it.
It’d be a good choice.
I agree, I don’t want a political figure there. I want a seasoned professional, preferably a life-long FBI man.
Clark’s the man for the job.
Clark?
Because of his vast experience at the FBI?
A county sheriff is an elected position. What requisite experience does Sheriff Clark have? I mean other than appearing as a guest on Fox News?
