DC: Department of Justice officials are reportedly interviewing four candidates for the vacant position of permanent FBI director Saturday.
In a bid fill the empty slot as soon as possible, a source with knowledge of the interview process told Politico that officials will interview acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, GOP Sen. John Cornyn, former DOJ Criminal Division Chief Alice Fisher and former U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia from Manhattan.
President Donald Trump abruptly fired James Comey from the position Tuesday, a move that surprised Comey. He wasn’t informed of the move in advance and realized what had happened while he was speaking to bureau employees in Los Angeles and news flashed on the screen behind him. He initially thought it was a funny prank. But that prank turned out to be entirely genuine. more here
McCabe? Cornyn? I’ve got to believe we can do better. And I’m not thinking Gowdy.
What Joe said. I’d like to see someone with a military back ground in that position.
All the never Trump crowd AND the journolistos are pushing Mike Rogers.
That is a CLUE.
Garcia has a good record so I think he’s be a good choice and if not him then Alice Fisher. Not way for either Cornyn or McCabe.
Politico? Do you notice 3 of the 4 are democrat darlings?
