So does anyone want to be the new FBI director?
Apparently John Cornyn said thanks but no thanks (thank god for that by the way - the rumor here in Texas was that if Cornyn went to the FBI, Governor Abbott would have appointed Dan Patrick as Cornyn's replacement because he can't stand Patrick and wants him out of Austin - I don't agree with Cruz and Cornyn's politics but at least they're not certifiably insane like Patrick).

And now I've read that McConnell recommended Merrick Garland to Trump to be Comey's replacement (that fact alone deserves a separate thread!) but Garland also said he wasn't interested.

Garland was the original suggestion from McConnell and a few others, simply because he wanted Trump to take it, garland to accept it.. and then see the Democrats go nuts trying to say how Garland was good enough to be a SC nominee, but not the head of the FBI.

Nobody political wants it (and Garland has become a political figure whether he likes it or not). They know it would be an impossible job unless they are viewed as separate from the political fray. Gowdy has said no as well.

Nobody wants to work for a Russian agent who will throw you under a bus.

You keep forgetting! The Clintons lost. And the Clintons don't personally murder people. They hire professionals. Maybe even Russians!04-cheers

"...Spicer, who was aboard Air Force One with Trump, said the president would meet with acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating, former Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman and former senior FBI official Richard McFeely...."

Keating is 73.
Lieberman is 75.

So are they setting up for McFeely?

I hope that whoever is nominated refuses to answer any questions during the confirmation hearing that would relate to any cases they may oversee. Do a full Ginsberg.

And when Franken asks a question, respond with: "Senator, you're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you but I'm not answering your inappropriate question."

Well if they're competent, they'll be treated fairly and respectfully. If they're an incompetent hack whose sole purpose is to get his "TV-tapin' time", like Comey, then they'll get the same treatment Comey got.

It's so simple even a 3-year old could figure it out.

I'll take the job just to get my hands on all of the FBI testing data for the force wide switch from .40 back to 9mm.

The .40 is a "Hallmark" load ... when you care enough to send the very best. 04-rock

The 9mm is a glorified .38 and we know what they say about the .38 ...

Works at Trump's law firm. He's the new guy.

The Dems are going to rake him over the coals in the confirmation hearings.

Joe had the magic D behind his name when he was in the Senate. He'll get lobbed batting practice.

Pure obstructionist. No positive message from dems. No reason to vote for them. Keep pissing off moderates. Everyday the reason Trump won slaps dems in the mouth and they still dont get it.

He endorsed W in 04. He basically works for Trump now. The D's will have their knifes out for him.
