White House officials looking for a new FBI director to replace James Comey have reset their search.

President Trump fired Comey earlier this month, and a White House team began conducting a search for a candidate to take his place. Among the candidates was former Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, who was the reported front-runner.




quote:

Trump said last week he was "very close" to choosing Comey's replacement but the president has since said he wanted to see a "broader range" of candidates for the job, a senior administration official told CNN


quote:

Lieberman works for the same law firm as Marc Kasowitz, the lawyer Trump is expected to hire to serve as his outside counsel during the FBI and congressional inquiries into his campaign's ties to Russia.

But the administration official told CNN that Trump's hiring of Kasowitz didn't have any impact on the search for a new FBI director.

Among those interviewed for the job were acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, former Rep. Mike Rogers and Fran Townsend, a former Homeland Security adviser to President George W. Bush.





Trump needs to appoint a no nonsense law and order Director with a strong stance on immigration.

Please explain what role the FBI plays in immigration, other than performing background checks.

How about Lloyd Blankfein? Everyone else from Goldman Sachs is employed by Trump.

In case you didn't know, accurate background checks are kind of important considering things that have been happening globally

I hope Trump hires someone that is very non partisan, gets approved easily, assumes office then blows up the Muh Russians BS and indicts people surrounding Obamagate and Hillary emails.

The FBI Director's stance on immigration isn't relevant to anything.

Honestly, we need an FBI Director who has not been in Washington before. Someone who owes no one any allegiances and will come in and go after politicians who are abusing their positions.

Such a person would likely never get approved by the Senate.

Good. I would actually be okay with Joe Lieberman in some spots, but he's not a good fit for FBI Director. Wrong resume.
