Trump announces FBI director pick via twitter

[K1052]

Former Bush DOJ official and more recently Chris Christie's Bridgegate lawyer. Looks like a stooge pick and reportedly not somebody that was recommended by Trump aides. Don't think the FBI will react well to this.

damn i was hoping it would be kushner

That's a quality stooge.



I'm sure he agreed to end these spurious investigations immediately.

 

[vi edit]

Most of the hard core anti-Trump sites/feeds are actually not riled up by this pick. This may be a high point in this Administration.

Upon review of his record he doesn't look terrible on the surface. Tho given Trump's track record there is always that question of if what his expectations are of how he will conduct himself and the agency wrt Trump and his circle.

Also this is the guy who made Christie's cell phone disappear during the Bridgegate investigation....

Difficult to judge based on background. I had expected some law enforcement experience to be really important to the job and a standard held by prior directors, but looking up Comey it seems that he had similar experience prior to taking the job.

What concerns me most is the number of people running away from the administration in the setting of accounts that Trump's requirement for nomination to any post is a pledge of fealty and that he sees positions outside of the executive as under him rather than independent. I have no knowledge of Wray being corrupt, but there is plenty to suggest corruption is Trump's main requirement.

Of course, there remains the possibility that someone would make false promises to appease Trump, but this is but easy for someone with a moral conscience to do -- part of why Trump's tactics are often "successful" -- he can operate on a different set of rules.

What I think is odd, although par for the course with this white house, is that Way is violation of the same ethics policy they tried to get Mueller on.

It goes without saying that anyone considered for this post has allready sworn loyalty to the D.

Pretty funny that the guy specializes in defending clients under federal investigation.

Wait. I thought all his surrogates said what he posts on social media isn't policy. It's irrelevant. They need to make up their minds. Either that or Trump just likes making everyone who looks for him look like idiots.

Not Spicer. He said yesterday that the President is the President and what he says is official policy.

Yup,
Trump nominates Chris Christies personal attorney, who happened to to represent Christie during the Bridgegate case. A case concerning misconduct, fraud conspiracy and general douchiness.
Classic

Yeah It was Gorka and Conway the day before who were blasting the media for even discussing what the President was tweeting. Gorka scolded Cuomo on the difference between policy and social media.

Any chance this guy blocks the Comey testimony with something along the lines of "I need to get up to speed on this investigation before we get to the testimony"?

What power would he have to do that?

Jesus, this guy does everything to Distract. I'm sure he woke up and though, what can I do to distract from Comey... Then decided to post this.

Expect nothing less from the Great Satan of charlatans.

I have no idea, that's why I am asking.

I hope nobody leaves him alone with Trump

If the man had impeccable credentials he wouldnt be working for Trump.
