Title: The replacements: Who will be the next FBI director?
Post by: Ms.Independence on May 10, 2017, 04:53:34 PM
Any thoughts?  I don't particularly like Giuliani or Christie, but I do think they would serve well as the FBI director.  Definitely not Gowdy ... he has proven to be inept at investigating.

John Pistole--- Pence is his buddy and Appears to be well qualified

Personally I like Trey Gowdy and would probably put him #2 from your list

Definitely, Trey Gowdy, get his ass out of Congress and elect a real Conservative in his place. He's one of those scum bags that rode the TEA wave to get elected then instantly latched onto the Establishment, just like they planned.

He's a fine prosecutor, a lousy Congressman!

If Sessions does want to relook at Hillary and the Clinton Foundation Gowdy Knows were a lot of bones are buried. The Obama admin did a great job stonewalling the congressional investigations but with the support of the DOJ, the FBI and without the obstruction of the Dims on his committees Gowdy could have all the answers in pretty short order!

That so called obstruction could have been quashed in a heart beat by Congress, but the Establishment didn't want to.
We all know why, so don't expect shit from Gowdy if he is appointed, he's the perfect pit bull/lap dog of the Establishment.

Trump is in a no win situation here. Unless he appoints someone the democrats like they are going to throw a tantrum and try and block any and all legislation. So it's really on the shoulders of McConnell which is much like putting the community pool in the hands of a lifeguard who is afraid of water. So, go for broke, appoint the right guy and ram it down their throats.

What about Ray Kelly? I am inclined to believe Trump will go non political.

His hands are tied and he knows it. When they slapped him in the most public manner possible by telling him, you don't get to fulfill your main campaign promise of building a wall, he knew he had to do as he was told.
It didn't matter who won, even Cruz would have been dealing with their shit.
The Marxists in the GOP are in power. That's who the real enemy is, our very own party, so if Trump wants to accomplish anything, he needs their approval.

Trump's only real ally is the Freedom Caucus, if he were as smart as he claims, he'd go straight to the people and tell it like it is, tell Congress that he'll campaign against the establishment hacks in the GOP come Midterm. Oh wait, he already did that, problem is, it was against the Conservatives in the party, not the RINO.
So tell red, why did Trump attack the very people that got him elected?

The Senate didn't like Comey either, they were just foaming at the mouth hoping that he was close to uncovering something to indicate Trump colluding with Russia, but Trump will have a battle on his hands regardless of who he picks.  Can't he use the nuclear option on this?

It is a presidential appointment so Harry Reid's nuclear option is already in play.

Good.  Apparently there's now a 'short list' of 11 candidates.  I'm not familiar with most of them.  It would be nice to see Cronyn gone which means one less RINO in the Senate, but not so sure I want him directing the FBI.

The problem with Cronyn is the very slim majority for control of the senate. I don't see them picking a sitting senator at this time

Cronyn's  seat would remain republican in all likely hood. Of course I am guessing the special election would be held with the 2018 midterms for the remaining Cornyn's term. With all state offices up for election and Cruz up for reelection conservatives should be out to vote. If Cornyn does get picked, I wonder if whoever runs for his seat will run as someone who will back Trump or as someone who will fight Trump. Either way, I do not see Trump as having any coattails for anybody to ride on. Not here anyway.

None of them

With all due respect there are some good names on that list but WE NEED A REAL COP in the FBI, not another round of lawyer's and politicians. THATS THE PROBLEM.

I know a few retired FBI agents, and even a few active duty agents, they all say the same thing: Comey transformed the FBI into a bunch of political Eunichs doing the bidding of the DemoRAT party. Internally the FBI is a divided camp where no one is allowed to do real investigative work Just look at the headlines. It is Trump and the Russians This, Trump campaign and the Russian something else.....blah blah blah.

IS ANY OF THIS EVEN A CRIME?  Hell no.

In the meantime when the FBI is running around chasing non existant Russian ghosts, criminal gangs like MS-13, Latin Kings, are committing violent crimes in every major US city. They have transformed Northern Virginia and Maryland suburbs into some sort of guerilla war zone. Then there are the Narco terrorist cartels, the drug trafficking networks that benefit from the open borders and LEGALIZED MARIJUANA Legalization policies of leftist states.

Then of course there are those fun loving Muzzies who have terror training camps in how many States? (Including several in Virginia) you can't surveill a mosque full of anti American Imams talking about killing infidels but you can damn sure devote all the energies of the letter agencies to make sure no one at Trump tower is talking to the Russian ambassador or some such nonsense.

Then we have our domestic terrorists like BLM who advocate killing police and are implicated in how many attacks on law enforcement officers INCLUDING the FBI.

We need a kick your ass COP to head the FBI and get them back into the business of cross border law enforcement against CRIMINAL GANGS, Organized crime and the tens of thousands of imported terrorists and criminals who are the REAL THREAT to our domestic security.

WE NEED SHERIFF DAVID CLARK or we need JOE APRAIO, either of whom would set the Dem party's heads on fire and get a Law Enforcement agency back into the business of Law enforcement.

Rant over.

Problem is that one seat being open at all. Some of the appointments and legislation that will be coming up is to important to jeopardize the slime majority they hold now! With the Dim's slow walking in lockstep anything the republicans are pushing giving up any senate seat at this time would be a recipe for disaster. McCain would just love it making his vote that much more necessary we would be seeing his fingerprint all over everything coming out of the senate!

That's just it, Cornyn is much more rino than conservative. He has enough basics like against abortion, pro 2nd amendment, ect...  to keep getting elected but that is not making progress. We would have a chance of having TWO senators from Texas that were conservative. Just really do not see a democrat standing a chance any time soon.

I'd rather have a lib in his seat than that traitorous RINO. You know you're a lib when even Factcheck.org goes to bat for you. :lol:

Seriously, check out this article, where they actually try and build a case for him over his Conservative challenger back in 2010.

How 'Liberal' Is Sen. Cornyn?
By   Brooks JacksonPosted on December 11, 2013
Republican Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas says he's running against Sen. John Cornyn in the state's 2014 primary because the incumbent is a backstabbing "liberal" who only votes with Republicans "temporarily" when an election approaches. But Cornyn's voting record shows otherwise.
Actually, Cornyn is rated among the most conservative of all senators, and for years he's voted in line with fellow Republican senators more often than all but a few of his GOP colleagues.
In a "Dear Patriot" fundraising letter posted on Stockman's campaign website Dec. 10, the congressman began: "You are in a foxhole fighting to save our constitutional Republic ... ... and the last thing you need is a Republican bayonet in your back."
'Liberal' Cornyn?
The phrase "liberal John Cornyn" appears 20 times in the text of the letter and in the headline as well, as though constant repetition would make it true. For example, he says, "liberal John Cornyn is now doing what he always does, spending four years voting like a Democrat, then spending the two years before an election pretending to be Republican." The sentence is underlined for emphasis, in the breathless style used by partisan fundraising appeals.
