Who should Trump appoint as new FBI Director?
On Saturday, the Cheeto-in-Chief interviewed eight candidates to replace James Comey as FBI Director. These were the interviewees:
Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe
Attorney Alice Fisher
U.S. Senator John Cornyn of Texas
NY Appeals Court Judge Michael Garcia
FBI Agent in Charge of the Richmond, VA office Adam Lee
Federal Appeals Court Judge Henry Hudson
Former homeland security advisor Frances Townsend
Former Michigan congressperson Mike Rogers
Eight individuals with obvious qualifications for the position. However, given 45's lack of qualification for his job, perhaps he should be considering other candidates. Unfortunately, the perfect choice is not available:
Actor Efrem Zinbalist, Jr. came into our homes every Sunday night on ABC portraying FBI Special Agent Lewis Erskine. Sadly, he passed away in 2014 at the age of 95 so he isn't available for the job. Compared to the Cheeto-in-Chief's qualifications for his current job, this man is eminently qualified to be FBI Director.
That is a photo of the late Steven Hill portraying FBI Director F. Denton Voyles in the 1993 film "The Firm." Hill spent ten seasons as the Manhattan District Attorney on "Law & Order" as well. Clearly an excellent candidate had he not died last year.
James Sikking also portrayed the John Grisham version of FBI Director F. Denton Voyles in a 1993 movie, this one being "The Pelican Brief" which starred Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington. Mr. Sikking is 83 now but his experience as an FBI Director and as "Lieutenant Howard Hunter" on "Hill Street Blues" makes him a strong candidate to be Trump's choice.
Perhaps 45 will become the first president to put a woman into the job of FBI Director. There is a woman who has made it clear she is a Republican and she has experience as an Assistant District Attorney who later became an Assistant United States Attorney on "Law & Order" and would later move into a job as a homicide detective in Boston. Perhaps if 45 year old Angie Harmon wants the job, she should attach this pic to her resume:
Another woman who has TV law enforcement experience, and is reputed to share some of 45's conservative values should also be in the mix.
Hey, she was the Sheriff.
One of the issues involving the firing of James Comey is the allegation that 45 asked him to pledge his loyalty to Mr. Trump. I can think of one man who would probably be willing to do that, who had a career in actual law enforcement for almost 50 years. And, he's a Republican.
However, former L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca's current status as a convicted felon makes him ineligible for the job.
Feel free to suggest other candidates. The Cheeto-in-Chief has indicated he will announce a selection by the end of next week.
