So the deplorables on Twitter are pushing for Trey Gowdy as head of FBI....

Dems have to fight his tooth and nail!! Their second choice is that crazy sherrif what's his name. Most would be happy w either but it looks like Trey is their number one pick.

Also some talking head said Sessions is working on the lest of names?!?!sessions who lied to the senate? Nope!

Twitter rumor is he will be new head of FBI, and will reopen Hillary's email investigation.

top cop. He'd be a disaster running a nationwide law enforcement/intelligence organization.

Also, a guy died of THIRST in his jail.

He also spent time in Russia--probably acting as a courier.

Many of the staff and agents are seriously pissed with this and how it was executed by the idiots in this maladministration.

They've got to find someone who won't make the Senate vomit.

It's a challenge unless they go with a career individual.

But I do suspect they want to try to slide Giuliani in there--he's RIGHT NOW at the Trump Hotel in Washington DC.

I doubt he'd ever make it past the confirmation, tho.

Whoever Trump chooses, you can guarantee it'll be a rabid Sec. Clinton hater, who will go after her.
