Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers identified as possible pick for FBI Director

A White House official says Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers is on the short list for nominees to be the next FBI Director.

Senator Cory Gardner sent out a tweet Friday morning that reads, "Colorado's John Suthers would be an excellent choice to lead the FBI. I recommended him to the WH & am excited to see his name on this list."

In response to inquiries about the development, Suther's office sent the following statement, "While I am honored to be listed as a possibility among some tremendous law enforcement professionals, at this point it would be premature to comment any further."

I knew him slightly. He took over a US Attorney in Colorado about 6 months before I retired. He seemed a fair enough guy then, but I wasn't around long enough to develop a firm opinion.

You don't get the job, if you don't stop the Russian investigation. Trump shouldn't be allowed to pick the new Director while he's under investigation

Have you, or will you ever, swear loyalty to Donald Trump. Under oath, please.

Especially now, last person who should be in charge of FBI is a career politician.
