"Expected Pick" FBI Director Joe Lieberman. Kinda rolls off the tongue, don't it? DRAIN THE SWAMP!



Trump expected to pick Joe Lieberman as FBI director: White House sources

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/trump-expected-to-pick-joe-lieberman-as-fbi-director-white-house-sources/

President Donald Trump is expected to pick former Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman as the new director of the FBI.

According to Politico, senior officials in the Trump administration have told sources in the last 12 hours that Lieberman is Trump’s top choice to replace former FBI Directory James Comey.

A person familiar with Wednesday’s meeting said Trump bonded with Lieberman, and the president left leaning towards the former Connecticut senator, who retired in 2013. Trump has not signaled otherwise that anyone else is the favorite, aides said, and has told one adviser he wants to make an announcement before he leaves Friday on his first foreign trip.

Update: Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs has also reported that Lieberman is Trump’s first choice.

You don't say.

Hey, any Dem is a good Dem right? That's the important thing?


And in case it wasn't clear......

he met with trump for less than 30 minutes and tada, he's FBI Director?

Talk about half-assing it.

I hope the Dems don't confirm. Make the repukes go it alone.

If he's there it's to end the Russian investigation. Can hear him now coming out saying let's move on from this.

The tulsa world, that Frank 'the fuck' Keating, former Oklahoma governor, is also in the running. He used to be an FBI agent for a short time years ago. Keating is not to be trusted under any circumstances on any fucking day.
