Trump told us the other day that Joe Lieberman was a leading candidate for the FBI. But the interviews aren’t over and Reuters is reporting that Trump is interviewing another candidate soon for the position:
President Donald Trump is expected to interview John Pistole, the former head of the Transportation Security Administration, to replace James Comey as head of the FBI, USA Today reported on Tuesday.
Pistole, who served as deputy director of the FBI from 2004 to 2010, was to meet with the Republican president at the White House, the newspaper reported, citing a former colleague of Pistole.
Pistole would replace Comey, who was fired as he led an investigation into possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia to sway the 2016 presidential election.
I don’t know much about Pistole, but Ed Morrissey obviously believes he would be a solid choice for FBI Director:
Solid option. https://t.co/LUa0BG7jPe
