I don’t mean to sound like a d*ck, but your interviewing a dozen people to run the FBI(!), don’t ya think making a decision within a week is rather quick considering the importance of the position – PK/TK
A packed day of interviews could lead to ‘a fast decision’ on the next FBI director – By Callum Borchers, Matt Zapotosky / May 14 2017
President Trump said that he could have a new FBI director in place before he departs for his first overseas trip Friday, an ambitious goal that would give him just a few days to fill one of the most important and sensitive posts in government.
“Even that is possible,” the president said aboard Air Force One when asked whether he might make a selection before leaving for Saudi Arabia, Israel and the Vatican.
Trump briefly addressed journalists before flying to Lynchburg, Va., where he delivered a commencement speech at Liberty University. Justice Department officials spent the day conducting the first interviews for candidates to replace James B. Comey, whom Trump fired Tuesday.
Eight contenders interviewed on Saturday, including Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.); acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe; Alice Fisher, a white-collar defense lawyer who previously led the Justice Department’s criminal division; Michael J. Garcia, a judge on the New York State Court of Appeals who previously served as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York; Adam S. Lee, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Richmond field office; U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson, who presides over the Eastern District of Virginia; Frances Townsend, a former Bush Homeland Security adviser; and former House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Rogers.
