Bloomberg: Lieberman is now #1 choice for FBI Director

As much as some people don't like him, he's still a mainstream Democrat, and may want to bring a measure of repute back to the Bureau.

1. No politicians

2. Lieberman

stopped being a Democrat years ago. Now he is just a right wing stooge. I doubt neither the GOP nor the Democratic party will want to approve him.

3. He's senior counsel at the Trump Organization's primary law firm.

And he's not a mainstream Democrat, having endorsed John McCain in 2008 and refused to endorse Obama in 2012.

Completely unacceptable.

6. Oh great, a Trump lawyer for FBI director?

That makes sense for trump, not for the FBI.

17. So he has already taken the oath of loyalty.

That'll save time.

4. Does Joe have enough cojones to tell him he will not

pledge his personal loyalty? He's been a McCain bootlicker for so long and is probably missing a bromance. I dunno if he is the answer or not.

5. Many will disagree with you

I am not sure I would agree about him being a mainstream dem.

He was very centrist and finished his career as an independent.

Yes he was a VP candidate but I think he was a terrible choice. He was a big problem in the early days of Obama when we should have had a super majority in the senate.

No thanks. I will pass.

7. remember when there was a lieberman support group on DU?

12. there's still one for Lincoln Chafee nt

8. Lieberman's a spiteful little man

who stopped being the half-assed Democrat that he was when Ned Lamont beat him in a primary. That was 11 years ago.

11. Lieberman switched to being an Independent long ago, to run against the Democrat. n/t

[brooklynite]

14. ...then organized with the Democrats and endorsed Hillary Clinton in 20q16.

[geek tragedy]

18. how many mainstream Democrats worked to defeat Obama and endorsed Betsy Devos?

Answer: ZERO.

[MineralMan]

13. Lieberman is NOT a mainstream Democrat. Never has been.

[PoliticAverse]

15. "he's still a mainstream Democrat" - missed when he went rogue, did you?...
