Would the Senate consent to Lieberman as FBI director at this time?

He doesn't seem to have the qualified background for this job. Given that Comeys & Muellers senate votes were more then 90 votes in approval, they had widespread approval, Lieberman looks toxic.

I have no source for this, I saw a tweet about Lieberman being in the final 3 candidates.

that seems to mean little to Repubs, though. He'd get more Repub votes than Dem votes, for sure.
