A former Justice Department official has withdrawn her name from consideration to replace former FBI Director James Comey, according to multiple reports.

Former Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush, has removed herself from the White House’s shortlist, CNN and Fox News each reported Wednesday.

Trump has been holding interviews to replace Comey since he dropped the bombshell news last week that he had fired the bureau chief.

The president pledged Saturday that he would move quickly to name a new FBI director, suggesting he would name a new bureau chief before leaving for his first foreign trip this Friday.

[underpants]

2. Why won't you come aboard our fantastic boat?

[mhw]

[mhw]

At this rate he'll be down to Kid Rock or Toby Keith

Toby Keith Is Joining Trump In Saudi Arabia For A Men-Only Concert

Perfect choice to politicize everything

[classykaren]

20. Maybe Hulk Hogan.

[nycbos]

6. I saw this comment somewhere regarding the failure of the first health bill

but it fits here too.

No one wants to be king Henry VIII next wife.

[Jacquette]

7. Lol maybe they think

They'll be the last Katherine.

[Skittles]

8. the only real requirement for that job

is sworn loyalty to the orange Twitler (promise to derail the Russia thing)

with Mueller onboard, that will be a hard sell

any competent person would have nothing to do with that position

[charlyvi]

9. That means Joe Lieberman will probably take it.

A little Joementum is exactly what Trump* needs right now! Bwahaha

[airmid]

17. How can that be? Lieberman has been one of Trump's lawyers for years!

[charlyvi]

18. He works in the law firm that represents Trump*

I don't know if he is his lawyer specifically; but he would most likely quit the law firm if he was appointed FBI Director. Or not. Who knows! We've been through the looking glass for a while.

[barbtries]

10. hee hee

he's got a taint on him now and it's only getting worse.

[Skittles]

11. is Trump Taint orange too?

[barbtries]

21. lol

yuck

[NBachers]

12. Nobody wants to catch Trump and entourage's cooties.

[orangecrush]

13. Career killer

[TNNurse]

14. Siily me

I thought someone who heads the FBI should have worked there. You know like the president should have had a government job first.

[iluvtennis]

19. Who would want to a boss who will throws you under the bus and never takes ownership for anything

[Orsino]

22. He was gonna resort to appointing a chick?

I would assume that Trump won't trust a woman with a different last name. If this means that the available men have already turned him down, good.

Trump fired Comey without a replacement lined up, is what this confirms, and it points even more strongly to a panicked president.
