Obama to Pick Former Bush Official to Lead F.B.I.

[okaawhatever]

132. Rachel showed his testimony before congress and explained the Ashcroft hospital room incident. He

created the situation, he wasn't there as a spectator. When Ashcroft was sick he was acting atty general. The spooky types in the Bush admn came to him to certify that the wiretapping program was legal. He said, "not only no, but heellll no". He found out that Card and company went to Ashcroft's hospital room (how f-ed is that?) to either get it certified or get Ashcroft to pressure Comey. Comey found out and met them there for a showdown. He said he'd resign if Ashcroft certified it, and Ashcroft backed off. Comey went to the white house and talked to Bush and apparently Bush changed the program (or maybe stopped it). After he left that job, he hasn't been involved in politics (the gop think he's a traitor). I don't think for a second Comey is a pick to appease the right. He is a middle finger to the right. They think Comey's a traitor, how is it not awesome that he's now going to have the job the gop wouldn't give him in a million years after he stood up to Bush et al. Plus, he supported gay marriage when no one was looking so he clearly isn't as republican as most these days. Who knows, maybe Obama will turn him. We've had a little of that lately. lol

I don't support appointing republicans, but this guy does have experience in the position and is a slap in the face to the bushies. Heck, maybe Obama will get Comey to tell him all the dirt on Bush.
