Trump Nominates Lawyer To Lead FBI (bbc.com)
President Donald Trump announced via Twitter on Wednesday that he has chosen a new FBI director. Trump says he's nominating Christopher A. Wray for the position. He described Wray as "a man of impeccable credentials." From a report: Donald Trump says he is nominating lawyer Christopher A Wray who served under George W Bush. Wray more recently represented the New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, during the investigation into the George Washington Bridge lane-closing case, in which two of Christie's former aides were convicted of plotting to close lanes of the bridge to punish a Democratic mayor who wouldn't endorse the governor. Christie, who has informally advised the president, was not charged in the case.
Wray would succeed James Comey, whom Trump fired last month amid mounting scrutiny of ties between his campaign and Russia. The announcement comes a day ahead of Comey's scheduled appearance before the Senate intelligence committee on Thursday where he is expected to touch on his firing and claims that Trump asked him to soft-pedal the investigation into former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.

I have had liberals threaten to shoot me here on /., and then threaten to sue me because they were so distraught for threatening to shoot me.
Glad I always post AC, I could easily believe they would call your work if they could track you down.
Now I see why they badger people for posting AC. They want a way to track you down and ruin your life. Sad.
Make America break again
Name these people, please.
Flynn, for starters.
Those sound like facts. You're going to have to do better than that here,
What do Trump and his father have in common?
Both have bad judgement when it comes to pulling out.
At least he has not appointed to his horse.
I think you're underestimating the Strong Misanthropic Principle that got him elected in the first place.
