President Donald Trump is seeking new candidates to replace fired FBI Director James Comey, broadening the search after at least two rounds of interviews with more than ten contenders for the post, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

Administration sources had previously described former Sen. Joe Lieberman as the leading prospect for the high-profile job, but he ran into resistance from Democrats who questioned the wisdom of installing a former politician as FBI director, particularly as the agency grapples with a politically sensitive probe into possible ties between Russia and Trump’s presidential campaign.

   Maybe someone will come along shortly and explain why everyone seems to be turning down this position.
   Perhaps no one wants to be put in the position of Investigating their Boss and getting Comeyized, whether he deserves it or not, the MSM/Dems are going to continue to demand it.  He certainly needs a strong ally over there now.

Speaking of, I once had Acts and Romans on cassette that were narrated by Ephraim Zimbalist, Jr.  He did an awesome job.
