Who will Pres Hillary replace Comey with?

Just asking of possible choices since I do not know.

She has to replace Comey since he has violated any trust between himself & the President he will be called to serve.

Anyone know who may be a good replacement?
Thanks

Because he is the only one with balls enough to actually investigate Captain Crook Trump.

It has to be someone that is NOT a Republican this time.

And they need to clean house. Either reassign them or demote them. If it makes them quit so much the better.

And he will resign. And he already knows this. I suspect he has already drafted his resignation letter. He is just waiting to see who wins the election.

But no matter who wins, I predict that he is toast. When we have republicans horrified at the partisanship of the FBI, President Obama will have no qualms about asking for his resignation.

Obama said, in effect, (my paraphrase) "I understand why Director Comey thought he had to do this. I will not comment on any aspect of this publicly, and I most certainly will not give him a strong showing of support."

Obviously Obama cannot make a move before the election. By the same token, this guy has to go and it is not the prerogative of an incoming President to name a new FBI Director because Comey is confirmed for a 10-year term.

Most Republicans know Comey has to be fired. Even if they applauded this chicken-bleep move, they must understand that undermines the integrity of the FBI, and the Republicans are all about law and order, after all.

So Obama will call him into the Oval Office next week and spell it out. "Your actions have been reckless. You ignored the protocols that have been in place within the Justice Department for a very long time. Many Americans see your actions as a highly partisan act, and one that destroys your own ability to be effective in this job, not to mention irreparable damage to the FBI. You cannot continue in this job. You will give me your resignation now and I will accept it. Then we will go out there on the lawn together and I will publicly thank you for your service in this job. I have your resignation letter already prepared. Here's a pen for your signature."

I really think we need to call her President Clinton, with all the due respect she deserves.
