Its time for a real change. Sally Yates should be the new director of the FBI. RT if you agree.

(2,944 posts)3. I'm with you all the way but seeing that there's never been a director of the FBI who
was a democrat I'd say her chances are slim to none. Even D presidents choose R FBI Directors. WTF!!!

she'd be a great choice

(35,932 posts)8. All of the above. It's time. She'll work circles around that boyz club.

(6,791 posts)9. She turned down a Senate nomunation.
If she were to also turn down this nomination, what about Alexander Vindman?

(32,577 posts)10. I believe that was for Dept. of Justice ... Am I right?
She turned down either Attorney General, or Assistant AG, I believe.
The FBI Director is a different position. It's meant to be independent of Presidential politics, and the appointment is usually for 10 years.
soldierant
(6,791 posts)12. Not exactly.
There was a push from Democrats in Georgia to encourage her to run for one of those two Senate seats - I think the one Ossoff won, but it doesn't matter - she absolutely refused even to consider it.
FakeNoose
(32,577 posts)13. Yes she definitely will not run for elected office
wnylib
(21,335 posts)11. Works for me. I think she
would be great. She would bring education, experience, independence, and character strength the job.
