Trump's continued search for new FBI chief seen as chaotic: sources

[DemocratSinceBirth]

President Donald Trump is still looking for a new FBI director more than three weeks after he fired James Comey, and sources familiar with the recruiting process say it has been chaotic and that job interviews led by Trump have been brief.

Three close associates of three contenders for the job, all of whom have been interviewed by Trump, said the candidates were summoned to the White House for 10- to 20-minute conversations with Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Those conversations, which followed initial interviews at the Justice Department, have been light on questions about substantive issues facing the agency, the three associates said.

While the department has compiled a long list of candidates for the White House, there has been no “clear framework or logic for who was interviewed and why,” said one of the sources.

Another of the three sources described the process as chaotic and said that in one interview, Trump spoke mostly about himself and seemed distracted.

The White House declined to comment on the nature of the interview process. Spokesman Sean Spicer said on Friday that Trump continues to meet with candidates but would not give a timeline for choosing a nominee.

Anybody who takes the job has to take it with the knowledge Trump and Sessions will ask him or her to break the law.

3. Anybody who takes the job has to take it with the knowledge Trump and Sessions

will one day betray him.

Indeed, the new FBI director will be forced to operate under the cloud that he could be fired for any reason, the victim of Trump’s capricious delusion and paranoia.
