BREAKING: Joe Lieberman No Longer Being Considered to Lead the FBI

The Trump administration is not going to offer up former Senator Joe Lieberman as the replacement for Jim Comey to head up the FBI.

In fact, they’re starting over, completely:

Joe Lieberman no longer being considered for FBI director. President's team has hit the restart button on the search for a new FBI Director

The news is welcome. Lieberman has no law enforcement experience. He’s been a politician since first being elected in 1970 to the Connecticut Senate. His work at a private law firm since 2013 would no doubt come under intense scrutiny.

Trump has to choose a non-political person. It has to be somebody with a law enforcement background for Trump to keep Democrats in line.
