#1 'Highly professional, Non-Partisan' law enforcement organization urges selection of 'Political Appointee?'

#2 Translation - "this one we can manage"?

#3 In other words, they have something on him to force compliance.

#4 This organization is a pro-Employee style union that supports agents regardless of their failures for the most part. Therefore their members come first, the American citizen, second and their dislike of the President is clearly evident.

Even though Rogers has several planks on the right as his platform, when it comes time to make hard decisions he compromises too much with the Democrats. In other words he is all talk when it comes to what the right wants to hear but at 1am of an all night marathon legislative session when the final vote is taken, he chokes and compromises too much with the hard nose Democrats.

#5 This Judicial Watch piece may help explain my angst with Rogers.

A snippet from the article is found below. Don't neglect the closing paragraph:

” In interviews Rogers “downplayed” the testimony CIA contractors gave in closed session, Lake noted, and has said he did not believe the CIA had stonewalled his committee. Lake reported that “the chairmen of the House Intelligence, Armed Services, and Government Reform committees — Reps. Rogers, Buck McKeon, and Darrell Issa, respectively — all opposed the formation of a select committee on Benghazi.”

Rogers is a plankholder in the Washington 'swamp.' If he is confirmed as Director, any hope (however distantly remote) of bringing the Hildebeest to justice will be dashed.

#6 Sure wish they'd state what principles the FBI is supposed to exemplify. I haven't seen any since the days when Whitey Bulger was ruling over Boston.

#7 2013: Rogers' wife, Kristi Clemens Rogers, was, until recently, the president and CEO of Aegis LLC a "security" defense contractor company, whom she helped to secure a $10 billion (with a b) contract with the State Department. The company describes itself as "a leading private security company, provides government and corporate clients with a full spectrum of intelligence-led, culturally-sensitive security solutions to operational and development challenges around the world."

#8 What does anyone think/know about Ray Kelly, registered Independent and former Comish of NYPD as head of FBI? I heard him suggested as a good choice.

#9 I'd really like a "partisan" pick here. I want Trump to know well in advance what he's getting.
