resident Obama will nominate former Deputy Attorney General James Comey to be the next director of the FBI, according to sources.
Comey is a Republican who served in the Justice Department under President George W. Bush, and is perhaps best known for his time as acting Attorney General, when he refused to certify parts of the National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance program.

You remember Comey – he of the
infamous scramble to get to John Ashcroft in the hospital.
In the long run, it doesn't seem to have mattered, but at the time, it was pretty exciting stuff.
I will pay top dollar for a ticket to Comey's confirmation hearings.

Yeah, I wonder. I don't have any idea how that might play out. Times are strange and everybody's got an angle.
