Following Donald Trump's sack of FBI director, James Comey of Tuesday, pundits are now speculating on likely names the resident could pick to replace the fired director.
Rudy Giuliani
Giuliani,
the former mayor of New York and United States Attorney for the
Southern District of New York, would likely be among Trump's top choices
for FBI director, given his loyalty to the President and law
enforcement background.
Andrew McCabe
McCabe
would likely be the easiest pick, given he is currently working as the
acting director of the FBI and had served as Comey's deputy since early
February 2016. He joined the FBI as a special agent in 1996 and has
since worked on a host of issues, including counterterrorism, national
security and interrogation.
Chris Christie
The
New Jersey governor was one of the first top flight Republicans to
endorse Trump during the 2016 campaign and stood by him during some of
the most trying times in his presidential campaign.
Trey Gowdy
Picking Rep. Trey Gowdy, the South Carolina Republican and former federal prosecutor, would electrify Trump's Republican base.
Ray Kelly
If
Trump considers Kelly, the former commissioner of the New York City
Police Department, it wouldn't be the first time the long-time New
Yorker was mentioned as a possible candidate for FBI director.
