"Any potential FBI director. . ."

Speaking of filling Comey's spot AND things getting worse, the NY Times says:

New pick for F.B.I. director is named

President Trump announced on Wednesday that he had selected Christopher Wray, a former federal prosecutor who is a partner at a Washington law firm, to lead the agency.

Mr. Wray was the government’s top criminal prosecutor in 2004 when the F.B.I. director, Robert S. Mueller III, and the deputy attorney general, James Comey, threatened to quit the Bush administration over a controversial surveillance program. He offered to join their protest.

BTW: That was posted prior to Mark Levin covering the Legal Insurrection article - written by a good lawyer.
Mark agreed.

He also brings up a good article I read earlier about the long history of BAD and MALICIOUS obstruction of justice cases brought by James Comey. Scooter Libby, Martha Stewart, Hatfield ... to name just a few of the HORRIBLE ABUSE OF GOVERNMENT POWER cases that James Comey instigated.

The Steven Hatfill (falsely-so-called-mr.anthrax) and
Frank Quattrone cases are especially abusive, and should have landed Comey in prison - or at least terminated his career and law license.

James Comey Has A Long History Of Questionable Obstruction Cases

From Martha Stewart to Frank Quattrone to Steven Hatfill, former FBI director James Comey has left a long trail of highly questionable obstruction of justice cases that he used to make a name for himself.

Longish article - well worth reading -briefly excerpted in this post ....

One of the few media outlets that has consistently expressed skepticism about Comey is the Wall Street Journal. When he was nominated by President Barack Obama to be FBI director in 2013, they presciently wrote a piece headlined, “The Political Mr. Comey: Obama’s FBI nominee has a record of prosecutorial excess and bad judgment.”( https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323728204578515650309268038 ) The article described even then Comey’s “media admirers” and a “media fan base” that refused to ask him tough questions. But the Journal had concerns:

Any potential FBI director deserves scrutiny, since the position has so much power and is susceptible to ruinous misjudgments and abuse. That goes double with Mr. Comey, a nominee who seems to think the job of the federal bureaucracy is to oversee elected officials, not the other way around, and who had his own hand in some of the worst prosecutorial excesses of the last decade.
