Nix on the Lieberman Pick, Mister President

Former Democrat turned Independent U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman is the front-runner for FBI Director. BBC News:
US President Donald Trump has said he could announce a replacement for former FBI director James Comey as early as this week, and former Senator Joe Lieberman was among his top choices.
[.]
[Lieberman], 75, is a Democrat-turned-Independent who endorsed John McCain in 2008 and Hillary Clinton in 2016. He was the Democratic vice-presidential candidate on the 2000 ticket with Al Gore. Mr Lieberman lost the Democratic primary in 2006 but kept his seat as an "independent Democrat" in the general election.
No.

No, no, no...Mr. President, no. Why would you do this?

What qualifies him for an Intelligence job, one of the most important jobs in Intelligence?  His long history in politics as a Senator? As a VP candidate where his party lost? As a Hillary Clinton loyalist?

He supported Hillary Clinton in last year's presidential election. That alone disqualifies him, unless...unless in Trump's Grand Plan is to eventually turn Lieberman loose on prosecuting Hillary, but can anyone really see Lieberman doing this? Not going to happen.

I don't want this to sound like I'm an ageist, but can't we find someone under the age of...oh...say...65...or 60...that is qualified to run the FBI?

McCain and Lieberman












Consider the following, from CNN:
Former Vice Presidential candidate Joe Lieberman came to the defense of his former colleague Senator John McCain for his criticism of the raid in Yemen. Lieberman said in a fight between McCain and just about anybody else [ That means you, President Trump. - DD ] he would side with the war hero.
McCain is always on the lookout for some way in which he can criticize Trump.

Here is how Lieberman voted  on several bills. Note, he received 100% approval from NARAL.

Remember, The Left considered Lieberman not Liberal enough, ousted him from the party and replaced him with multi-multi millionaire Ned Lamont.

The Left hated Lieberman and attacked him mercilessly.

I like Joe Lieberman, I never would have voted for him had I lived in Connecticut, and I always thought he seems to be a decent man among the usual collection of perverted politicians. I don't think he's qualified to be running the FBI.
