Perhaps the "good info" he has on Mike Rodgers is compromising enough that he can use/control him because he has learned the hard way he can never trust the FBI no matter who is in charge.
It's just a thought and probably totally off the mark
But when you can not find anyone who is both capable AND that you can trust you may have to settle for someone capable you can control
Trusting the FBI has proved to be a bad idea. The department of "control files" which has been in place since Hoover set up the FBI perhaps needs more than a little control itself using technics that they refined to a nasty art. You can't be having FBI directors that can't be fired which is what we've had. When a president is impeached merely for firing a FBI director that has to be a wake up. (perhaps that is not the reason they used to impeach but firing Comey set off a shit storm that was quite an unpleasant spectacle. You'd think he fired a king or something rather than a deep state grunt).
You're absolutely right. Here's the top example of that. I was an early supporter of DJT for the 2016 election and James Comey was then the FBI Director. During the summer of 2016, Omar Mateen murdered 49 people and wounded 53 more in a nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Comey made some public statement about the FBI doing "its job" well in the case, but I could tell that Comey was lying. (I'm a professional investigator and observing "tells" when people lie are second nature to me.)
After my armchair investigation, I found that the FBI not only had been watching Mateen for years before the mass murders, but when he went to a gun store to buy the weapons and gear to prep for his mass murders, the gun store reported him to the FBI because they didn't think Mateen was trying to buy the weapons for self-defense or hunting. (Of course, they didn't sell anything to him either). The FBI visited the gun store but did nothing and let Mateen carry out his mass murders.
Later, when the phony DOJ tried to go after Mateen's wife, it came out that Mateen's father had been an FBI informant for years! The case against Mateen's wife fell apart as it became clear that the FBI was far more culpable in the mass murders than Mateen's wife could possibly be.
I wrote an article about the FBI's complicity in the case and specifically cited James Comey as culpable not only in the mass murders but in the cover up of the FBI's involvement in the case. I felt so strongly about what a danger Comey was that I wrote to DJT, his sons, Rudy Giuliani, and others, urging that Comey be fired and then investigated from day one, should DJT become elected President. Unfortunately, President Trump ignored my adivce and permitted Comey to remain in power. Comey promptly went to work to destroy DJT's Presidency and America from within! President Trump cannot afford to make such a terrible mistake again. And Comey should still be prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned.
James Feldman for assistant FBI director! All good information. I wish that the DJT team had listened to you back in 2016. I hope that all of the files are opened, and cover-ups exposed. And agree that "looming doofus" (as Col. Schlichter called him) Comey should be imprisoned.
Don’t like the idea of Mike Rogers as FBI director. What is Trumps reason for choosing him?
