Vance says he’s met prospective FBI director candidates with Trump

Vice President-elect JD Vance (R-Ohio) revealed the Trump team is interviewing candidates to lead the FBI, a sign of plans to boot current Director Christopher Wray.

Vance’s comments came amid a spat on social platform X as he faced criticism for missing a Senate vote in which a judicial nominee of President Biden was approved.

What should be the lead story today on every network is that the former Deputy Director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe said he thinks Donald Trump is a Russian asset. - Jack Hopkins

Trump’s Pick For Solicitor General Argues Presidential Immunity Covers Assassinating Rivals

Trump’s Pick For Solicitor General Argues Presidential Immunity Covers Assassinating Rivals
President-elect Donald Trump nominated Dean John Sauer to be solicitor general on Thursday. Sauer made headlines earlier in the year as he was the attorney who argued that a president could not be criminally prosecuted for ordering SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent – at least not until he was impeached and convicted in the U.S. Senate.

After watching his picks, I clearly understand how he bankrupted those casinos.

WSJ Doesn't Like Matt Gaetz. Yawn.

A new report from The Wall Street Journal paints a bleak picture of Matt Gaetz’s chances of being confirmed as attorney general.

President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Gaetz — who has no judicial or prosecutorial experience — for the powerful post on Wednesday, and Gaetz quickly resigned from his seat in Congress days before the release of a House Ethics Committee report into allegations that he “engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, accepted improper gifts, dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship, and sought to obstruct government investigations of his conduct.”

Dear Merrick Garland,
