Among the names being bruited about as possible choices for the job of FBI director are Rudolph Giuliani, former mayor of New York City, and Chris Christie, soon to be an ex-governor of New Jersey.
Both are early and avid supporters of the current president. Giuliani is out of a job in government, and Christie soon will be. But while both are lawyers and former prosecutors, neither has experience in the purely investigative work of an agency like the FBI.
The major quality they do have is intense loyalty to Donald Trump. That may be enough for the president, but that won't fit with the traditions of FBI agents.
Larry, Moe and Curly were good for laughs in their Hollywood heyday, but picking a stooge for one of the most important positions in American law enforcement is no laughing matter.
