    He is meeting with him, doesn't mean he is on the short list. Spicer may think he is.

    If this is not fakenews or Trump tease parading Lieberman like he did with Romney, do Trump people really think placing a neocon at this post would provide some shield against attacks from fakenews media?

    Well it might, but still it would be horrible idea if this is true.

    Sounds like Spicer was instructed to send up a trial balloon and see how people react.

    LOL @ an official statement from Press Secretary Sean Spicer as an 'anonymous source.' c'mon dude, you can do better than that.

    Politics is wrestling, these people are pretending to hate each other. Trump and the Deep state are on the same side against the people attacking and defending Trump. There will be no progress in the world until people realize this simple, obvious fact.

    There are different factions housed within the deep state. The ongoing assault on Trump illustrates this.

    Lets just assume you are correct, what makes you think Trump's deep state faction is any better for the average man than say a Clinton deep state faction? I think this is all a sick game put on to keep us invested in one of the 2 camps. I think the only winner would be the deep state who has 2 groups of passionate supporters cheering for their two biggest wrestling stars.

    This is why it is so annoying when you see a man like Amash(anti Trump derangement syndrome) and Napolitano (pro Trump kiss a** syndrome) buying into it.

    Well, maybe Donny just needs a "jew boy" on his side. After all, Nixon had Kissinger.



    Video Interview:


    Brian Lamb: Is it true that Richard Nixon called him [Kissinger] my Jew Boy to his face?

    Robert Dallek: Oh yes. And behind his back. And he'd say things to him - he'd say ugly things about Jews and then he'd say, "Well isn't that right, Henry? Isn't that right?" And Kissinger would say, "Well, Mr. President, there are Jews and there are Jews."

    Or Kissinger, Nixon--they'd have some discussion about the Middle East in a group meeting, maybe at the NSC, and Kissinger would talk about the Middle East and then Nixon would say, "Now can we get an American point of view?"

    On May 17, White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that Trump was meeting with four candidates for the role — Joe Lieberman, Andrew McCabe, Frank Keating and Richard McFeely.
    There are supposed to be ten others also under consideration.

    That's certainly the effect of the system, but I don't think it's (usually) planned to the extent you suggest.

    There are frequently real fights, because there's only so much boodle to go around.

    Trump picks Lieberman associate Kasowitz as personal lawyer in Russia probe

    By: ANA RADELAT | May 23, 2017


    Washington – President Donald Trump’s decision to hire attorney Marc Kasowitz to serve as his private lawyer during federal and congressional Russia probes has dimmed former Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman’s chances of becoming the next FBI chief.

    Kasowitz, a New York attorney who has represented Trump in legal matters before, is the senior partner in the Kasowitz Benson Torres law firm that hired Lieberman after he retired from the Senate in 2013. Fox Business and ABC were the first to report Kasowitz’s hiring on Tuesday afternoon.

    The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Senate Democrats, who are opposed to having Lieberman replace ousted FBI director James Comey, had already grumbled about the connection between Lieberman, Kasowitz and Trump.

    Kasowitz’s representation of Trump during the Russia probe would be likely to pose a conflict of interest if Lieberman were head of the FBI.

    Trump last week said Lieberman was a front-runner for the FBI job. But that was before Senate Democrats made clear they would oppose the nomination, which has also been rejected by American civil liberties groups.

    Trump’s comments about Lieberman also were made before his decision to hire an outside counsel.

    News that Kasowitz was chosen to represent the president during investigations into links between Moscow and Trump associates by special counsel Robert Mueller and four congressional committees came after former CIA Director John Brennan testified about those links Tuesday.

    Brennan said he became concerned last year that the Russian government was trying to influence members of the Trump campaign to act, perhaps unwittingly, on Moscow’s behalf.

    “I encountered and am aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign that I was concerned about because of known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals,” Brennan told members of the House Intelligence Committee.

    “I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul

    In the event he does pick Lieberman (who fits in so nicely with the other neocons in the WH) can we have a preview of the Trumpsplanation?

    He's not going to, just like he didn't make John Bolton Secretary of State. Just like I said he wouldn't. Even though you were blowing a gasket and quite sure he would, and attacking him for it.

    WHO WILL BE THE NEXT FBI DIRECTOR? TRUMP’S SEARCH STALLS AS RUSSIA INVESTIGATION EXPANDS


    <snip>

    At least five contenders have withdrawn their names from consideration for the position: former Assistant United States Attorney General Alice Fisher, New York State Court of Appeals Associate Judge Michael Garcia, Senator John Cornyn, U.S. Representative Trey Gowdy and former FBI official Richard McFeely.

    The president interviewed candidates on May 17 and said he could name his pick by the end of the week. The following day, citing several White House officials and advisers, Politico reported that Lieberman was the front-runner. The president was also considering former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating and acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. Earlier in the search process, he had considered former Republican congressman Mike Rogers and Fran Townsend, who had been an adviser to President George W. Bush.
    Keating, who was governor from 1995 to 2003 and worked as an FBI agent for a few years after law school, says he has not withdrawn his name from consideration and has not heard from the White House about the position since the meeting. “I have no idea who’s on the list, who’s not on the list,” he says about the potential candidates.

    Responding to the report that the search process is restarting, he says, “I think it’s healthy to reset and re-examine who they’ve seen and whether or not they need to consider a number of other people. I think that’s best for the country.” He adds, joking, “Now for individual candidates such as I, it may not be the best thing.” Keating works at the law firm Holland and Knight, which has ties to Trump’s presidential transition team.
