President Donald Trump is still looking for a new FBI director more than three weeks after he fired James Comey, and sources familiar with the recruiting process say it has been chaotic and that job interviews led by Trump have been brief.

Three close associates of three contenders for the job, all of whom have been interviewed by Trump, said the candidates were summoned to the White House for 10- to 20-minute conversations with Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Those conversations, which followed initial interviews at the Justice Department, have been light on questions about substantive issues facing the agency, the three associates said.

While the department has compiled a long list of candidates for the White House, there has been no “clear framework or logic for who was interviewed and why,” said one of the sources.

1. Everything is chaotic with this troglodyte n/t

[Phoenix61]

2. That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone

He is a bumbling, stumbling idiot. Not to mention mean, spiteful, and vindictive. Who the hell would want to work for him?

[C Moon]

3. "Are you willing to lie and become a traitor for me?"

[flibbitygiblets]

4. Yup, it's a short interview when the only question is a loyalty pledge

Maybe Drumph should put an ad on Craigslist.

"Butt-kissing Toady Wanted, no experience necessary".

14. :D

5. You only need 10-20 minutes to formally submit the price you have placed on your personal integrity.

*45 would not want to spend more than necessary for a director since any candidate selected will effectively produce the same result....

Plus, *45 needs to make sure the unlucky winner 'looks right'....

[sdfernando]

6. How long does it take to answer these questions?

1) Will you swear and loyalty oath to Donald Trump
2) Will you shut down all investigations in to Russian collusion and any other investigations I ask?
3) Will you fire Mueller and anyone else I ask?

Shouldn't take more then a minute, two at the most.

20. Would you like one -- and only one -- scoop of ice cream?

"Donnie Two-Scoops" -- I love that name.

8. Trump has no idea what he's doing.

[Mz Pip]

9. Shouldn't be that hard

There must be a few possibilities wallowing in the muck of his drained swamp.

10. Color me shocked!

Who would have predicted it would be chaotic?


Oh yeah, everybody.

11. Does the job come with a free copy of Faust?

12. Chaos and disorder was the key to his success as the world's most amazing business executive

13. They can't get them to swear allegience to Trump.

[Vinca]

15. Anyone with 6 brain cells will steer clear of anything related to Trump.

[brooklynite]

16. "enough about me; let's talk about you..."

"What do you think of me"?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. As does everything else his misadministration does

[tclambert]

18. He wants to ask, "If I make you Head of the FBI, will you stop the Russia investigation?"

But that would be obstruction of justice, and his staffers know it. So they can't let him ask the only question he really cares about.

19. It's hard to find a complete "Yes" man for a job

where the job you're casting is responsible for exposing law-breakers - and you have a lot to hide.
