WASHINGTON — President Obama plans to nominate James B. Comey, a former hedge fund executive who served as a senior Justice Department official under President George W. Bush, to replace Robert S. Mueller III as the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to two people with knowledge of the selection.
By choosing Mr. Comey, a Republican, Mr. Obama made a strong statement about bipartisanship at a time when he faces renewed criticism from Republicans in Congress and has had difficulty winning confirmation of some important nominees. At the same time, Mr. Comey’s role in one of the most dramatic episodes of the Bush administration — in which he refused to acquiesce to White House aides and reauthorize a program for eavesdropping without warrants when he was serving as acting attorney general — should make him an acceptable choice to Democrats.

FULL STORY
James Comey was one of the few “public servants” who put up any resistance, at all,— (Read The Newsweek article below) — during the BuShit camarilla’s coup d’état of the United States and their attempt to install and solidify total and complete corporate fascism. Have you forgotten RepubliKlan criminal Navy Adm. John Poindexter, who came to national attention when he was convicted for his role in the Iran-Contra affair. Within a few weeks after the SCOTUS 5-4 vote which stole the presidential election from Gore, Poindexter was brought back to the Pentagon by Rumsfeld and given the funds to develop a program he had been thinking about for twenty years; Total Information Awareness (TIA), whose logo featured a pyramid with an all-seeing eye, which would use powerful computers to search ALL electronic data compiled about everyone, everywhere. TIA faced intense opposition when it was publicized in 2001 and congress cut the funding. From that point forward the BuShit gang did everything shrouded in as much secrecy as possible even if their actions violated national & international laws. As george w. bush himself said to a group of politicians gathered in the Oval office—"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed at them — "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"—
Watch most of the RepubliKlans in the U.S. Senate during Comey’s confirmation hearings attempt to slander him and then vote against him. His nomination is further repudiation of the Cheney- BuShit- Rice- Rumsfeld years of deceitful governance.

They were loyal conservatives, and Bush appointees.
They fought a quiet battle to rein in the president's power
in the war on terror.And they paid a price for it.
