Mike Lee: Trump's choice to replace Comey at FBI should be . . . Merrick Garland?

I know what your first reaction is. He’s kidding. Or he’s somehow trolling Trump. (Lee has never been a fan.) Obviously there’s no way a rock-ribbed conservative like Mike Lee would want Barack Obama’s Supreme Court choice running the FBI.

Is there?

Is there?

Say, is Lee crazy for tweeting at 6 in the morning? I ask because that’s what we’re told every time Trump does it:

Yeah, that’s a crazy thinking position to take. He seems to have some McCain-nish in him.

No. It will still leave the Rats with a majority in the D.C. Court so we gain nothing and put a possibility bitter leftist as FBI director.

Maybe someone has had the Chaffetz talk with him...because this idea just makes no sense whatsoever.

I had forgotten it, but your comment brought it back. It’s a shame Lee harmed his career in the eyes of msny. He looked very promising for a while.

Despite all that, Trump added Lee’s name to his list of potential judge picks. Maybe he’s considering Lee the same way he considered Romney (try the frog legs, Mitt; you won’t regret it). Still it was an interesting addition to the list.

sometimes you win the war more decisively by making the counterintuitive move that no one was prepared for,

Garland is no longer the "counterintuitive move that no one (is) prepared for"

He probably wouldn’t take it but Rudy Giuliani would be a great choice.
