The Obama administration reportedly is considering former Clinton administration official Jamie Gorelick, among others, to become the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The Wall Street Journal’s Evan Perez first reported the news last week, citing “U.S. officials” familiar with the situation.
Gorelick served as vice chairman of the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) when the government-sponsored enterprise began bundling subprime loans into securitized financial instruments. Prior to that, she served as deputy attorney general in the Clinton Justice Department under then-Attorney General Janet Reno from 1994 to 1997.
...
But Gorelick is perhaps best known for her 1995 memo, written when she was deputy attorney general, that later became known as “Gorelick’s Wall,” a policy prescription limiting the flow of information between intelligence gatherers and criminal investigators that some believe helped allow the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center to go unchallenged.

Oh. My. God.
Janet Reno would make a better head of the FBI.
If the Senate bends over for this, then the Republican Party will be finished AT THAT VERY MOMENT!
“She must have 8x10 glossies of every politician in DC.”
BINGO!
She & Hillary and those 700 FBI files.
If Gorelick gets the job then they will get the FBI files on all those spineless wimps in Congress.
Time to man up, jerks.
your'e kidding? with our wimpy RINO leadership you are expecting too much.
What's the matter, was Satan too busy to fill the post himself?
Washington, DC needs a caustic enema!
I'd like to drop a hint to the Divine that some sort of plague or space-borne impacting mass would be more than appreciated at this point.
Now that’s hate. They HATE us. I take it the wall needs rebuilding for ‘some reason’...........
Along with Franklin Raines and many other deserving Dems. Where's is "clawback" for these deserving criminals?????
Your comment was spot on!
Obama will sneak her in while congress is gone for easter break....watch and see....
Does that sound crazy? Anything’s possible with the traitorous liar in charge.
The Muzzies have to reward Gorelick for her cooperation and help in achieving their goals.
Including ones you wouldn’t think about, like being on the Duke University legal defense team for the Lacross debacle
We have a Winner !!!
Having floated this out to chum the waters all ‘round Capitol Hill, whoever is ultimately nominated will float through without a murmur of opposition.
How do YOU spell ‘sigh of relief’ for the all those Senators who will be called upon to ratify this nomination ???

Does anyone really think 7 Republicans cannot be peeled off to ensure cloture and head of a potential filibuster of the nomination of the first woman FBI director?
If Obama taps her for the job it'll be surprising to see the Senate resist.
“Obama actually is going to nominate AZ Sheriff Clarence Dupnik.”
And his boss will be Eric Holder. Obama’s endless cast of Batman comic characters is making its way down into the bureaucracy.
NEVER
From the very start of this Administration, the cast of characters comprising Obama’s inner circle has looked like the group of whack jobs I see around Hitler when I’m watching black and white film clips of his Beer Hall Putsch days on the Military Channel.
But now along comes this broad who was the chief enabler of intelligence failure that caused 9-11. But Wait! That was the good news! She had a key role Fannie Mae’s bundling of subprime loans, the main cause of the great collapse of 2008 and the Obominator’s rise to power. Until now I thought I had become too numb to be scared.
BTTT.
This woman is the very epitome of scum-sucking, corrupt, lying, bloodsucking government leech. She has the blood of thousands of Americans on her hands and her pockets are stuffed with tens of millions of dollars of loot she pilfered from the good people of this nation.
She should be in prison until death for her crimes. And she will never ever ever get through confirmation hearings, even with the generally wimpy Republicans in there.
