It’s time for a real change. Sally Yates should be the new director of the FBI. RT if you agree.

If she were to also turn down this nomination, what about Alexander Vindman?

She turned down either Attorney General, or Assistant AG, I believe.

The FBI Director is a different position. It's meant to be independent of Presidential politics, and the appointment is usually for 10 years.

There was a push from Democrats in Georgia to encourage her to run for one of those two Senate seats - I think the one Ossoff won, but it doesn't matter - she absolutely refused even to consider it.
