12. Interesting about Bush wanting Timothy Flanagan for Comey's job

Margolis is just a temporary appointment by Comey to fill in until the permanent replacement is made for Comey that requires Senate confirmation. Bush may have more problems than he expected though with the guy he nominated to replace Comey since Bush's pick has ties to Jack Abramoff who just got indicted.

"President Bush has nominated Timothy E. Flanigan, once Gonzales' deputy in the White House, to take Comey's job. Alice Fisher has been nominated to lead the criminal division.

Neither has been confirmed. Flanigan faced tough questioning in his Senate confirmation hearing about his role in allowing aggressive interrogation techniques be used on detainees from Afghanistan and Iraq and his ties to lobbyist Jack Abramoff."

This is in the original article we are discussing
