[The Hill] A group of current and former FBI agents on Saturday endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) to lead the FBI following the ouster of director James Comey.
"Chairman Rogers exemplifies the principles that should be possessed by the next FBI Director," Thomas F. O’Connor, president of the FBI Agents Association, said in a statement.
The association cited Rogers’ experience previously serving in the FBI in addition to his time in Congress to explain their endorsement.
"It is essential that the next FBI Director understand the details of how Agents do their important work," the statement continued. "Rogers’ unique and diverse experience will allow him to effectively lead the men and women of the Bureau as we work to protect our country from criminal and terrorist threats."
"During his time in Congress he showed a commitment to confronting threats to our country Hillary Clinton in a nonpartisan and collaborative manner." |
