Are they REALLY this stupid? To select Cover-Up Queen Jamie Gorelick as the next FBI Director?!?
Why? To keep the lid on Gunwalker?
Jamie Gorelick, Deputy Attorney General in the Clinton Justice Department under then-Attorney General Janet Reno from 1994 to 1997. From the Oklahoma City bombing to the 9/11 Commission, Jamie Gorelick IS the undisputed Cover-Up Queen.
Chris Neefus, CNSNews.com, reports:
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.
The Perez article, headlined "White House Intensifies Search for Next FBI Chief," said in part:
The Obama administration is ramping up its search for a new Federal Bureau of Investigation director, as Robert Mueller's term approaches its end in early September, with former Bush and Clinton administration officials and a federal judge among those being considered. . .
The candidates being discussed, according to U.S. officials, are James Comey, Kenneth Wainstein, Patrick Fitzgerald and Merrick Garland. Also in the running, the officials said, are Michael Mason, John Pistole and Jamie Gorelick. . .
Messrs. Comey, Garland and Pistole didn't respond to requests for comment. Messrs. Fitzgerald, Wainstein and Mason, and Ms. Gorelick declined to comment.
Moe Lane, writing at Red State, comments:
Fox Nation reports that Jamie Gorelick is on the Obama administration’s short list for new FBI Director. Gorelick’s political rap sheet is a thing of wonder: it includes Fannie Mae, Countrywide Loans, defending Duke University after the lacrosse case, (most infamously) the Gorelick Wall - and these days she’s the defense lawyer for British Petroleum. Which basically means that Gorelick brackets the entire political spectrum in terms of offensiveness, from conservative to progressive. Not a full bracket, of course. There are no reports that the woman is also involved in piracy, human trafficking, the international drug trade, and/or arms smuggling, after all… but then, there are only twenty-fours in the day, and seven days in the week.
Bitter humor aside, let me be blunt. Nominate Jamie Gorelick for any position in this administration and the resulting confirmation hearing will make the Harriet Miers debacle look like a Sunday School picnic. Republicans will get off of their deathbeds in order to fight this nomination - because while Democrats have managed to make themselves forget that Gorelick penned an order that helped to cripple our internal counter-terrorism protocols before 9/11, REPUBLICANS HAVE NOT. As to legislators… the question is not whether Republican Senators will sign off on this. They will not. The question is how many Democratic Senators running for re-election next year will be willing to take yet another metaphorical bullet for this administration by supporting Gorelick’s nomination. I suggest that the number is less than the administration thinks.
But surely this is merely a rumor: nobody in the administration is really stupid enough to nominate a woman who is this notorious.
Right?
Of course if they are determined to stonewall the Gunwalker scandal, and they need a cover-up specialist at the FBI, there's no one more skilled than Gorelick.

Short answer to your question....
YES!

One would hope that this a sign of cleverness. Float her name, let everyone get up in arms about it, and then whoever they actually nominate will have relatively smooth sailing. Of course, this is the gang that couldn't shoot straight. But jeeze, head council for BP? Does he not want the votes of any Gulf State Senator? ::)
