Mueller Named to Head FBI Thursday, July 05, 2001 FoxNews.com President Bush is expected to name San Francisco attorney Robert Mueller to head the FBI, an official said on condition of anonymity. Bush was to announce the selection in the Rose Garden Thursday, the senior White House aide said. Attorney General John Ashcroft was planning to return early from his Independence Day vacation in Missouri to attend. Mueller, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California, was long considered the front-runner to replace retired FBI Director Louis Freeh at the helm of the troubled agency. Among the FBI's problems were a maverick independent streak, its snake-bitten relationship with the Clinton administration and a series of mishaps, including the botched investigation of former nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee, and the mishandling of evidence in the Oklahoma City bombing trial that forced the postponement of Timothy McVeigh's execution. In February, the FBI discovered that one of its own, veteran FBI agent Robert Hanssen, had been spying for the Russians for more than 15 years. Mueller's nomination had been expected since last month, when Bush abruptly ordered the search for an FBI chief expanded. The White House is seeking to rein in the independent-minded FBI and the president, aides said, wanted a director who defers to the Justice Department. Mueller remained the strongest candidate to fit this bill. The former acting deputy attorney general won the support of Attorney General John Ashcroft by aiding in the transition from the Clinton administration. Mueller was acting deputy attorney general from January until last month, when he returned to California to resume his job as U.S. attorney in San Francisco. Prior to his California posting, Mueller was chief of the homicide section at the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C. Under the first President Bush, Mueller was named assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department's criminal division. In that post, Mueller supervised the prosecutions of Manuel Noriega and John Gotti and headed up the investigations of the BCCI banking scandal and the 1988 bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Mueller also was assistant to Attorney General Richard Thornburgh and was a federal prosecutor in Boston and California, where he investigated and prosecuted major financial fraud, narcotics, terrorist and public corruption cases. The FBI Director is nominated to a 10-year term. The nomination requires Senate confirmation through the Senate Judiciary Committee. Louis Freeh left the FBI on June 22, after serving eight years of his ten-year term. Tom Pickard is the acting FBI Director until Robert Mueller is confirmed. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

You just don't understand, and it's probably going to be on the test... Conservative blacks and women don't count as blacks and women to the liberals. With their emotional rather than rational ideology, they don't WANT conservative blacks and women to exist-so they don't. You can almost see the feet stamping and the 2-year-old scowls on the faces. The liberal world won't PERMIT there to be conservative blacks or women. The liberal movement is the last bastion of true bigotry in America today.

And the liberal dream is that, if every woman is Hillary Clinton, the human race would be gone within a century. And, of course, the rocks and trees could live in peace once again. So it HAS to be true. It HAS TO! IT HAS TO!!!(:-<)

Don't deny you know what I mean about the GOP being the white man's party. The upper income white man and the remains of the old confederacy. Also the western ranch and mining types and the religious right. Put it all together and it's 95% white, 60% male and the women who do vote republican are mainly not the types who want out of the kitchen. Nothing wrong with housewives but the GOP does not stand for equal rights for women or minorities and you know it.
