I join in co-sponsoring S. 1103, a bill that would extend the term of the current FBI Director for 2 years.

I think there are bad, and even potentially dangerous, times to change an FBI Director, and I think that this is one of them.

I think there are no politics in this decision, just as there are no politics in Bob Mueller.

There is no one that I have ever met who is better suited to the responsible use of power than Bob Mueller.
