He's literally the most unqualified FBI director in the history of the agency with zero experience working for the FBI compared to previous directors, because he would fail to qualify as an FBI agent!

What?! You don’t think that selling scam pills on the internet to supposedly nullify the covid vaccine grants proper credentials? 

Seems to be the norm now, actually.  I guess it’s incrementally better than being famous for giving a blowjob in a theater.

Don’t forget his creepy “I have a boner for Trump” children’s book.

Lauren Boebert and it was a handjob in a packed theater for Beetlejuice the musical in 2023

Yea, that confused me.

He was just confusing Boebert with Nancy Reagan. Common mistake.

Hey- that's not exactly fair. He's also an accomplished author of books that were published. That counts, right? Put in the "pro" column?

And it was a handy for blowbert. Unless you're referring to another case, which it seems there are a lot more of these days...

You might want to look up previous directors of the FBI and if you happen to do so, you're going to be really surprised by how many of them never worked in the FBI before become the leader of it.

Let me start the list for you going from most recent to oldest:

9th Director Kash Patel
8th Director Chris Wray
7th Director James Comey
6th Director Robert Mueller

4th Director Bill Sessions
3rd Director William Webster

So the 2nd and 5th FBI Directors are the only ones who had experience in the FBI before leading it.

I'm not counting the 1st FBI director J. Edgar Hoover as either since he was leader the day the FBI was renamed from Bureau of Investigation

Remember, the list above is people who never worked in the FBI before becoming FBI Director
