  Trump needs to find somebody better to advise on staffing the white house and all the other agencies. NSC is still manned by over 60% Obama appointees. They all need to go. The swamp draining needs to proceed at a faster rate. But the real disappointment is that Joe lieberman is the leading candidate to head the FBI. Really? That is the best they can come up with? He is over 70 years old and was low energy decades ago. He claimed to be independent but caucuses and voted with the Dems almost exclusively. He is most definitely a political insider that would bring politics to the job with him. I don't know of any legal ot law enforcement experience. Granted those aren't requirements but other than running his Senate office what administrative experience does he have? I don't understand how he can be the leading pick for FBI. I would love to see Minnesota Sheriff David Clarke appointed. He would get things done. Preibis needs to go and a new chief of staff from outside the establishment put in place IMO.

Yeah, that is really a weird choice.  But Liberman is popular in Congress, so maybe he is trying to win some points there.  (good luck with that). 

It usually takes the first year to really get all the staff positions filled, not to mention the ones that have to be confirmed.  Anyone who Trump proposes is going to have a hard time getting confirmed with Chuck Schumer and the gang.

Sadly, the entire Comey situation and Comey himself have so politicized the FBI that this is what Trump may end up doing.  The staff probably feels the need to put someone in there that is "unimpeachable" as a Trump lackey.  That is what TDS with Dems and the govt media have done to continue to destroy this country.  They have simply taken over for Obama.
