Topic: Fbi Director

Representative Trey Gowdy explained his decision to withdraw from consideration for the FBI Director position, citing his "political taint" after six years in Congress. Gowdy suggested that James Comey had access to classified information regarding the Bill Clinton tarmac meeting that left him with no choice but to act as he did in July 2016. Speculation on other candidates includes Bill Bratton and Joe Lieberman.

CBS News incorrectly reported that former Congressman Mike Rogers is the current head of the House Intelligence Committee while discussing him as a candidate for FBI Director. Rogers left Congress in 2015 to become a talk show host, an error that underscores a lack of fact-checking in major network news.

John C. Dvorak jokingly accuses Adam Curry of "stealing" his long-running complaint about James Comey's role in the Martha Stewart prosecution. The hosts engage in lighthearted banter about "communal" jokes and the tendency of comedians to share or take credit for specific lines.
