I would love to hear the explanations. I'll be sure make some popcorn for this thread.
I think it's bullshit and looks suspicious. Could it be because of the Russia investigation? Sure. The truth teller will be who Trump nominates as a replacement and how long it takes the Senate to confirm the new Director.
If everything is on the up and up, Trump will nominated a great replacement and the Senate will quickly confirm the new Director.
If there is bullshit involved, then Trump will either drag his feet on a nominee or nominate some so deplorable, the Senate will fail to confirm them thus resulting in the Director's seat staying empty.
