With fired former FBI Director James Comey saying he learned that he was fired on Tuesday by President Donald Trump from a TV news report, claiming at first that he thought it was a joke and he'd been pranked, speculation has already begun about who may be Comey's replacement with a senior FBI official saying they were shocked and "had no idea that this was coming". 

As Heavy reported on Tuesday, 5 names that are receiving rampant speculation over who might be the next director of the FBI include South Carolina Rep Trey Gowdy (the favorite of many!), New Jersey governor Chris Christie, former NY police department head Bill Bratton, former New York city mayor Rudy Giuliani (though he has allegedly ruled himself out) and another favorite of many, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Sheriff David Clarke Jr. 

While their story goes on to report it seems unlikely the search would end with Clarke as he doesn't have much experience as a prosecutor or an investigator, much crazier things have already happened during this brief administration and if firing Comey was throwing a huge chunk of red meat to his 'base', bringing on Clarke to be his head of FBI might light the fire that carries Trump into 2024.
