President Barack Obama announced in a speech yesterday that he has chosen Jim Comey to be the new director for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
This makes Comey the seventh director the FBI has had.
Obama says he interviewed many applicants with strong credentials, but that he picked Comey because he "got a sense that this is somebody who knows what is right and what is wrong."
Comey appeared before the crowd to publicly accept his new position and highlight the FBI's seal and motto: "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity."
Comey said he still remembers his mother pulling up the shades every morning saying, "Rise and shine and show the world what you're made of." Although he didn't appreciate the motto back then, he sees its importance now.
According to Comey, there is a commonly perpetuated myth that bravery means not being afraid, but Comey believes this is simply untrue. He explains that true bravery is being afraid but doing something anyway, and that's what he knows every FBI agent does.
