“A New Moral Compass Leading the Federal Bureau of
Investigation”: James Corney
October 28th,
2013.
President Obama introduces the seventh director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, James Corney. Thanking the crowd of FBI
agents, Obama remarks on their new leader, Corney, and the impressive
accomplishments that precede him. Obama claims, “It is hard to imagine somebody
who is not so uniquely qualified. Jim is a famously cool character in the
presence of crisis.” Obama recognized Corney's family and thanked them as a team.
That cool character was well represented in Corney’s
acceptance speech, as his tranquil demeanor was evident. In his speech, Corney
defined the three aspects to the FBI shield: Fedelity, Bravery and Integrity.
Corney speaks of the abuse of power, and how all agents will visit the Martin
Luther King memorial to be reminded of the abuse of power of our great nation
prior. Bravery belongs on the shield because, as Corney quotes, “the essence of
bravery is fear. Real agents like real peopling, fearing that fear. The men and
women of the FBI know the dangers of their jobs, but raise their right hands,
take the oath and do it anyway.” And last Corney quotes, “Integrity, a person
of integrity is complete undivided. Everything we do is making people believe.
Every employee of the FBI has received the gift of integrity but must protect
it and earn it.”
The audience of FBI agents, as well as President Obama was
left confident that the decision to make Corney the seventh director to the FBI
would be beneficial for years to come.
