President Barack Obama introduced the new
director of the FBI yesterday. President Obama described the new incumbent
director, James B Comey, as “uniquely qualified” for the position.
After interviewing many potential
candidates, Obama knew Mr. Comey was right for the job after seeing his family,
saying that he knew Mr. Comey could tell what is right and what is wrong.
Mr. Comey, a former prosecutor, will hold
the position as the 7th director of the FBI. In his acceptance
speech, Mr. Comey stated how honored he was and how he was excited to work with
the brave men and women of the FBI.
After thanking the President and his
family for all of their support, Mr. Comey went on and talked about the ethos
of the FBI. On the FBI’s shield it reads, fidelity, bravery, and integrity.
Mr. Comey explained how the FBI must be
loyal to both act as an independent organization above political influence, yet
also act in accordance with the US department of Justice. He went on to explain
how bravery is not the absence of fear, but rather the resistance of fear.
Lastly Mr. Comey explained how the FBI must be honest by being wholesome and
undivided.
Mr. Comey strongly emphasized how these
three principles capture the essence of the FBI and its people and how he would
continue to uphold these standards moving forward.
