The New Face Behind the FBI

President Obama began his speech on Monday in Washington by offering praise to the FBI. The. organization’s motto is “fidelity, bravery and integrity”. President Obama believes that James B. Comey exemplifies these characteristics above all other candidates. Comey became the 7^th director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation following his ceremonial oath.

Obama went on to apologize to the FBI for being thwarted during the government shutdown. The President is aware of the task at hand and the great difficulty of protecting the nation at home and abroad. He assures that such events will not happen again and that the Federal Bureau of Investigation will receive adequate resources in order to complete its responsibilities.

Comey’s term as F.B.I. director is set for 10 years. In his acceptance speech he once again referred to the qualities that make the Bureau so influential on the life of Americans. He has complete faith in his agents and considers them fully prepared to uphold justice and to continue the organization’s mission. Comey took time in his speech to explain the motto of the Bureau, and why “fidelity, bravery and integrity” must be upheld so that the F.B.I. does not stray from its mission

The new Director looks to uphold the policy of making all new agents and analysts visit the Holocaust Museum. He will now require these employees to also visit the Memorial to DR. Martin Luther King Junior. Upon visiting these sites, the FBI agents and analysts will be able to see what responsibilities lie ahead of them.

James B. Comey was the former deputy attorney general during the Presidency of George W. Bush. He has further enhanced his resume through the prosecution of the Gambino’s. Comey looks forward to the honor and the challenge of leading the F.B.I.
