JOHN HINDERAKER: “Is President Obama really thinking of nominating Jamie Gorelick to head the FBI? It seems almost inconceivable that anyone would consider appointing her to run anything. . . . Ms. Gorelick has been a disaster everywhere she has gone.”

But she’s politically reliable. My guess, however, is that they’re floating her name to draw fire and make the actual appointment — who will be just as politically reliable — seem better by comparison. So look closely when that’s announced.
