Donald Trump's bombastic pick to run the FBI. The FBI's footprint has gotten so freaking big. Already has some controversial ideas for overhauling the Bureau. I'd shut down the FBI Hoover Building on day one and reopening the next day as a museum of the deep state. And I take the 7,000 employees that work in that building and send them across America to chase down criminals. Go be cops. You're cops. Go be cops. (00:08–00:17)
