Commentators have been busy predicting who’ll become the next FBI director since President Donald Trump fired James Comey from the position on Tuesday. Comey had been leading an FBI investigation into possible ties between Trump officials and Russia.

Some of the wildest and best tips for a replacement have emerged online. Soon after the news broke, Twitter users began suggesting potential candidates ― from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke to Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and daughters, Ivanka and Tiffany.

Several amusing substitutes are also being proposed, such as Chief Wiggum from “The Simpsons,” “Star Wars” villain Darth Vader and movie actor Stevan Seagal ― who was barred from Ukraine Friday because the new Russian citizen is considered a national security threat.

Check out the (admittedly non-exhaustive) list here:

Rudy Giuliani:

I, for one, am confident about the objectivity of future FBI Director Jared Kushner.

A lot of people say Jared Kushner is too busy to add FBI director to his portfolio, but I'm sure Middle East peace is almost finished.
