But because of the political whiplash likely facing anyone who takes the job, including the likelihood of personal threats and the intense media scrutiny that comes along with the acceptance of such a high-profile position.
"This is a political appointment," Feinberg said."Now I agree there are very substantive national security concerns. But this is already, you know, if you're asked to do this, brace yourself one side or the other, they're going to be looking at how you behaved in grammar school. And never mind it was 70 years ago, or 60 years ago. I mean, this is political warfare of the type that we've been seeing over the last decade. And it's very, very problematic.
