I think there are a number of good theories posited but the timing here certainly suggests that something is in the works. Reportedly Haley & POTUS first spoke about this 6 months ago (The Plan). Now, today, after JUSTICE K takes the bench, it’s announced. Obviously they were holding until after the confirmation. But right before midterms? Why not wait until after then & closer to EOY? Absolutely no real difference in practical terms. It would seem to me that suggests there are dominoes falling & I like the suggestion by Faith above that she’s positioned to take Graham’s seat if he’s moving on to bigger things. I thought Gowdy was being positioned for DAG. FOX Business has analyst speculating that Graham will become AG and she will take his seat.
“FOX Business has analyst speculating that Graham will become AG and she will take his seat.”
This.
> Graham
Assistant AG once Rosenstein resigns.
Graham has even suggested that Trump could replace Sessions after the midterms, so it makes sense that Graham is the guy who would do that. If I were him, though I wouldn’t do that. He has his seat for the next 2 or 3 terms if he wants it. That’s 12-18 years. Or more. Moving to AG for 2-6 years and giving up that seat would be a big sacrifice.
