I’m aware.

Is it a requirement that the AG needs to be a lawyer?

The FBI Director doesn’t have to be an agent.

CIA Director doesn’t have to be a spy.

Sec of State doesn’t have to come from the Diplomatic Corps, nor do any Ambassadors.

Fitton would go thru there like wrecking ball, which is exactly that we need. And, even though he’s not a lawyer, he probably knows more about the law, than most of them. And, then he can bring in some of his most trusted associates to help him out.

I didn't read this article

Didn't JW, many months ago, say that had something like 46/47 hard drives with stuff on them?

Whatever happened with that?

Good Lord this stinks to high heaven.

"...high-ranking FBI officials helped Comey coordinate his testimony with Mueller."

MUELLER is guilty of COLLUDING with the FBI to get their stories straight! Why keep the Trump investigation going when it is HE who did the colluding?

There's a reason why every single detective TV show shows the detectives keeping the suspects separated - prevents coordinating stories and let's them play them against each other.

When are the indictments handed down?

Isn’t he the greatest?!! One of the few true investigative and honest journalists not on the payroll of DNC. I love his dogged pursuit of the bastards and his filing of all the FOIA requests.

He vigorously defends the Constitution unlike all the swamp bastards who lied when they took the oath to defend it. That’s good enough for me. It would be better if AG were not a lawyer IMO.

I don’t think Fitton is an attorney....as a matter of fact, I KNOW he’s not, as he has said as much.....he just has great attorneys surrounding him, I’m sure!!

OMG....You KNOW he’s not an attorney.

I NEVER SAID HE WAS.

As someone stated before, he’s not an attorney, so, does the Attorney General need to be a lawyer? I don’t know, SmartyPants, you tell me, that as a political appointee, does the AG need to be a lawyer. Because, as I stated earlier, than the FBI Director needs to be an agent. The CIA Director needs to be a spy. Secretary of State and all Ambassadors NEED to come from the Diplomatic Corps, etc, etc, etc, etc.

I believe that it was none other than Donald J Trump, who wrote, don’t ever be afraid to hire someone more talented or smarter than you are. In other words, hire them for their talents and intelligence and when they’re done, let them move on to the next person that is willing to pay.

As for Fitton, I don’t care that he’s not a lawyer. Is Session’s prosecuting cases? No. He has lawyers that work for the DOJ doing that. Some are probably great attorney’s, too. Hmmmmm...that kind of sounds similar to something I just read about a guy that surrounds himself with great attorney’s.

On a side note, I’m betting he knows a lot more about being an attorney than most attorneys. Same goes for paralegals. They’re the ones doing all the grunt work for the lawyers, after some time, they know as much or more.

My question - if President Trump colluded with Russia, why does Mueller have to ask him ANY questions? It should be in the bag...

Perhaps related ... you don’t have to be a lawyer to be a United States Supreme Court Justice but all have been IIRC.

The ABA always “rates” nominees qualifications level but a president and the Senate could ignore their opinions entirely.

Yep...That turkey doesn’t have to ask President Trump questions about collusion because he knows there wasn’t any but he wants to ask him questions so he can trick POTUS on a phony perjury charge or find ANYTHING he might be able to charge him with.

Mueller is being hounded by panicky Democrats. The losers built their 2918 strategy on their success at
removing Trump.They need something....anything....to get back their mojo.

(hat tip Victor Davis Hanson)

After Trump won, the super-confident Deep State had the power to either stop, remove, or delegitimize Trump and his presidency....

Obama’s apparat quite imaginatively pulled out all the stops:

<><>implanting Obama holdover appointees all over the executive branch;

<><>filing lawsuits and judge shopping;

<><>organizing the Resistance;

<><>pursuing impeachment writs;

<><>warping the FISA courts;

<><>weaponizing the DOJ and FBI;

<><>attempting to disrupt the Electoral College;

<><>angling for enactment of the 25th Amendment or the emoluments clause; and,

<><> unleashing Hollywood celebrities, Silicon Valley, and many in Wall Street to suffocate the Trump presidency in its infancy.

All of it indicative of the Third World mentality the Halfrican brought to the presidency. The scurrilous T/W tactic of using the power of government to attack and suppress people who get in their way.

I just got off a call with Senators Burr and Warner.

This SOB Warner needs get exposed, over and over. He's as dirty in this as anyone in the Senate, including Reid and McCain. And he's still standing.

Interesting perspective. Perhaps you are right. I never thought of a non-lawyer for AG. An outsider would definitely be an out-of-the-box move, typically Trumpian.

Doubt Fitton would get confirmed though. The first objection would be lack of a law degree. You could make book on it

Have we ever had an AG that wasn’t a lawyer? Hard to imagine a non-attorney taking over as the nation’s most important attorney.

That would be like appointing a lawyer to run the chief investigative agency.

Oh wait...

Getting confirmed as the US AG might not be easy for a non-attorney, but there is no requirement.

There is also no requirement to be an attorney in order to qualify to be a justice on the USSC.

If being an attorney is NOT a requirement for becoming Attorney General, and Tom Fitton is not a lawyer, I agree, Fitton would be an awesome choice. He gets the job done, as he has proven over and over again!
