If anything, I suspect he was always angling for a spot as the U.S. Attorney General in a Republican administration -- a natural position for a former Federal prosecutor. Maybe he sabotaged Romney's campaign in his own small way after finding out that someone else was being lined up for the job.
If that sounds outlandish, just consider this: Bridget Kelly, his staff member who was fired the other day after these e-mails and text messages came out, used to work for another former Federal prosecutor and liberal Republican from the Northeast who may have been given serious consideration for that role: Rudy Giuliani.
Well..., I wouldn’t argue against that point. It’s entirely possible that’s all he was looking for. I do think popularity rising as it did there for a while, he may have been seduced by it. Your point is reasoned.
I agree with you, AC. The trumped up story about Crispy wanting to run for POTUS comes from a plant, aka the media. When has anyone heard Crisp say he wanted it? AG sounds more like a position(other than spooning Bam) that he may like.
