And, Trump managed to choose only 1 satisfactory U.S. Attorney General: Matthew Whitaker, who could only hold that post temporarily as Acting AG.

An all too brief glimpse of light.

The highlighted part tells the entire story. Trump could only appoint a satisfactory on an interim basis because an interim AG doesn't require Senate confirmation.

It's time to put a lot of these complaints about Trump's personnel picks to rest. For any executive branch post that requires Senate confirmation, the appointees weren't selected by Trump -- they were selected by Mitch McConnell.
