So if the plan in 762 was followed, who would be the new AG? All that shuffling to get a new AG? Who would benefit HRC most?

Attorney general
Tom Perez wanted this job and was considered for it in the process that led to Loretta Lynch, and that interest still appears to be alive and well. He’d be a prominent carryover from the Obama administration, where he was credited internally for helping push forward on executive action while also keeping good relationships with the Hill. In an important prerequisite for this job, he has developed a trust and rapport with Clinton, which had a lot to do with his unexpectedly strong showing in the veepstakes. There’s some thought that Janet Napolitano, the former Arizona governor and state attorney general who left as Obama’s homeland security secretary after years of waiting to be attorney general, might want back in from her current job running the University of California system. Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who previously served as her state’s attorney general, is seen as a possibility, as is Tony West, the former No. 3 in Obama’s Justice Department, and Jamie Gorelick, a former deputy attorney general under Bill Clinton. There’s also some speculation that Vilsack, who’s a lawyer but has never held a position focused on the law in government, could fit here. Preet Bharara, the hard-charging United States attorney in New York, has long been seen as having his eyes on this job — but people close to Clinton point out that he might have proved himself a little too hard-charging and independent to be someone she’d want in this job.
