I was on a Qanon twitter thread and a commenter posted that IF RR recuses himself or quits, President Trump can appoint someone for 210 days as “acting” and would it not be fabulous if he appointed Flynn or Rogers? They both already cleared their confirmations and belonging to the Military could be called back. That would be EXCELLENT.

It can't be Flynn or Rogers. It has to be someone who has already been through the Senate approval process for an authoritative political position. Any authoritative position, so long as it was approved by the nominating/approval process. Flynn was in a position and Rogers resigned and would have to go through it again. He could, however, reposition someone from another department, someone else appointed in the DOJ, etc.

Geesh, I've met and talked with the man a half dozen times and he would hit DOJ like a neutron bomb in the Fulda Gap.
