No big puzzle, there... To me it indicates that Trump is planning to nominate one of the Senators or Congressmen who are retiring in January for AG. If they are still doing great work in their present committee positions -- why deprive your administration of their contributions while we're still in power in the House?
Think long-term strategy. I don't expect a new AG until the new Congressional term starts.
(FWIW, I smell a whiff of lingering "Sessions Syndrome" -- even here on the "Trust the Plan" group...)
Remember, a 4-D chess-player businessman and top military strategy planners are in control of the plan...

Let’s keep whacking the Derp leftists on the noggin with the “CLINTON-era Vacancy Act” for the next 200+ days.
