I like Paxton and think it’s a Bush crime fam and network hit job. But, Paxton is not an attorney. Could he get confirmed?
How about Louis Gomert instead? Former Judge and House Judiciary Committee who took a lot of arrows for Trump. Last time around, the Trump appointees who were loyal were naiive and didn’t know where the bodies were buried.
Nobody worth a damn is ever going to get confirmed to the AG post in a Trump administration. The best hope is to put some loser in that position and then just work around him.
Gomert threw his lot in with the Bushs on this issue.
