Who is in consideration now for the top spot?

I’d love Paxton for AG, but if he left Texas, I’m almost certain the place would go to siht. He has been more a solid bulwark in place than most people realize.
Todd Blanche the man he nominated to be Gaetz’s deputy AG.
Don’t know that much about him.
I think he is loyal to Trump.
That’s enough for me.
All the AG’s in Trump’s first term were not.
👍👍👍
I recall being underwhelmed with Biondi’s handling of her part of the Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman case, but don’t recall the details.
Another Paxton vote here.
It’s gotta be Paxton. He has the smarts and the skills and the maga bonafides, and he has an axe to grind.
Marjorie Greene
No, Cruz needs to stay where he is. Heck, we sent $$$ from Michigan to keep him where he is.
He does already if he pays taxes
Somebody who has experience as a federal prosecutor and federal judge, and who can pass the same level of background investigation as an Assistant U.S. Attorney or FBI Agent.
At least two of those guys are too old or ill
GUILIANI!
Matt Whitaker
People online want him to be the next Governor..also didn’t he have impeachment hearings against him(I know, bogus but still) lets go with Andrew Bailey, or heck even Kash Patel
What you said.
Kris Kobach
Flynn, Paxton or Guliani(if he’s up for it)
I would have said Matt Whitaker but I see he may be appointed as ambassador to NATO
Matt already has been appointed to something else (NATO?). But there’s time to juggle some people.
I agree.
My concern in general of all Trump's picks is that he is taking the cream off the top of the milk. Good for him but un-nerving for those states in replacing them.
