Someone better hopefully. His AGs haven’t exactly been stellar.

Assuming the article is correct, yours is an excellent question. If Trump thinks he can get a tougher AG than Bondi through the Senate, he’s probably wrong.

Democrats stick together.
Republicans, not so much.

Who are her Assistant AGs? In the case you mention, it will likely be one of them as "acting AG."

An acting Attorney General of the United States is governed primarily by the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA) of 1998, which allows them an initial 210 days, then another 210 days if a confirmation is rejected and same for a second nomination process.

So an acting AG can be in power nearly 2 years, although I'm not sure that's ever been done.

Let's hope it is guy, and he is ready to burn DC down.

This would not make me sad. Your right though, who can he get confirmed by congress? If only Thune would take a recess, maybe by recess appointment? I don’t know.
