Vice President-elect Pence to Take Over Trump Transition Effort
nyt ^ | November 11, 2016 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR, MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT and MAGGIE HABERMANNOV

Mr. Trump’s administration is being assembled behind the scenes. But like much else in the nation’s capital, little stays secret for long.

The list of names being mentioned as possibilities for crucial posts in Mr. Trump’s cabinet is growing by the hour, giving official Washington what it craves most: a never-ending parlor game as speculation grows about who might actually get the nod.

A big revelation may come soon, according to Mr. Trump himself, who took to Twitter on Friday morning with some news. “Busy day planned in New York,” the president-elect said. “Will soon be making some very important decisions on the people who will be running our government.” ...

For now, the vice president-elect, Mike Pence, will play a more prominent role, according to two advisers to Mr. Trump, as will Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama. Both Mr. Pence and Mr. Sessions have been involved in the transition since it began, but Mr. Christie’s role may now change, according to the advisers.

...

Mr. Giuliani told CNN on Thursday that he might accept an appointment as attorney general, saying that “there’s probably nobody that knows the Justice Department better than me.”

I can't say for sure that it is real. But my gut tells me that there is something there. Remember, there is a pedo ring in the highest levels of the British government that was exposed a few years ago. Same with Catholic priests, same with Republican speaker of the house Dennis Hastert. They seem to thrive in areas where the public’s belief in the goodness of people allows them to operate.

Remember that Rudy is a social liberal. I agree that he might diligently prosecute public corruption (ie: the Clintons) but he may be soft in other areas. I’m not saying he’s a bad choice, but he’s not 100% conservative.

I think this would be the wedge that either causes Obama to forego a blanket pardon or to see the matter of a blanket pardon be reinterpreted in the courts. The American people will not stand for pedophilia among high politicians going unpunished.

Fact is you’re on record as suggesting Trump took “Levin’s” advise when Christie when Christie along with Giuliani was moved to vice chair.

Was Levin's advice that Christie should be removed from the campaign? I don't think so. I believe his advice was that he should not be Chair. And Christie HAS been removed as Chair. Which is what I pointed out, as well as the suggestion that "perhaps" he listened to Levin's advice. Nobody is trying to cover up that he is going to be Co Vice Chair.

And for you think that I was, makes you a liar.

Watching Rudy these past few months....he has fire, he is p8ssed off. He would be a great AG. Look how he cleaned up NY.
His speech at the convention was great! I believe everything he said.

It would be a wise idea to let Rudy get the ball rolling on Hillary. If one of the major objectives is to move Hillary to Ossining, then Rudy is our man to do the job.

He comes with a wealth of experience and his close ties to the NYPD are irreplaceable.

Of course I own them. I agree with them. I never denied them. If you are implying that I did, then you are lying again.
