President-elect Donald Trump will tap Sen. Jeff Sessions to be his Attorney General, according to Bloomberg News and the New York Times.
Sessions, the first U.S. Senator to endorse Trump, was rumored for a number of positions in Trump’s cabinet, including Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense but it appears that the former Attorney General of Alabama has been selected for the highest law and order position in the administration.
Sen. Ted Cruz was also rumored for the position after he was spotted at Trump Tower, meeting with the president elect.
The official announcement from Trump’s transition team is expected later today.
In addition, Rep. Mike Pompeo has been selected by Trump as CIA director ...

Who will get Sessions’ seat in the Senate?
2. Has a job in mind.
3. Wanted his input on some his selections.
Both.
Better another Ally than an enemy. And an ally that knows the system and the game as well.
Time for one team, one fight.
Unbelievably great pick after suffering through Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch.
I don’t care who is picked as long as they prosecute the Clintons to the max, leaving out no sordid detail.
Jeff Sessions was AG for the state Of Alabama.
Reagan nominated him for a federal district judgeship but he could not get past the Democrats.
He is from the same county (Baldwin) as Apple CEO, Tim Cook. (East side of Mobile Bay.)

I think Trump is bringing all these people to Trump Tower just to yank the media’s chain and keep them chasing their tails.
This is going to be a fun four years!
This is too much freakin’ win. I’m getting vertigo.
Thats gonna put a SNAFU in the illegal immigration tactics of the left.
He is already up to speed and probably chomping at the bit.!
Fox is lamenting how very conservative these appointments are. Sounds like everything is falling into place.

“Wondering why Trump had Cruz spend 5 hours with his team an hour of which was with Trump himself. Seems odd based on your “insight”.
Possibilities:
1. Just wanted to embarrass him.
2. Has a job in mind.
3. Wanted his input on some his selections.”
4. Lobbying him for Supreme Court vacancy?
4. To replace Antonin Scalia
My take as well. If Trump ever does invite Cruz into his administration there are going to be a lot of Freepers with egg on their face.
Great choice.
Is this a good pick? I know nothing about him
Rep. Mike Pompeo
Excellent! Sessions will be great in this role.
Mark Levin will like this pick.
Now AL needs to elect Mo Brooks up into the Senate.
My hope as well but we are being told otherwise by Kellyanne. And the AJ job is going to Sessions.
Muzzles need to point OUT of the perimeter.
There’s a lot of work to do to repair the intentional damage of the last eight years.
Primaries are rough. But they’re over.
