Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro has told Trump administration staffers that she would be interested in taking over as attorney general from Jeff Sessions, Politico reported Thursday.
Pirro, who has been a vocal supporter of President Trump since his campaign, has repeatedly told Trump aides since the election that she would like to be the attorney general, according to the report.
The Fox News host has frequently used her show to target Sessions, and recently described him as the most dangerous man in America.
However, aides told Politico that Trump is not seriously considering Pirro for the job. He did reportedly offer to nominate her to a federal judgeship during an Oval Office meeting last November, although a former official claimed to Politico that Trump was trying to flatter her more than make a sincere offer.
While Pirro initially pitched herself as attorney general during the transition, she also signaled interest in being named deputy attorney general, Politico reported.

President Trump could not apply enough pressure to get rid of Obamacare or to Build the Wall. Do you really think he could apply enough pressure to get those traitors in the US Senate to vote for an AG to replace Sessions?
AG or Deputy is fine, as long as Sessions moves on.
I have to admit, I am sitting here grinning like a fool at the the prospect...I would take time off from work to watch that!
She has too many skeletons in her closet.
But if he were to find someone he’d like to put in there, here’s how he could do it:
Have Vice President Pence chair a Senate floor session. He is the President of the Senate, so he rules. All he has to do is rule the Senate Adjourned and in Recess.
With the Senate in Recess, President Trump can then fire Sessions and Rosenstein and appoint someone as the Recess Attorney General and someone as the Recess Assistant Attorney General until the end of the Senate session, which will be sometime this December, I think.
Then he would have a problem, but maybe he will have a solid majority of Republicans who will approve new selections for this two positions in January 2019.
It’s a long shot, but . . .
It would only take her 6 months to fumigate the place. The DOJ needs to be cleansed from top to bottom.
You weren’t the DA of Westchester County though..

He can't. Article I, Section 5: "...neither House, during the session of Congress, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days."
“Congress would never approve it.”
I expect you’re right. She has legal baggage surrounding her divorce, I think.
But maybe a lower level Federal judgeship. She and the Trump family have been tight since the Ivana era. And she’s been a strong support from the beginning.
Well, no-I was-and am-just an everyday working class woman, so nobody much cares what I do to bust a cheating man-in rural communities like this one, that stuff is just juicy gossip that makes women cheer you on and men call you a bitch-unless the guy comes to physical harm by your hand-but anyone-man or woman, high profile or not-has every right to find out when they are being lied to and retaliate in whatever legal and non-violent way they want-I’m a firm believer in venganza-learned about it as a kid...
“He is acting like a person that has been blackmailed.”
Ya THINK? This has been mentioned on ever Sessions-related thread for about a year now. In the Dem file cabinet, his file comes after the one with “Gowdy” on it.
“She had her Husbands mistress followed and bugged his boat.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. ;)
Right now we have nothing more than a RECUSED MAGOO who has assumed as much responsibility for his job as Maynard Krebs on Dobie Gillis.
she wouldn’t be considered.
the Shill is a Joke.
Thank you SO MUCH for the info!
She would be terrific!
No. We need seniors who can no longer be bought, and will do the right thing!
So Trump was never a politician, and you dislike him as Pres, too!!? And Jeffy has just been such a knowledgeable guy as AG. Yeesh!!
It would be fun to watch the confirmation hearings if he would actually let loose on those folks, Democrats and Republicans alike!
This would not take three days. Could be done in ONE day. BOOM!
