As former Attorney General Jeff Sessions departed the Department of Justice (DOJ), a short list of potential replacements has surfaced in Washington, D.C.
Below, Breitbart News has compiled eight “America First” candidates for Attorney General.
Kris Kobach
Currently, Kobach is serving the last couple of months as Kansas’s Secretary of State. Kobach previously served as an adviser to President Trump on immigration, and most notably wrote Arizona’s SB 1070 law that made it a state crime to be in the country as an illegal alien.
...
Jeff Landry
Landry is Louisiana’s sitting Attorney General and the president of the National Association of Attorneys General. As a staunch conservative and ally of Trump, Landry encouraged then-AG Jeff Sessions to break up social media tech giants, saying “I think the companies are too big and they need to be broken up.” That would be a welcome sentiment to the Trump administration, which has railed against the censorship of conservatives online.

Lamar Smith

Tom Fitton .... AG does not have to be a lawyer.
However, if the President picks someone that has proven to be very aggressive in their in their prosecutorial roles or in applying the laws fairly - not something the Dem AGs are capable of - then the FBI Agents on the protective detail will probably have to increase and go thru some extra special vetting process. Because if the next one starts dropping the hammer, who the hell knows what will happen.
The President is not one of these political, DC made, monsters that he fights with every day. If these people, once they’re seated in an interview room start talking about who they’re going to take down in the process, I’m sure the President and his new AG will just get more tape recorders and make some more room in the DC jail.
If that happens, the President should go down to Ft Bragg and find some of the most patriotic SOBs in Delta and give them the job of protecting the new AG.
If Trumps pick is an aggressive, law and order type who doesn’t hesitate to go after Leftist Dems, we’ll see explosions of criminal behavior that surpasses what we’ve seen thus far. These lawless ones have gotten away with their criminality for so long that to be prosecuted will send them into psychotic rage, imo. They’ll be like fang-bearing, snarling, spitting wolverines caught in a trap.
After the Keebler elf anything would be an improvement. Whoever the new AG is gonna be ,they better be ready to do war with the new Demonrat committies and start busting treasonous operatives within our government. Start turning over some rocks and stomp some roaches.
Soon after, a commission needs to be created to investigate Clinton, Obama administration and the political spys amongst us. IF THEY DONT INVESTIGATE INDICT AND PROSECUTE right to the end We are lost as a republic
No but the chances of the Senate confirming anyone who isn't either a lawyer or someone with considerable law enforcement experience lie somewhere between zilch and none.
A real list instead of a parade of television celebrities, ancient geezers, and RINO self-promoters!
Spot on! Great post!

Put them down like mad dogs!
Well, if we want someone there who’ll TCB re election fraud, Kobach is the guy.
NOT Jan Brewer.
——NOT Jan Brewer.-—
Why not?
I was under the impression she is a rather agressive prosecutor
Whoever is picked needs to solve the problem of NO CONTROING LEGAL AUTHORITY.
People need to be accountable for their actions
Sessions's failure was not having the backbone to put a stop to the hundreds of recent violations of the Constitution by the party of Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayers.
How many people at DOJ do you suppose need to be replaced?
A new AG won’t be able to do a thing with the current crew.
The DOJ regularly uses task forces made up of selected internal people and outsiders hired to aid in prosecution. Many times those outsiders get permanent DOJ jobs as they become open. This can certainly be done for prosecution of corrupt political actors.
The Dems are fighting Whittaker so hard I have a feeling he would be best for the job. We need someone who will clean out the corruption and he has spent a year at DOJ observing, I’m pretty sure he knows what needs to be cleaned up.
He does know and would be an invaluable second in command to the new AG. Being down the chain, he could act under cover as the work progresses.
Secrecy is a necessary attribute of the coming battles
“The Dems are fighting Whittaker so hard I have a feeling he would be best for the job”

Well, they also fought tooth and nail against Sessions... otherwise I would agree with you that makes sense... but hell, they are going to implode no matter WHO Trump picks. He might as well pick an inglorious bastard and let it rip
