He was always compromised scum anyway.
If he goes home it will be to try to create a crisis for POTUS, but good riddance from my perspective. Trump can name anyone he wants on a short-term, acting basis, right?
If I were Trump and I knew Mitch would let his Senate approve anyone who wasn’t out to get me, I think I’d just go with a succession of temporary hires, while the Senate gets to shoot down my supposed nominees. Rudy’s a start, but there are more he can trust to follow him.
A temporary hire under the Vacancies Act would have to be someone who had previously worked in a post that required Senate confirmation. That seriously limits options for the President, and can only be a temporary appointment anyway.
Face it, folks ... William Barr is likely to be the best AG you're ever going to see in a Trump administration.
I have defended President Trump and his Twitter use for years now ... but when it comes to active DOJ cases he really needs to grow up and shut the f#&% up.
