McCain Gives Obama Attorney General Nominee A Tentative Thumbs-Up

“And I would imagine from my first glance at her credentials that she would get approved by the Senate. This is a very outstanding young woman from everything that I can tell.”

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain said Monday that based on his first impression, he assumes U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch will get approved by the Senate to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder.

McCain called Obama’s nominee and the chief federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York an “outstanding young woman.”

“I think elections have consequences and therefore you give his nominees the benefit of the doubt, it doesn’t mean you’re a rubber stamp,” McCain said on the Steve Malzberg Show. “I voted in favor of some of his nominees who I would never have submitted to the Senate, but that’s our job, advise and consent.”

McCain added he believes a confirmation should wait, however, until the new Senate begins in January.

“Again, why not wait until you have a new Senate where we can look at this with some time to examine, it’s one of the most important positions there is. And I would imagine from my first glance at her credentials that she would get approved by the Senate. This is a very outstanding young woman from everything that I can tell.”

If approved, Lynch would become the first black woman to serve as the nation’s attorney general.

You know, I used to wonder about Juan McCain.

Was is possible that he's such a blathering idiot, say like Joe Biden ?

Not hardly. Neither one.

The "only" reason they repeatedly say "really stupid" things to embarrass their political colleges is simple.


It's called "blackmail".


Juan McCain simply wants more money funneled to his "friends".

Once Ted Cruz and Mike Lee sign-off on that, McCain would endorse Skippy-the-Clown for Attorney General.


Always follow the money.

If elections have consequences then she should NOT be approved. Our landslide beats Obama’s squeaked-out stolen elections any day of the year.

I really hope there is but two more years of McCain in our Senate, but the people of Arizona get the final say on that.

No, the consequence of electing a commie with dictatorial tendencies is that other elections don’t matter.

I think I heard Megyn Kelly on FOX news last night, also saying that this nominee for DOJ is a good choice; she listed several reasons. But I was only halfway paying attention due to trying to get a couple chores done.

Remember this when you read the words “Any republican is better than a democrat” and treat the idiot saying it accordingly.

No matter what!

Well OMcCain IS a member of the progressive dimocrat party and he claims he is in the republican party, thus he is a liberal progressive RINO. The ENEMY of the Republic.
