A fight is brewing among forces behind the Trump transition over the future of the Justice Department, with separate factions pushing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
A cabal of wealthy Texas oilmen is aggressively promoting Cruz for attorney general, according to a person with direct knowledge of discussions behind the scenes who also said the one-time Trump rival wants the slot.
On Thursday a new wrinkle emerged, with the Trump transition team releasing a statement about a meeting between Trump and Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions. Trump, the statement said, 'has been unbelievably impressed with Senator Sessions and his phenomenal record as Alabama's Attorney General and U.S. Attorney.' Those words suggest he is being considered to run the Justice Department.
A separate group of billionaires is encouraging the president-elect's team to embrace Kobach, citing his hard-line approach to restricting immigration across the board.
Those insiders want Trump to appoint Cruz to the U.S. Supreme Court instead.

But, of course, they won't be targeting Cruise.
UNBELIEVABLE!
If he didn’t use a CRBA, how else would he prove it. All he had was a Canadian birth cert. and he held a Canadian citizenship until 2015.
No, what’s unbelievable is that you are targeting Cruz with nonsense, while the left targets Trump, us and everything we stand for, with both barrels.
And Cruz solicited Mitch the Senate to have the Senate resolve him eligible... Cruz knows darn well he is NOT, nor will he ever be a 'natural born' US citizen. Too bad he pulled the Harvard Law School wool over your eyes.
If Cruz disappoints on SCOTUS can’t get rid of him. Donald should put him where can fire him.
Whatever!
Apparently both parents were anti-American activists, so much so, that she became a Canadian.
If that's so (and it appears that it is) how do two naturalized Canadians, regardless of national origination, produce a US citizen offspring?
Your assumption is a huge HUGE leap of faith.
If Lyin Ted somehow, magically manages to become an official US citizen...I'm sure he'd make a magnificent addition to the Supreme Court.
The left will target Cruz, and if it sticks they will target Trump for selecting him as an unknown quantity.
Either he proves his status or he is damaged goods. This is NOT nonsense.
Rafael really messed up. Had they recognized Ted’s ambition, they could have gotten him a Hawaiian BC.
Ted’s deceitful nature is why this keeps popping up, it disqualifies him for all positions of trust.
And the delegate theft where he had earned 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place was equally disturbing.
He’s a pure opportunist that has mastered the art of ‘conservative speak.’
That will be for Donald to determine.
Agreed. Hire & fire.
And Texas picks up a new Conservative Senator +++.
God Bless Texas.
What state are you voting in?
On that we agree.
Anything that we can see, DJT has already been made aware.
Each person he selects comes with some level of risk 1-10.
All I’m getting from you is that kroos is an “alleged” citizen.
By the way, Rubio and Jindal are at least anchor babies...so are Nikki Haley and Mia Love.
So out of a nation of 300 million, why can’t we come up with more NBC-stock patriots like Trump and Pence?
>> He's practiced in the art of deception <<
As they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I wonder from whence Ted inherited those unenviable "talents"?
Because globalist overseers like Goldman Sachs and Soros want to dissolve the Constitutional requirements.
What state do you vote in?
From his dad.
His father’s origins explain it all. Not that it’s Ted’s fault. And it explains why he dropped out so suddenly with 10 million in the coffers.
I will FR mail you if you have interest.
As many states as possible. Early and often! ha
Not Texas, but I do love Texas and I have confidence that Gov. Abbott would find the Right person for a replacement Senator.
Why do you not reveal which state you vote in?
