The AG is nominated. It is the senate that confirms. The AG works for the people.
No, it doesn't make sense. No, it isn't fair to Sessions. But that's the deal.
DoJ will go on and continue to work for the people, just as FBI does with Comey gone. The guy at the top is disposable.
I am not endorsing this deal, I think it's a radically imbalanced trade, and I think Congress will pick Mueller, gladly.
*The AG works for the people*
Uh... didn’t look like it under holder, lynch, reno... they ALL served the president ... criminally and defiantly against the people... and got by with it.. it served obama’s and clinton’s bad act very well.. even congress thought it was okay to skirt the law and invent a way to have it all.
You don’t think Holder was corrupt? How about Lynch? You think Janet Reno was working for the people?
The people don’t choose the AG. The AG doesn’t report directly to us. We cannot dismiss the AG at will, any time we like.
Grassley’s slogan makes a nice soundbite but it’s not reality.
