“Republicans such as Mitch McConnell and Graham have told Trump that they will NOT confirm any other AG appointment.”
It’s called recess appointments. The Senate will be going on recess about the 22nd I believe for about ten days. Any position normally requiring Senate confirmation can be filled during that time and they will serve for roughly one year before requiring confirmation or stepping down. Fire Sessions or preferably ask him to resign because of health/family/etc and appoint the new guy in the afternoon.
There has to be a solid conservative out in flyover country somewhere who is up for the job. We don’t need/want a Washington insider or someone who makes the rounds with Fox News or any other television/radio show for guest appearances. We want a young but solid prosecutor who answers to the at 1600.
But that is assuming that Trump wants a real live AG vs the potted plant he has at DOJ now?
I do hope the people who surround the President are telling him what options he has and even if they do, I can’t see the ineffectual Jeff Session cooperating and resigning.
I love this President, but I am underwhelmed by his choices and the people who are giving him advice. McMasters is down right scary and creepy.
