AMF.

I suspect Zinke is probably next.

Personally, I'd like to see Cruz as AG.

And it sounds like Trump will appoint his new AG in January Smile. The Senate picked up a few more seats, things should be easier by early next year for his new appointee Cool

He would be a good AG but he just fought a difficult re-election battle.
So... I think he will remain in the Senate for the next 6 years.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Being asked to resign is in essence the same as being fired.

Holy crap, I thought I was looking at Kingpin from the Daredevil series. He could also be #47 from the Hitman series. If he is as tough as he looks and will go after these assholes, I am all for it.

Just thinking: Dims win the house and talk about all kinds of investigations into Trump Administration and possible impeachment (on what grounds I don't know). The next day Trump basically fires Sessions..........which is probably an indication of "if you go after me with your bullshit no teeth House Committees, I will go after Hilary, obummer, Holder, Lynch, Rice, etc under the Rule of Law which will mean indictments on them and then convict their asses".

^^^^ Big Grin

Gee I'm shocked, didn't see that coming. He should recuse himself for saying the sham investigation is a sham?

The only person qualified to be AG is obviously someone so un-biased as to fully support any and all investigations into the sitting POTUS even without a shred of evidence (nor even an accusation) of an actual crime.

Sound reasonable...

Never happen. There was a lesson learned the hard way after seeing Session's old seat go Demonrat. Besides there being numerous other highly qualified candidates who won't leave "holes" if "promoted", Cruz will be much more valuable in the Senate.

Hopefully the new AG will have the balls to bring the long overdue indictment against Hillary that she so richly deserves.

This is outstanding news. Sessions supports Civil Asset Forfeiture and is perpetually out of his fucking mind with respect to Cannabis Legalization, two wholly indefensible and inexcusable positions, in addition to how he handled his part of the Mueller witch-hunt.

Exactly! I never understand the desire from some folks to pluck away a reliable, experienced, and qualified senator and fill the hole with an unknown.

President Donald Trump named a former college football player, Matt Whitaker of the early-1990s Iowa Hawkeyes, the acting attorney general after Jeff Sessions resigned from the post Wednesday.

Whitaker is a former U.S. district attorney in Des Moines and was the starting tight end for the Iowa Hawkeyes in the 1991 Rose Bowl.

Sessions was a good man. I'm sure we all feel that a huge opportunity at righting the ship was wasted though.
