I also want Letitia James to stay where she is for now, and I think we're going to see great justification for that very soon after January 20th.

And then she'll deserve a Presidential Medal of some sort.

She knows who's who, what's what, where the alliances lie, and where the bodies are buried.

as you put it. Trump is irrelevant starting jan 20th and Joe wont decide based on him. He is a responsible politician and will choose whomever he feels is the best for the job.

Would like him to go after Trump too. I think he'd better withstand the inevitable attacks than a woman or a minority, unfortunately.

He knows the ropes, and Wall Street would quake with fear if he got it. He's got some payback coming just on general principles.

He's young with lots of energy and is not afraid to say what needs to be said.

While Glenn Kirschner has always been my first choice for AG, I could see GK as a/the Special Prosecutor.

"I see pride! I see power! I see a bad-ass mother who don't take no crap off of nobody!"


I don't care what their name is. I want someone who takes pride in seeing justice done ALWAYS, who understands the power of their office and their department and will use ALL of the power therein to see justice done, who won't take crap from ANYONE.
