I've got some:
1. You said the President has been "really statesmanlike" on Coronavirus. Should AGs make sycophantic political statements? Is it "statesmanlike" to attack the media and joke about experience with "models"? Do you still think this after the bleach injection thing?
2. You've threatened to bring lawsuits against states that don't open up quickly enough, calling some restrictions "draconian." Where do you get expertise, or jurisdiction, to second-guess state and local officials and make these calls in their place?
3. You overrode your own prosecutors on the Roger Stone and Michael Flynn cases. Of the tens of thousands of cases the Department has handled during your tenure, in how many others where defendants have been duly convicted have you intervened and undermined your own people?
4. You filed a brief in federal court arguing against the ability of a state prosecutor to investigate the President while he is in office. Do you believe this is correct - that the president cannot even be investigated while in office?
5. You wrote before taking office that Mueller's theory was "asinine" and "fatally flawed." Wasn't this a conflict of interest?
6. Both Mueller and a GOP-appointed federal judge have noted that you publicly distorted Mueller's report. Are they both wrong?
7. You tried to stop the whistleblower's complaint from going to Congress, even though the law required it ("shall" be transmitted). Why?
8. You refused to even open an investigation on Ukraine. Have you read the statutes on bribery, extortion and foreign election interference?
9. You called the Russia investigation "one of the great travesties in American history" meant to "sabotage" Trump. Do you know this has been rejected by your own IG? And you know you're not allowed to comment like this on a pending case, per your own Justice Manual (right?)
10. How did your $30,000 holiday party at Trump's hotel go? Did you see anything wrong with this, given that your staff can't sell girl scout cookies on site because it might look shady?
11. How many cases have you ever tried as prosecutor? (Trick question; it's zero)
Thanks.
