My speculation on Joe's AG

I think Biden WANTED to announce his AG earlier. I believe he has been forced to reconsider his first choices. For a HORRIBLE reason

I think there is FAR worse criminality INSIDE the DOJ & Government than Biden knew. As Barr was fired, DOJ staffers..

..as Barr was fired, DOJ staffers have suddenly felt more safe to reach out privately to Biden, to warn of the horrid time-bombs ticking inside DOJ - starting with the corrupt Rosenstein now in charge.

Joe has been forced to rethink who would be BEST FOR AMERICA to do that job..

..and here is superbly wild play.

It might be a brilliant idea to nominate a REPUBLICAN as the AG. Obviously NOT in any way tainted by Trump. Think of General Colin Powell. While a Republican, he was always a patriot first (too bad about WMD). Someone like Powell, fair

I want to be clear. I don't EXPECT the Republican Biden appoints to be the AG.

BUT if it was a 'never Trumper' that Biden trusts to be FAIR (like say Gov Kasich), what BETTER place to put the Republican, where he can do no damage due to conservative ideology. Just fix the DOJ?

Imagine the FURY with how a 'genuine' Republican would pursue Trumpomobster criminals installed into government? He'd see every corrupt person as destroying and corrupting HIS PARTY as well as damaging America.

Not as bad an idea as it might at first appear.

Boldly bipartisan..

MY BAD - I meant Jeff Rosen, the acting AG, not Rosenstein
