No he is not, he is being toyed with for the amusement of drump.
Chris Christie Being Considered For Attorney General
āTime to make the donuts!ā
Heās only being āconsideredā so he can be rejected, because Chris Christie, after debasing himself, has become Trumpās personal punching bag. Christie has been endlessly jerked around the last two years because he keeps crawling back no matter how much he gets picked on and pushed around.
Itās the fate of bullies to end up being bullied by a bigger one. I donāt feel sorry for him.
Just a distraction until Kris Kobach comes out of the bathroom, where he has been crying since late Tuesday nightā¦
Probably wonāt pick Kobach now that heās an official loser. We all knew he was worse than a loser but now itās recorded he lost an election.
KKKobach doesnāt seem to know too much about the law, so heād be a perfect Trump pick. Iām sure the republicans would confirm him, despite his āfailings.ā
āI like winners, who donāt loseā
Judge Jeanine must be sitting by her phone like a teenager with a crushā¦
That list is a roguesā gallery of political hacks, isnāt it? Most of them would have to recuse themselves from oversight of Mueller, so Trump must be counting on a quick KO from Whitaker.
Christie will never be AG - he has his faults (and having lived under his admin for 8 years, Iām no fan) but I do not see him covering for Donald, breaking the law or risking his reputation for him. Donald knows this (Its why he was dumped from transition team - he couldnāt count as be willing to āplayā fast and loose with rules like Gates, Pence, Flynn, etc)
I donāt think Christie is being seriously considered. He has a history and wants a future. It is better than even money that he wouldnāt stop the Mueller investigation.
Oh, FUCK ME!
Good point. There are other Kobachs out there who havenāt lostā¦
yet. In a battle with Mueller? Hahaha!
Not gonna happen. Not even a story.
As this rumor originated with Laura Ingraham, I put zero stock in the possibility of it being remotely true.
and Jared
A case of ābetter to have them inside the tent and pissing out rather than outside the tent and pissing in?ā
The bathroom that corresponds to the gender on his birth certificate, of course.
I donāt know if the rumor is true, but the fact that itās out there tells us something: that the Whitaker appointment isnāt working out. Heās horribly compromised, is a total hack, and cannot act as effective spy or watchdog for Trump because he has no stature, legal standing or respect within the DOJ.
Trumpās firing of Sessions is looking more and more like an impulsive move, a reaction of anger and frustration at getting his ass kicked by the Democrats on Tuesday and what it means for Muellerās standing. It does not look to me, for the moment, as a carefully well thought out strategy.
Christie, at least on tv, has given somewhat acceptable answers regarding the rule of law and protecting the Mueller investigation. If he addresses those issues + the family separation policy well, he would stand a decent chance at a bipartisan confirmation. I think it would also mean that Rosenstein stays as Deputy AG and head of the Mueller probe.
