At least RFK had some experience. I know there are folks out there who disagree, but the reality is, he did have experience.
Rudy might also, but that would be a disaster. Which is why it’ll probably happen.
Plus Nixon’s Attorney General, John Mitchell, went to prison for crimes committed as AG covering up Watergate. So there is the criminal liability to be considered by any appointee.

Under the circumstances I’d be perfectly fine without an AG, so go ahead and fire him, Trump. I hate the Confederate House Elf and you are welcome to fire his mean little white ass.

But there aren’t enough Shekels in it for him.
I would love him to nominate Mike Lee. Mazie Hirono ,Angus King and Kamala Harris could question him for hours on his and Urine Hatch’s conspiracy to foist a Rob Porter high elective office career upon the nation and cover up his criminal spousal abuse.
Typical republican DAISNAID.
True – based on other reporting, some of which I’ve read on TPM, his Scottish golf courses don’t make any money. I’d speculate they’re only afloat in the first place as sinks for money laundering, and otherwise wouldn’t be worth the annual losses. We only knew that much because British financial disclosures are much more open than American ones. The obvious next question is “are any of his other businesses any better?”. The smart money is “no”. Sunlight is a brutal disinfectant for shady businesses like that.

He’s pissed off “Cuck” Kushner, so he’s out.
They won’t have to “get confirmed”.
McConnell and Ryan will fully end this session of Congress to release everyone to campaign in the Mid-Terms, and that will allow Trump to FIRE both Sessions and Christopher Wray over at the FBI, then replace them both via recess-appointments.
I can see Trump replacing Sessions with someone like Chuck Grassley (R-IA) or god forbid, Tom Cotton (R-AR), while replacing Wray with Rudy Guilliani (who has lusted after the top FBI position for decades.)
They are capable of untold damage as they would be in those positions (unchallenged) until the end of the Congressional Session in the fall of 2019.
As AG that position can then fire Rosenstein and put a compliant lackey (Devine Nunes?) in his place, then remove all funding for Mueller, demand he wrap up the investigation, and when he DOES deliver his final report, bury it and take NO ACTION on it’s recommendations. Remember, only the DOJ can actually bring any Federal charges and under someone like Cotton they never would.
Over at the FBI, Guilliani would close down any and all active investigations into any Russians, then open new investigations into; Hillary’s E-Mails (the gift that keeps on giving), The Clinton Foundation, start up an AntiFa taskforce, and end pretty much ALL federal investigations into any of Trump’s buddies.
If he gets the chance, Trump will do it. He would get way too much out of it not to.
I think that just meant they shared a tone. Skin tone.

I hope she has more self-respect than her felonious half-siblings. She was raised in California, after all, not among the NYC underworld.

“Few People Could Get Confirmed If Trump Fires Sessions—And None Of Them Want The Job”
Good because several of them should be impeached. Starting with Zinke, Ajit Pai, Betsy “dimwit” Devos and Mike “anti-consumer” Mullvaney.

They’d definitely vote for Cruz, if only to get him out of the Senate. I think they’d call it a win-win.
I believe in VA you can still sit for the bar without having a law degree.
Mere Nembutal does not thrill me at all.
They won’t impeach him, they won’t have to, they’ll just investigate the crap out of him and let him slowly, slowly twist in the wind.

Obama gave Trump some very good advice before power was handed over, that Trump should get himself a very good personal attorney and listen to his advice. Although it was good advice and nevertheless Trump failed to heed it, thinking the attorney general’s job was to protect the president and not administer federal law enforcement, he’ll still find a way to blame it on Obama.
If Our Piehole ever gets another Federal job, the terrorists have already won.
