Trump better hope Biden doesn't appoint Whitmer as A.G.

I know it is a much lower position than Governor and it would never happen. But I think Trump will realize the importance of not burning all his bridges. And if the Senate flips, he better run far away.

Can you see how fast he'd be calling his buddy Vlad for an Aeroflot express for a "family charter?"

Because the AG is going to have to oversee/direct investigations and prosecutions of Trump and his closest circle, never mind all his lackeys. Don't invite accusations of personal vendetta and abusing power if you don't need to. There are many qualified people to choose from.

The Department of Justice has been politicized enough during Trump's reign of error.

A rock-solid prosecutor with independence and a history of following the rule of law is what we need to rebuild confidence in the DOJ and bring the traitors to justice.

That would take the leader out of the equation.

We need a fair and impartial investigation.... before we lock them the fuck up.

"Don't invite accusations of personal vendetta and abusing power if you don't need to."

No matter *who* is appointed/chosen, the right will be SCREECHING about "payback"
