Why was he picked over Doug Jones? With the possible exception of Preet Bharara and Kamala Harris, no one was better qualified to be Attorney General than Jones.
Edited to include Preet Bharara.

Theres no question that hes qualified. Perhaps one of the most qualified ever. But that wasnt the only reason why he was selected.

(718 posts)Jones would be better and more decisive than Garland but the best in my opinion is Sally Yates. Merrick Garland needs to be a bit less timid when it comes to going after Trump and his goons.
