I want to surface another name for Garland's replacement as AG.

[Stinky The Clown]

Benjamin Lloyd Crump

[Ocelot II]

1. I can't imagine that he'd want the job.

2. Peter Strzok for FBI Director,

Dana Nessel for AG.

[Silent Type]

3. Agree he wouldn't want it, but he'd get some justice for people who haven't had it.

Of course, he does that now. He’s probably not best candidate for AG, but there are worse.

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. Terrible idea. Nt

5. Bella Oxmyx

[Ocelot II]

6. Crump is a trial lawyer who handles civil rights and personal injury cases.

He specializes in civil rights cases, and is clearly quite passionate about his work. But the job of AG is as the administrator of a very large agency - a manager, not a trial lawyer. The AG doesn't try cases (that work is delegated to staff U.S. attorneys of a particular jurisdiction) or argue appeals (the Solicitor General's office handles those). Historically, attorneys general have had experience as federal prosecutors and/or judges. Crump is good at what he does, but I can't see him as an administrator.

7. I still want Sally Yates. n/t

But I don't know if she wants it.

8. Garland isn't apparently retiring...

...and President Biden isn't apparently firing him.

So, what's the relevance?

10. "Needs to"? That decision would be up to Biden, wouldn't it?
