I'm looking at all of the Bondi blowback...who would you say was our last GREAT Attorney General?

I'm struggling with this one, and my "political activism" goes as far back as the first George W Bush term...that was my "wake up call." I've shared on DU before that it was actually Al Franken's book "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them." Before I picked up that book, I was 100% unaware of Karl Rove's existence. Once I learned WHO and WHAT he was, I became a "political animal."

I'm not talking "OK" Attorney General, or one who barely squeaked by with "a passing grade." Who was the last TRULY GREAT Attorney General, assuming we actually had one?

I’d say you’d probably have to go back into the Obama or Clinton eras.

At first I worried about nepotism, but he more than proved his worth in office.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
