10. I think Attorney General would be a good position for him as well.

I think he could do a lot of good from that position pushing back against some of the police overreach and racially-motivated violence in this country.

Not only do I think he would be uniquely qualified for such a task, it would also help him "atone" in some voters eyes for his perceived transgressions as mayor of Baltimore.
