Let's talk about our new Attorney General

[bluestarone]

I wanted Harris to be our next AG. Now WHO would be the BEST new AG? I know Obama would be saved for the SC. in my eyes. Could it be Hillary? I could handle that!!!

[Claustrum]

1. No for Hillary. Any investigation and/or indictment would be twisted into

a payback for 2016. There are other positions for her.

[njhoneybadger]

2. Sally Yates

[TomCADem]

17. Totally Agree. Sally Yates.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Sally Yates or Preet Bharara.

Hillary hasn't practiced law in decades and has no experience as a prosecutor in any capacity. Obama has never been a judge and also hasn't practiced law in years. They are great people but for both positions I'd prefer someone with relevant qualifications.

[Boogiemack]

11. I second that! Sally would be great! nt

[bullimiami]

18. 2 great prospects.

[alwaysinasnit]

31. +1000

[FM123]

4. We have so many fantastic folks to choose from....

I think Preet Bharara would do a good job!

[spooky3]

7. Katie Porter, though she probably doesn't want the job. nt

[FM123]

13. Oh, I love Katie Porter!

She would be great at almost anything - but lately I am thinking what an amazing job she could do as the new Secretary of the Treasury....

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. That would be Trump and Putin's worst nightmare....

2021 is going be a interesting year for DOJ/FBI/CIA....gonna need a whole lot more resources.

[Solomon]

6. Adam Schift would be great but we need him in Congress. The atty General of New York

Is good and the atty general of Michigan is looking good right now too.

[bluestarone]

12. Schiff would be an EXCELLENT choice!

24. I'm kinda hoping Schiff gets Kamala's seat from California...

He'd be a great addition to the Senate Judiciary Committee, possibly chair?

Otherwise, I like him where he is.

[Native]

26. Agreed

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

34. His name is Schiff, not Schift.

[bluestarone]

37. TY my bad

And i knew this but screwed up.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

38. I mention it only because Trump calls him "Schifty" and we don't want that to stick.

[bluestarone]

39. Yes your right!

We DO NOT need to help RUMP for sure!!

[Squidly]

8. Amy Klobuchar

Her senate seat would be filled with a Dem with MNs Dem Governor. I think she would do a great job.

[Solomon]

19. I liked Klobuchar for vp pick until I found out she gave Derek Chauvin a pass when she was atty

General. She supported law enforcement a bit too much when using excessive force so unfortunately, I don't think so.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. That's not true. She was no longer the county attorney (she was never the AG)

when the decision was made not to prosecute Chauvin in 2006. Chauvin's shooting of the suspect took place on Oct. 29, only a week before she was elected to the Senate. She left the county attorney's office in December, several months before her successor sent the case to the grand jury for review.

[Squidly]

28. thanks for the clarification

Disregard my post below.

[Squidly]

25. what did Chauvin do when she was attn gen?

that was quite a few years ago, almost 20 and the case wasnt even heard until after she left the position

[brush]

9. That would be sort of a comedown for Hillary. Klobuchar maybe?

Xavier Becerra, the California AG and former Congressman is also a good choice. He's Latinx and impressive. Elizabeth Warren would also be good but I would like to see her as Senate Majority Leader if we take the Senate.

[FM123]

15. Becerra is fantastic!

I was kinda thinking he could take Kamala's senate seat since there has never been a Latinx senator from California. And yes I LOVE Elizabeth, but I too would like to see her take Moscow Mitch's senate leadership away from him.

[brush]

21. Ok, ok. I can see Becerra as senator. Newsom may very well appoint him.

Is that Frida Khalo as your screen icon?

[FM123]

32. Yes, I love Frida Kahlo!

[brush]

33. Me too. What a historic figure she was. An artist in her own rite married...

to the great muralist Rivera, with international figures like Trotsky in her social circle. What a time that must've been.

[FM123]

35. Yes!!!

[nycbos]

10. How about Doug Jones.

Unfortunately, I don't think he will be reelected to the Senate.

[Elwood P Dowd]

14. He would be a good one.

Besides experience as a US Senator, he also has Justice Department experience - was the US Attorney that convicted the KKK thugs for the 1960s black church bombing.

[spooky3]

40. Another good candidate! Thx. nt

[obamanut2012]

16. Sally Yates, please!

[Rice4VP]

20. Adam Schiff or Sally Yates

[bluestarone]

23. Looks like Sally's

Winning here!!

[Wounded Bear]

27. This thread needs a...

[dubyadiprecession]

29. How about John Kerry?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. No. He's another person who hasn't actively practiced law in decades.

He was an assistant county prosecutor for a couple of years right out of law school in the '70s, then went into private practice for a bit, and left the law business permanently when he was elected Lt. Governor in 1982. That's it. Also he's pushing 80.

[Hamer555]

36. Im sure this won't be popular for obvious reasons....and I know it wont happen....E. Spitzer

Just feel like he would be aggressive in going after the Trump family.
