@GottaLaff @willbunch I recently came across the Benny Johnson interview of #mikedavis. It's so extreme that I first thought it was parody. It's real. It's shocking. Trump wants to name Davis acting AG on day one, bypassing Senate confirmation. He could serve for 4 months(correct me if I am wrong) without confirmation. Imagine what those 4 months, and beyond, would look like.

And in that 4 months, whatever necessary would be done to no longer require anything like a confirmation...

It would undoubtedly be permanent.

With all the trimmings that would bring.

@lupus_blackfur @GottaLaff @willbunch @gwaldby That's my thought exactly. And what's to stop him from naming a new acting AG every 4 months, a series of crazies eager to do his bidding. The only requirement for AG is a law degree and active bar status. Trump seems to have an endless supply of lawyers willing to debase themselves for him.
