I'm just trying to think of who could possibly replace her who will both pass the Senate and not be a flailing retard. Maybe he can just temp appoint Hegseth to do both jobs. He's been pretty good.
Well, going off of the candidates
that were previously discussed before Pam Bondi got the spot there are the following choices (among others):
>Sen. Mike Lee. The U.S. senator from Utah previously worked as an attorney at Sidley Austin and Howrey, as well as a federal prosecutor. He also has ties to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Lee as of late got in some controversy over that federal land sale plan in the Big Beautiful Bill that was ultimately dropped and he seems intent on staying as a Senator.
>Mark Paoletta. Prominent Washington, D.C., lawyer Mark Paoletta previously served as counsel to Vice President Mike Pence and then later as general counsel for the Office of Management and Budget during the first Trump administration.
>>John Ratcliffe. John Ratcliffe, former director of national intelligence and an ex-U.S. representative, is currently of counsel at litigation, compliance and defense firm Oberheiden, counseling clients on national security and government investigations matters,
according to a firm bio.
>>Matt Whitaker. Federal prosecutor Matt Whitaker served as acting attorney general during Trump’s first term. Before that, Whitaker was chief of staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Earlier in his career, he was appointed as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Iowa in 2004 by President George W. Bush, a position he held until 2009.
