Who's your pick for Joe's AG?

[Just_Vote_Dem]

I'm gonna say Preet Bharara-what say you?

[True Dough]

1. You have no faith in Bill Barr?

Kidding!



Preet would do a fine job.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

5. LOL!

I read the first line and thought I was posting on the wrong website!

Good one

[Digger]

22. Haha

[soothsayer]

36. Haaaa!

[DrToast]

2. Doug Jones

[orwell]

42. +1 n/m

[33taw]

3. Sally Yates

[Quemado]

4. Anyone who will prosecute Trump, DeJoy, and the rest of the criminal gang.

That's my criteria.

[philf99]

6. Doug Jones

[BlueNProud]

7. Like to see Holder come back

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. Preet Bharara or Glenn Kirschner.

Both would have Joe's blessing to prosecute Trump and his minions, as well as those in Congress, who benefitted financially during the term.

[Marie Marie]

15. These choices work for me, especially Kirschner. He's had enough of Trump's shit.

[Kahuna]

16. Glenn Kirschner is like...Let me at 'em. Let me at 'em. He'd be good.

49. I want Glenn Kirschner to be

in charge of whatever they call their "Truth and Reconciliation" investigation.

Preet Bhahara and Sally Yates would be great at this as well, but they have the danger of being pegged by Republicans, who would try to discount their findings.

[Progressive Jones]

59. I agree. Either would do a fantastic job. The next AG is going to be a very busy AG. nt

[Chipper Chat]

9. Adam Schiff.

A big fuck you to the Orange Anus.

[Digger]

17. This

little donald would love it.

[happybird]

21. +1

[SheltieLover]

30. He interviewed during impeachment

And knocked it so far out of the park, it's still flying.

Anyone with Schiff's legal intellect, attention to detail & presentation skills who is a "chester the molester-type" lawyer.

[raccoon]

53. I second that emotion. Nt

[nebby70]

10. Like it ...

... he's proved formidable ...

[MaryMagdaline]

11. Schiff if he is not the next senator

[brush]

12. Preet or Sally Yates.

[BlueInPhilly]

13. Sally Yates n/t

[Kahuna]

14. Adam Schiff. He would crawl up trumpco's butt and stay there. nt

[Binkie The Clown]

18. I think I'll leave that up to Joe. nt

[Rice4VP]

19. Sally Yates. She keeps it real and is very ethical

[gohuskies]

20. Many great options but here are mine

Many qualified attorneys here to choose from. But i would say Andrew Weissman, Sally Yates or Preet Bharara would be qualified. Adam Schiff would also be a great selection too but we need him in Congress.

[In It to Win It]

23. Sally Yates... so that she can slap down Ted Cruz again... and again and again

[dansolo]

24. Sally Yates

Hasn't she already been Senate approved in her previous role before Trump fired her?

[world wide wally]

25. Don Rickles?

[PirateRo]

26. Hillary

Let her lock them all up.

[tblue37]

27. Preet Bharara or Sally Yates.

[Blue_true]

28. Sally Yates. nt

[Fiendish Thingy]

29. Bharara, Yates, or Katayal are my picks. Nt

[stonecutter357]

31. Doug Jones !

[matt819]

32. Schiff...

Kirschner

Barara

Yates

[dsc]

33. Doug Jones would be great

[SheltieLover]

34. Would attorneys chump fired be eligible?

To me that's like a badge of honor, but as legal ethics go.

[COLGATE4]

35. Adam Schiff

[unblock]

37. Whoever it is, they're gonna need a bigger boat.

Maybe double staff. A whole new division to dig into trump family crimes.

[Dan]

38. Satan

[bullimiami]

39. Yes.

[obamanut2012]

40. Sally Yates

[crimycarny]

41. Hillary Clinton

Yes, I realize picking Hillary Clinton would be extremely controversial. But based on all the sh*t the GOP has pulled since the election I no longer care. I’m tired of playing nice. Hillary has balls of steel, and smart as h*ll.

[PoliticAverse]

43. How many Wall Street criminals did Bharara prosecute? n/t

[rzemanfl]

44. Sally Yates. Karma requires her appointment. n/t

[Celerity]

46. +1000

Also Stacey Abrams beating that ratfucker white power berk Kemp in the 2022 GA gubernatorial race.

That way their refusing to run for the Senate (if we lose the run-offs) in 2020 will have not been in vain.

[rzemanfl]

47. Hi! Thanks for agreeing. I am recovering from a mostly sleepless

tropical storm night.

[Celerity]

51. I have been in a funk, tbh, ever since the Senate results in ME, NC, IA, and MT came in.

Also the overall House results (we could end up with a ultra slim 221-214 or so advantage if the closest undeclared races all go against us). The best we can do is probably 223-212. There are two ULTRA close races left, IA-2 where Mariannette Miller-Meeks, the Rethug, leads Rita Hart by 48 (yes 48) votes, and then CA-25 (the Katie Hill ex-seat) where Rethug Mike Garcia leads Christy Smith by 159 votes. IF we lose both those (and thus end up at 221 more than likely) 4 defections (provided all the Rethugs hold tight) and we will be defeated on a full vote for legislation.

Senate-wise, I knew KY, TX, and AK (SC was always a pure fantasy) were not going to happen, as well as KS (due to Sibelius refusing to run) and TN (Tim McGraw has now twice in two years refused to run for open seats, the worst turn-down being in 2018, when he had a weak opponent (RWNJ noob Marsha Blackburn) and the Blue Wave to back him. He has now set himself up to not run and win for years and years, although maybe he gives it a shot in 2024, which is probably his last really good shot until the 2030's).

I am so so so hoping we can beat the historical odds and flip both the GA Senate seats.

[rzemanfl]

57. If it were not for some unsurmountable issues here on the home front,

I would move the 600 miles to Savannah and vote there.

[gibraltar72]

45. Kirshner has a plan. I think he would go full bore after every traitor in the

administration. I hope he has a job in DOJ if not as AG.

[marble falls]

48. Normally I'd recommend Kamala Harris but it appears her schedule is booked. Barrack Obama? ...

Adam Schiff, of course.

[Mr. Ected]

50. Someone who wouldn't force a Democrat to have to leave Congress

Besides, Sally Yates or Preet Bharara would fill that role very capably. We're stacked.

[Amishman]

52. I'd love to see Merrick Garland considered

Supremely qualified and one heck of a consolation prize for what the Pubs did to him. Perhaps he would like some revenge.

[onenote]

54. I'm sure he prefers being a Court of Appeals judge.

[relayerbob]

55. Hillary, lol

[Jeebo]

56. Sally Yates.

Or, Doug Jones would be my second choice.

Somebody in this thread mentioned Merrick Garland. Isn't he still on that federal court Obama nominated him from? If so, I'd rather he would stay there because it's so hard to get Democratic nominees' judges confirmed.

[Dem4Life1102]

58. We don't get a pick

It’s Biden’s choice.

[bluedigger]

60. And DU is a discussion board, not a passive observation board.

I want to turn my brain off, I'll just turn on Fox News.

[Dem4Life1102]

61. Sure let's discuss

the pluses and minuses of his eventual pick. But it is still his pick. We don’t get a say.

[Brainfodder]

62. Whomever has the best experience for the job?

I am not making any fame picks.
