Guess whose husband is on the short list for Solicitor General position?

Chuck Cooper,( Session's friend)

who had been a top contender for weeks, confirmed to CNN that he had informed the administration that he no longer wanted to be considered for the post.
His announcement came as an appeals court unanimously ruled against President Donald Trump's travel ban, and the President vowed to carry on his legal battle -- meaning it is potentially headed for review at the Supreme Court.


smart move, he realized he would only be set up to take losing cases to court.

So....

A source told CNN that Trump was still in the process of interviewing candidates for solicitor general.
The source said potential candidates include George Conway, husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway,
as well as Kannon Shanmugam and Christopher Landau.
