It is laughable that even Trump could think this would fly for Attorney General. Sure ambassador to Bora Bora or something, but AG? OMFG. I wonder if Trump's advisors even really try to advise him on anything or have just given up?

...willingness to do what he is told to do. Do what I tell you, or I will release the ethics report. I'm leaking it out a little at a time.

Imagine having an AG who would do your bidding. Investigate, charge, and bring to trial one of your enemies. Regardless of what the fact proved or disproved.

Djt learned from Putin's interaction with Djt. We will likely never know if the infamous alleged pee-pee tape exists. But Djt's subservient nature to Putin should suggest that if it isn't the pee tape, it would be equally harmful if released.
