Top order of business when Joe is elected is to swear in an AG who will set the DOJ

[Boogiemack]

on path to quick, aggressive response to the militias and other Trump supporters who engage in violence. Action against them must be swift and to the full extent of the law. No grand juries, just simple arrests, arraignments, trial and jail.

[elleng]

1. YES!

As difficult as it is to assess the priorities of the awaiting tasks, imo the status of the Department of Justice is NUMBER ONE!

I will celebrate HUGELY the installation of our next Attorney General, to REESTABLISH it as an honorable institution.

[ananda]

2. Hillary Clinton, please

...

[StClone]

4. Hillary would deliver that Sweet Sword of Righteous Justice (and Satisfaction)

[TreasonousBastard]

6. My first thought, too. But it ain't gonna happen no matter how sweet it sounds.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

7. Right...

... there are so many honorable and qualified former U.S. Attorneys that Trump, Sessions and Barr pushed out or who chose to resign rather than be tainted by or do dirty work for them.

I am perfectly fine with Hillary being able to at times consult and then gloat.

[Lonestarblue]

19. That would be seen as political payback rather than justice.

I doubt Hillary would consider it either. I hope Hillary will become more the Eleanor Roosevelt of our day.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. I think we have little to worry about here.

And I really, really doubt it will be Hillary Clinton.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

24. me too, but

it sure would be great to have her back as sos.

[Roy Rolling]

5. Not the "Militias"

They’re domestic terrorists masquerading behind the 2nd Amendment. These boys and girls playing army are not “militias”, they are domestic terrorists. They are “militias” in the same way people who slaughter others in the name of their god are “religious”. Nope, they are domestic terrorists.

*Steps off soapbox of word definitions*

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

8. Yeah...

... something like that.

[Sherman A1]

15. +1

I completely agree. They are indeed domestic terrorists.

9. Biden should appoint Sally Yates, former US Deputy AG and then acting US AG.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Yates

Sally Quillian Yates (born Sally Caroline Quillian; 1960) is an American lawyer. She was a United States Attorney, later United States Deputy Attorney General, having been appointed to both positions by President Barack Obama, and later was Acting United States Attorney General.

[dansolo]

14. Absolutely

She was fired because she was honorable. She also has impeccable credentials, and will immediately restore trust in the DOJ, both inside and out.

[CottonBear]

18. If Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) isn't re-elected, he should be Deputy AG.

I believe that he prosecuted the Birmingham church bombers. He is a good and decent man and an excellent prosecutor.

[quakerboy]

10. There needs to be a very rapid flush

Trump drained the swamp right into the government. Anyone who has joined government service under this administration, top to bottom, needs to be either dismissed or at the very least carefully reassessed. Quickly before they can compound the massive damage already done to this country.

[speaknow]

11. What really should be done is

when Joe takes over is Don't let the top
brass at the Pentagon resign but fire
all of them. For failure to uphold there
oath to protect from terrorist, domestic
or foreign. One thing for sure silence
gives permission.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

25. and hire back my nephew.

col. mark e. mitchell.
he had a storied, literally, career on the army. he was liason for jsoc in the obama wh.
then he was asst to sec def for jsoc.
john rood insulted both his intelligence and his patriotism, and he said fu.

he is happily retired. but if asked he could not say no.

[JI7]

12. If Doug Jones does not win re-election to the Senate he would be a good pick for AG

[CottonBear]

13. Oh, he would be an excellent AG!

The Democrats have a wealth of talent, experience and expertise.

[dansolo]

16. I would rather not see a politician as AJ

Sally Yates deserves the position.

[CottonBear]

20. My first choice, especially as a woman and fellow Georgian, is Sally Yates.

Good point about Jones being a politician. Maybe, he’ll win re-election! If not, I hope he has a role in the Biden-Harris administration.

She and Stacey Abrams both chose not to run in the Jungle Primary for the senate race in Georgia. I believe she is positioned to move back into government.

[Sherman A1]

17. A top priority among many top priorities

It is going to be a busy time.

[riverwalker]

21. Glenn Kirshner please

He would pursue justice.

[GoCubsGo]

22. I would rather that be done by an independent counsel.

Biden needs to avoid any appearance of retribution and witch-huning. His AG is going to have their hands full trying to weed out the corruption in the DOJ, and dealing with right-wing terror groups. Let the independent counsel have at it. He/she will get to the bottom of things, without giving the Trump cult any sort of ammo to claim that Dear Leader is some sort of victim.

23. First arrest Bill Barr. nt
