13. Two Choices for VPOTUS Kamala Harris
Fri Oct 25, 2024, 10:49 AM
Oct 2024

If and when Kamala wins with a wide, indisputable margin (fingers and toes crossed), here is an excellent candidate to replace USAG Merrick Garland:


Ms. Letitia James, NYS AG

And with the same caveat, here is an excellent candidate to replace D/FBI Christopher Wray:


Former police chief and Congresswoman Val Demings

Both Ms. James and Congresswoman Demings meet all the US Constitutional requirements for these respective positions.

PS: And when you look at all the Jan 6, anti-Kremlin and anti-Beijing counterintelligence prosecutions under Merrick Garland's watch at DOJ, he wasn't doing too bad. And his choice of SC Jack Smith, who prosecuted war criminals at the ICC, was outstanding.

Per the DOJ:

"In the 45 months since 6 Jan 2021, more than 1,532 suspects have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to attacking the US Capitol, including more than 571 seditionists charged with feloniously assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The FBI investigation remains ongoing."

I submit, I would rather have a hard-hitting unknown without any baggage from politically high-profile cases. nt Gore1FL Oct 2024 #4
I hear what you're saying, but I think Smith's high-profile reputation would strike fear in Nazi hearts. LaMouffette Oct 2024 #8

Wow and wow! James and Demings would also be amazing AG picks. And I agree that Merrick Garland did a lot of good as AG. LaMouffette Oct 2024 #15
