[Hoot Gibson]

That's all well and good but a lot of wishful thinking. Even if you play it by the book Dems are going to be crying foul if they don't get the result they want...and be calling names, protesting, shouting down conservatives and harrassing them in restaurants etc...so by all means put someone in there who will be your "wingman" like Eric Holder proudly proclaimed...and let the Dems eat it.

No more wishful thinking than Supreme Court justice that he believes will be more of an Antonin Scalia than an Anthony Kennedy. If Trump appoints a political hack, then it will make the Democrats' claim of a cover up an easy sale for the biased liberal media and Trump will very likely be impeached.

Trump should appoint somebody who he will almost certainly fire Rosenstein and bring the Mueller investigation to close with minimal political damage. Appointing a Trump equivalent of an Eric Holder would be a disaster for the president. The media only tolerates criminals like Holder and Lynch because they are left wingers. The GOP equivalent would soon be indicted.
