The next Democratic President must find a tough, independent bulldog for his Attorney General [View all]

Because Republicans have thrown our Constitution on the ground and shit on it. Especially the leader of their Party, Donald Trump. Is there ever a day goes by that he does not break a law?

He is up to his eyeballs in grifting and making money off his office. He expects the Republicans to protect all his "business ventures". He expects them to win the mid-term elections so he can continue to rob this country blind.

We do know about a lot of his deals in the Middle East, with the $400 million plane and his crypto currency projects that have the ability to launder most of the dirty money in the world. He is creating a bubble that will burst and affect the entire world economy. His criminal endeavors are historic, in scale and gall.

That is why we will need someone that is willing and able to restore justice back to our legal system. We do not need a Merrick Garland-type of Attorney General. We need someone that is willing to put people behind bars.

Whomever the next Democratic President might be, I sincerely hope that he or she is willing to tackle this monumental task.
