If Sessions resigns, who replaces him?

We're all hoping this will bring down the Trump administration and perhaps it will in due course. But a more likely scenario for now is Sessions steps down in disgrace and then Drumpf brings in another AG.

Don't tell me it will be Rudy Giuliani or Chris Christie. Who are the other likely options?

IF he did end up resigning, whoever is nominated will be under vast scrutiny. Remember Flynn. phleshdef Mar 2017 #4
David Duke would be the most likely choice, since he represents Sessions still_one Mar 2017 #5

This should easy enough for them to deal with. We now live in a world of alternative facts.

And I'm pretty sure they'll have to do better than the Ghoul. Christie is a way no-go. He would NEVER get confirmed.

Flynn was ultimately replaced with someone very competent and highly acceptable for the position.

If Sessions is out, then Trump is going to end up being forced to nominate someone with no ties to his campaign and definitely no ties to Russia. That is how it went down with the Flynn replacement and that is how it would go down here.

I doubt he will resign anytime soon, I think they are gonna stand their shit slathered ground on this. But we will see.

Although Marco gave Rex Tillerson a good grilling at Tillerson's confirmation hearing, he did vote for him, so he's probably okay in Donny's books.
