Analyst says Trump wants 'bomb-thrower' for attorney general — just before pick revealed
Raw StoryMoments before President-elect Donald Trump announced his replacement pick for attorney general, a legal analyst said she expected him to select a "bomb-thrower." With Trump intent on installing loyalists within the Justice Department who share his vision of disrupting the status quo, it wasn't likely he'd back off from selecting another nominee who had no problem being a firebrand in the position, according to CNN legal analyst Lauren Tomlinson. He’s going to pick someone who he believes is loyal to his vision, who also believes that they need to shake up Washington and will go out there and do it.” Tomlinson told Wolf Blitzer on his show “The Situation Room” that Trump based his process of selecting nominees for his second administration on lessons he learned during his previous term. Her remarks came less than an hour before Trump announced Pam Bondi — a Trump loyalist who represented him during his first impeachment — as his nominee for attorney general.
