quote:
Ted Cruz has told confidants he’s interested in serving as attorney general in the Trump administration, according to two sources familiar with the conversations.

Speculation that the Texas senator could become attorney general began Tuesday after Cruz met President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence at Trump Tower in Manhattan.

Cruz also wandered into the office of Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon for an impromptu meeting, according to a source close to Bannon.

Cruz may not be the frontrunner for the job, which is a target for others in Trump’s orbit — including Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), an early supporter of the businessman. Cruz, in contrast, memorably fought with Trump while finishing second in the GOP primary.

Cruz needs to focus on saving his own political arse & quit thinking about any national stage. He blew that part of his career.

The pedos up in DC would start committing suicide if Cruz became AG.

Cruz would stab Trump in the back and Trump would have given him the knife.

Which of the two: Sessions or Cruz, would be more likely to

1. Pursue Clinton(s)
2. Prosecute mayors for violating Federal immigration laws.
3. Clean house at the DoJ
4. Pursue DNC, MSM personal for violating Federal election laws?

He'd kill at as AG. Someone with no friends in DC would be perfect for what Trump wants to do. If he takes down a few big targets he'd help his resume for 2024 bigly. It'd be a perfect move by Trump, eliminate an enemy and tether him to your success, and have someone who could actually shake things up in the DOJ.
