I basically want Ghengis Khan as AG, but Jack Smith will be just fine.

For sure, and proven, ethical professionals are out there. A stacked deck is another problem.

Show the Republicans what competent lawyers can do.

Marc Elias would be excellent for AG (imho)

I'll take the job. Prosecuting everyone who has enabled or abetted this president and this administration is a hefty job but I am up for the challenge. I'll have the indictments ready day one.

Consider Jamie Raskin.

How about he goes back to the Hague and gets people warmed up?

If not then back to the Hague -ICC sure could use him again. So many Trump and regime crimes! Putin crimes. Make them banished from 126 nations! They must pay consequences!

De-Nazifying our agencies and forces is a generational civic duty... we need all the Jack Smith's we can get.

He is a witness/victim of the abuse of power now.

@marcelias.bsky.social would be excellent.

I agree with the general point, & I'd be OK with Smith as AG. But I'd recommend the same person now as in 2021: Andrew Weissmann. He did a great job on Mueller's team. Every time I hear him, I'm impressed with his clarity & analysis. But reappoint Smith to finish the job re 1/6. Accountability!

I think you meant “neutered.”

The funny thing about that statement... he actually WOULD be neutral. He'd be going after people who broke the law. Ignoring crime because adjudicating it might make waves is not neutral, it's performative cowardice.

Jack Smith isn't the answer.

Nominate me, I'm just as qualified as anyone else in this administration.

Yes!

My question is, why would he want the job?

Adam Schiff… 🫣 🙈

✊✊✊🥳

Yes, please!

Yes! Please.

I want Jack Smith, but a hyped-up real asshole version of him that will be OBSESSED with prosecuting crimes of all the traitors from the past 10 years

💙💙💙💙💙 A lot to be put in order so's we don't slide right back.

Actually, neutrality or fairness requires scorched earth.

Proven effective!

Yes! No more they go low, we go high nice guy/gal! Hard ass, aggressive bulldog who will move fast and go scorched earth!

YES‼️👍💙🔆🫶🏼

Someone help me understand this comment and thread, please Tons of people are very pro Jack Smith. Tons of other people are very anti-Jack Smith. Very much.

The law, including the Constitution, requires that the crime be brought in the jurisdiction in which it committed.

How did the docs get to Mar-a-Lago? Didn’t he take them from the White House?

Jack Smith for A.G. - it's time to take out the trash!

Have him named and set up to begin the confirmation hearing January 21, 2029. 

Yes please.

Yes❗️💯❗️❗️❗️

Let's get through this midterm first.

🎯💯

Jack Smith should be nominated to be the next Attorney General on Day 1 of the next Democratic Presidency. In addition, that same President, on that same day, should head down to a few Trump DC monstrosities and take the first swings at them.

Yes, please god please, scorched earth. Let’s make some examples for the future.

Glenn Kirschner for deputy AG.

Dems should give up on timidity and 'fairness' when making critical decisions.

Neutral means everyone and everything going covertly leftwards for the next 30-40 so..

Neutral got us an AG who treated the rule of law like a museum exhibit. 2029 needs a prosecutor with a pulse and a spine.

Please, let him finish his work!

Letitia James

We need to be ruthless and go for the fucking throat. Every fucking time Gloves off NO RULES PERIOD

gladly

General Sherman for Attorney General.

😄

Jack Smith for Starfleet captain!

We need someone like Amos t Ackerman

Garland was OED definition of,weak sauce, and Biden should've seen that and fired him

Agreed. I want assets seized, and people put in prison.

And Jasmine Crockett Deputy AG!

I would LOVE this….

Biden should have gone with Sally Yates.

Jack Smith got played by a literal nobody in Aileen Cannon, why should we hand him the AG position? Get somebody eho can perform against the equivalent of a third string QB.

No, I'd support Jack Smith even as an independent because he's at least decent. I give less of a shit about party than I do about decency.

IF he turns down the offer, still award him a Presidential Medal of Freedom to restore that award to dignity…

Jack Smith for the Supreme Court, he was a justice for the ICC

They're such different jobs, he's a bulldog prosecutor, also careful, fair, and IIRC he's never served as a judge. I'd love to see him as Attorney General.

but yes, hell yes an AG that follows the law relentlessly is exactly what the country needs

I met him at the Power To The People festival. He was so gracious and patient with all who wanted to express their appreciation. I couldn’t believe it was him at first. Brave and brilliant!

Jack Smith will make a great head of the DOJ. Had our judicial system done the right thing allowing the cases against the orange stain to go forward we would not be in this mess & he would be in jail! VOTE BLUE UP & DOWN THE TICKET. END THE CORRUPTION & CHAOS OF THIS REGIME & THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

2 years as AG and then put him on SCOTUS.

This should go for all Dem leadership. Jeffries and Schumer didn’t work for a bygone era and are woefully unprepared for this reality

Can we please stop blaming Jack Smith for the obstruction of Trump-appointed federal judges like Eileen Cannon that torpedoed his case? That shit is way out of his control. That's our control. Voters. But too many puritopian dipshits couldn't bring themselves to vote for the highly qualified women.

Absolutely the wrong choice. We need an institutionalist to rebuild institutions: we need Jack Smith as congressionally approved special counsel with all necessary powers and money to go after the criminal enterprise that is DJTrump and associates.

I generally can’t stand listening to any R talk, but that might be good enough to tune in. She would run circles around him.

I want Jack Smith warming up in the Bullpen on 1/19/29. Nominated for AG on 1/21/29, & confirmed by Senate by 1/30/29. He needs to have a Special Prosecutor in mind to try Trump's Classified documents theft & Jan. 6th Insurrection cases ASAP. It won't be like the prep work isn't already done.

That’s a novel concept 😉

A good reason not to nominate Harris in 28. She will absolutely appoint some fake neutral AG.

He would set that dept straight in a heartbeat.

Especially not another Republican? Please? He was hand picked by Bill Barr. Why not just choose Merrick Garland again, if you want a guy Trump's AG thought would be easily rolled.

@marcelias.bsky.social is the move. Keep Jack Smith in his role as investigator. Let Marc Ellias take on the widespread corruption

Can't wait for the people to try to denigrate this pick in the comments.

Is AG a powerful enough platform for the accountability we need? Elected members of the GOP need to be prosecuted over their support of the coup. Anything less does not fix our problems.

Need to reclaim justice. Impartial rule of law. W a back bone.

Yes please and thank you

If he seems hesitant, I'll fundraise for his season tickets to the Mystics. Maybe we can get the next commish to jiggle the schedule so that all their games against Indiana are Mystics home games?

He wasn’t a traitor. He did his job. SCOTUS and the FBI hamstrung him. But we need to get real.

The quality of Jack Smith, is that he IS truly neutral. Additionally he is both ethical and methodical; but most importantly, immune to the corrupting rot of desire and greed to reach his goals. I'd like to see him as AG with the proviso that once his term ended he is placed in the SCOTUS!

“Scorched earth” sounds great.

Merrick Garland is an institutionalist who has more respect for institutional norms than he has for the Constitution.

He is a man of honor and would make an outstanding AG.

There's still plenty to go after even with a neutral AG in 2029. With that being said in down going scorched earth as well!

Amen to that.

As a former Federalist who has seen the error in his ways I saw it coming decades ago.

The truth is there were NOT shenanigans in 2024 . . . it was as free & fair as other elections . . . Sad to say there really were that many racists & misogynists who refused to vote for a black woman . . . they justified Trump with “his 1st term wasn’t THAT bad, we survived it!” 🤦‍♀️

(combined w/the things Elno had said & done) never sat well with me. 2/2

It will probably be Barbara Jones. Lol

How abt nominating for SCOTUS?

Agree. I would also love to see @glennkirschner.bsky.social as AG. Both different styles. Both uphold the rule of law. Straight up no bullshite.

💯 💯 💯

They need to stop putting these people on pedestals.

He did a great job, I love the guy. But filing in Florida was a mistake. A neutral, beige mistake that cost the whole ball of wax. Half the shit happened in D.C. He made a tactical error. He is out.

Fuck neutral

Part of me wants this. More of me wants him to be allowed to finish prosecuting the job he started. But either would be excellent!!

Allison Gill for Attorney General.

I'm for Jack Smith or Sally Yates.

Basically, someone who is willing to litigate novel legal concepts, like whether a statute of limitations can be paused during a presidency, or whether some pardons are corrupt obstructions of justice.

Allison was being polite, albeit, her complaint about yet another Dem prez picking a milquetoast to be US AG is valid. WTF Joe. Let's not ruffle any feathers?! Seriously, Dwumpy picked attack dogs to be his US AG. Fortunately they were as smart as your typical Rottweiler, all teeth, no planning.

He's also registered independent as I recall. True neutral.
