I think I read that right.
We need to find out if Pinocchio is a bad guy.

Pinnochio was working for Rick Scott down in FL. Not sure that clarifies anything but at least he wasn’t in the thick of D.C. forever. Someone here will know more and I’ll shut up and read.
Except to say, I am working a runoff election from 6am to 8pm tomorrow and I sure dread being out of the loop tomorrow. Think I may be awake all night tomorrow night trying to catch up again.
” I think the point of Q mentioning her was to say that they next in line after Rosenstein is gone would have been Brand but she’s out (why? black hat) and the next in line is this Pinocchio fellow.” >>>
Good way to put it, bagster. “IN LINE” is correct. Media talks about Rosenstein being PICKED by Trump, or, derisively describes these people as... “ Trump’s own selection”.
Under the AG, who is truly picked by the president, there has always been a ladder of the most experienced and senior execs, who are “eligible” for the top jobs at FBI and at Justice.
Some old crow at the department makes a recommendation from that pool of top eligibles, usually the top three get mention, and an incoming president simply takes their word for it and formalizes the arrangement.
With the exception of nominating a candidate for AG, the lessers are inside the departmental system and rise according to it.
A dangerous time for replacements, right now, given what we know.
Well, how long do you reckon his nose is? That outta tell us.
