Re riots in Portland and the police responding. I was thinking that perhaps the police were threatened by O-Me-Me when protesters walked on the freeway and so forth - that he would sic Loretta Lynch on them. Then I realized that no new AG has been voted in yet, right? Does that mean that Lynch is still in the position? Or is there a pro temp person in right now?? tx
US Attorney Sally Yates is acting AG until the Sessions is confirmed.
Look for Jeff Sessions to be confirmed by end of the week.
No the bitch is gone.....thank goodness.....

Unless there was a specific request by the incoming administration to stay, all the political appointees leave on the last day of the prior administration. Typically, a senior civil servant (SES type) will fill in as “Acting _____” until the replacement is confirmed by the Senate.
FU Loretta Lynch.
She’s gone, but you can be sure the entire DOJ is riddled with people of her mindset.
Yates was appointed by Attorney General Eric Holder to serve as Vice Chair of the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee.
