Trump Jr. Floats Possibility Of Chris Christie As Attorney General [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | February 28, 2016 | Chuck Ross

Donald Trump Jr., the oldest son of the Republican presidential front-runner, said Sunday that it's possible that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie could have a spot waiting for him in a Trump administration -- especially in the real estate tycoon's Justice Department.

Asked by "Sunday Morning Futures" host Maria Bartiromo whether his father would choose Christie as his running mate, Trump Jr. said that he had not been a part of those conversations but that "the possibility is certainly there."

"I mean, I think there would certainly be something within the Justice Department for him," the 38-year-old Trump Jr. added, unprompted.

Christie's endorsement -- which he announced Friday at an event with Trump -- was considered something of a surprise given the establishment Republican's recent criticism of his former competitor. At a campaign event in New Hampshire earlier this month -- just before he dropped out of the race -- Christie said that while he considered Trump "a good person," he is "not the right person to be President of the United States and not the person that we'd want representing our country."(continued)

Great idea! Appoint as AG a governor of a gun-grabbing state, who REFUSED to pardon a man who was convicted of the evil crime of moving across country while owning guns! Thank you, Mr. Trump, for protecting the 2nd Amendment!

Would anyone be surprised if Trump did this?

Good questions, which Trump supporters must answer if Trump actually puts the gun-grabbing Christie over the ATF.

If Trump disbands the EPA, the ATF is already drowning.

Christie will be fine heading the DOJ. Rudy would also be a good fit. Newt as Chief of Staff.

He’d definitely be better than Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch.

Need I remind you, Christy happily signed eleven anti-2nd amendment bills into law in NJ?
Guiliani also hates the 2nd amendment.
If neither likes the Constitution or the bill of rights and cannot uphold them, why reward them with the position?

Yeah, that’s the bar you use to measure a nominee to that office.

I wonder if Walker would ever come aboard or is he standing with Mitt as well?

There is a difference being President and AG. We don’t want him as President but have no problem as AG. Very different jobs.

I think Christie could have some fun prosecuting the Obama Administration.

Christie is an Obama-hugger...are you sure he'll go after them if he is AG?

If he doesn’t listen to President Trump, he’ll be forced back to New Jersey. He’ll listen.

But not as good as someone who supports the 2nd Amendment.
