Honestly, I think that the amount of waste is too overwhelming for just a few people to sniff out and eliminate.
Which ones were not lawyers? I don't believe any in recent/modern years.
Not a fan of Jennings after he blatantly lied in an Op-Ed to Courier Journal about a youth baseball game incident. I was there, saw it all go down and he omitted a lot of facts that were important just to push his agenda. He lives in Louisville.
Yes. You are correct. None in recent years, for sure. But, there have been a few, but it was a long time ago. I was surprised to see that being a member of the bar is not an actual requirement. I falsely assumed it has always been an automatic. There have been some appointed with very minimal legal experience, however. RJK was certainly one., as I learned last night from another poster here. Thanks for the reply and the interest.
This is going to be much bigger than two guys going out to talk to people. The business case is so large they could call in Deloitte, PWC whomever to come in and audit an entire organization and get answers pretty quickly, especially if you hire senior resource. The political/judicial challenges won't hold water once they have a plan together. I am very excited to see how this progresses and what the resulting changes will be.
I don't think the AG is a figurehead position at all. That person has the entire federal law enforcement machine at their disposal.
I think Gaetz himself has mentioned getting rid of the FBI. That's as dumb as "defund the police". Gaetz won't be in charge of "burning it down". He'll be in charge of running it, which is a different thing altogether.
Gaetz will be in a position to make meaningful changes........no one wants to "burn it down"..........but the DOJ needs some serious house cleaning......
He certainly can make meaningful policy changes. For example, the DOJ's policy under Biden is to use the Sherman Antitrust Act to go after a bunch of proposed mergers which I believe has harmed the economy and slowed down M&A activity. I hope he will change that although I'm not sure of what Trump thinks about that.
Hope and would think he meant 'get rid of politically biased brass at' FBI... Getting rid of the FBI is a non-starter.
Threatened maybe, but filed no. Truth is, under the Trump admin more mergers were stalled and charges filed. Under the Biden admin filings stayed steady or decreased while requests for mergers went through the roof. So yet again Biden did jack and ish.

Well maybe you think Lina Kahn at FTC is doing a good job as she's also going after what she believes are antitrust violations. I'm not a big fan of the federal government interfering with economic activity in that way (unless it is just an obvious and egregious antitrust issue). I also was not a fan at all of Kahn's attempt to ban non-compete agreement which was since enjoined by a TX federal court. I have to think that Kahn and her way of thinking will be out once the Trump administration gets going. On the other hand, Trump is not really "pro business" in the traditional Republican sense.Threatened maybe, but filed no. Truth is, under the Trump admin more mergers were stalled and charges filed. Under the Biden admin filings stayed steady or decreased while requests for mergers went through the roof. So yet again Biden did jack and ish.
I wish the government would take anit-trust much more seriously. Too few companies own way to much equity in the economy, and letting it get worse bodes ill for the future.

Kash Patel was who I saw mentioned.
These are the asshats who want to actively subvert the will of the voters and keep the US government run by an oligarchy. They don't want what the majority of Americans mandated.
Would DeSantis play? Have no idea what kind of relationship they have.

My gut: They got together after the primary and buried the hatchet. Things were said, there was chuckling. They acknowledged that it was just business and that they're on the same team. Both pledged to work together going forward.
