One interesting detail about likelihood Dems take Senate: it makes the Merrick Garland AG move possible. But Dems just won bc of black outreach. Will Garland's record on crime be a deal-killer?
Folks: If Biden were going to pick Jones as his first choice, he would have done so already. He was waiting on the outcome of GA. Assuming Ossoff's win sticks, that eliminates the risk in a Garland appointment.
Adding, I really think people are overestimating the degree to which the AG will personally make the decision on a Trump prosecution. Any case that is enough of a slam-dunk to charge him with will be one that the chain of command at DOJ will support.
