By delaying any investigation or prosecution of Trump until almost two years after he became attorney general, Garland hamstrung Jack Smith, the dogged and beleaguered special counsel, leaving little time for the predictable unpredictabilities of two high-stakes prosecutions. Both were as solid as federal cases get, and now neither has any chance of being completed before the election, leaving voters without clear legal conclusions about Trump’s responsibility for the Jan. 6 riot and the highly classified documents he took from the White House.

    Roy Cooper is on the short list. He was also short listed for VP.

    He was elected statewide in NC as AG and Governor. He did a great job.

    Currently, he can’t leave the state because the Lieutenant Governor is the craziest MF you ever heard of and would be acting Governor if he leaves.

    Cooper is term limited at the end of the year.
