who has more power in the justice department; a lawyer or a judge?

did you read it. trump does not pick his successor. It was picked in 2013 and he knows who it is. This is cake and eat it to.

wrong!

the judge has more power because they can set precedent.

So. He knows his replacement is good and can do that job for him and is younger and can stay at the post longer. I just don't know how to explain this. You are wrong. What he is doing is the smartest thing to do.
