The Trump administration has put its search for the Justice Department’s No. 3 official on the back burner after failing to persuade several candidates to take the challenging position, according to people familiar with the matter, in the latest sign of the difficulties besetting the agency.

The department lacks permanent, politically appointed leaders to oversee at least five high-profile units, including the criminal, civil and tax divisions. And it has been a frequent target of attacks by President Donald Trump for what he claims are its shortcomings, including its handling of the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election that he has repeatedly called a “witch hunt” and allegations of misconduct by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

On Tuesday, Mr. Trump took aim again at his attorney general, saying on Twitter that someone in the post other than Jeff Sessions could have avoided “so much time and money wasted, so many lives ruined” by the Russia probe, which is being led by special counsel Robert Mueller and overseen by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Lets face it, who would want to touch that shitshow.

1. No appointee for the Tax division; huh

I wonder if Lord Littlehands thinks if he doesn't appoint someone for the position, the division stops working?

2. However

with Trump's track record, if he appointed somebody to the role, it would start to destroy the division they were heading.

3. Incompetent and unreliable

'Trump' on your CV is certain career suicide. Plus who'd want to work with that incompetent, unreliable a-hole?
