Jeanine Pirro has a top-rated Fox News show and a forthcoming book — “Lies, Leakers, and Liberals” — but she still wants to be President Donald Trump’s attorney general.

A former prosecutor and judge, Pirro has repeatedly told Trump’s aides and advisers over the past 18 months that she’s interested in taking over as the nation’s top law enforcement official, according to four people familiar with the conversations.

Trump has dangled the possibility of giving her a top appointment. During a November meeting in the Oval Office, the president raised the possibility of nominating Pirro to a federal judgeship, according to a former administration official, though this person added that Trump was more likely engaging in flattery than seriously considering putting Pirro on the bench.

And, yes, I did read the headline as "tan - going." I thought, what? Then I figured out it was "tango - ing."

3. I just read her wiki bio

What a legacy of corruption and failure.
How on earth did this 'judge' even get this far?

7. Sounds like she'd fit right in with this current gang of criminals infesting the Executive Branch.

5. And she's not even a real judge.

On second look, she did become a judge some time ago. I had Read sometime ago where it was just bestowed on her for the TV show.

6. Judge Judy wannabe couldn't hang with the big dogs--what a loser.

I thought ratings were a big deal to Traitor Tot, but I guess she's sucking up enough to Dear Leader on TRUMPRAVDA to get his attention. He attracts big mouthed lightweights, so tragically, she'd fit right in.

8. Pirro as AG!! oh gawwwwwwwwwwwwd!

.....Pirro’s Fox News colleagues have laughed at her frequent mentions of the possibility of getting senior-level government work, according to one Fox employee. Two White House aides said they believe the president is not seriously considering bringing Pirro on to replace current Attorney General Jeff Sessions, despite Trump’s long-standing frustration with him.

But Pirro’s interest in a big administration job has nonetheless drawn notice. Trump, whose relationship with Pirro dates back decades, has demonstrated a penchant for bringing cable news stars into his administration — most recently tapping CNBC commentator Larry Kudlow to be his top economic adviser — and for making key personnel decisions without first consulting aides, including chief of staff John Kelly.

The White House declined to comment. Pirro did not respond to requests for comment.

9. "Judge" Jeanine is more suitable to scraping up roadkill on the highways, only the best highways.

She should be required to pledge not to eat them, or she could scare passersby, just as she does on Fox.
