Yesterday the United States Senate voted 56-43 to confirm Loretta Lynch as the next Attorney General. The reaction, as Jodi noted, was decidedly mixed. Even the President decided to weigh in:

In written statement, Pres Obama needles Senate for "finally" confirming Loretta Lynch. But says "America will be better off for it."

The President’s needling Nanner Nanner statement reads as follows:

Today, the Senate finally confirmed Loretta Lynch to be America’s next Attorney General – and America will be better off for it. Loretta has spent her life fighting for the fair and equal justice that is the foundation of our democracy. As head of the Justice Department, she will oversee a vast portfolio of cases, including counterterrorism and voting rights; public corruption and white-collar crime; judicial recommendations and policy reviews – all of which matter to the lives of every American, and shape the story of our country. She will bring to bear her experience as a tough, independent, and well-respected prosecutor on key, bipartisan priorities like criminal justice reform. And she will build on our progress in combatting newer threats like cybercrime. Loretta’s confirmation ensures that we are better positioned to keep our communities safe, keep our nation secure, and ensure that every American experiences justice under the law.

I like how he used the word “finally” as if we’d been waiting for YEARS to confirm Eric Holder’s clone to the Attorney General’s position. Perhaps we will be better off with Loretta as the new Attorney General. I’m sure we can count on her to actually prosecute crimes rather than sweeping them under the rug or giving them a pass … RIGHT? Oh I know!! She’ll actually follow the law and adhere to our Constitution rather than letting the President throw out Executive Orders willy nilly… RIGHT?  When Loretta walks into her office next Monday or Tuesday after she is sworn in, I have to wonder if one of her first priorities will involve a former Secretary of State who happens to be running for President.

Perhaps this will do the trick. As of yesterday, its become very apparent that Hillary Clinton and her Clinton Foundation have huge bags of cash up their pantsuits…er sleeves. Each bag of Clinton Cash involves Russia, Putin, and Uranium. That’s quite the RESET button combo right there dontcha think? Well, Jo Becker and Mike McIntyre of the New York Times tell us its even worse than we thought:
