He doesn't have the power to do that. He can appoint Rudy as a temp AG, but that's it - and Rudy would need months to figure out who in the DOJ he can trust. He'd be in the belly of the beast - they'd leak everything he's doing, warn people, and stab him right in the back. We have weeks, that's it.

Yes temp (AG) that is what I'm talking about and he won't need months to figure out who he can trust if he uses his own team for say...

That should have been done a year ago...

Except since the mid term frauds Trump's presidency has been hanging by a thread...his survival depended on probably 14 senators. He didn't want to put his fate into their hands unnecessarily. If Trump had sacked Barr they would have had the first impeachment early 202-- for "obstruction of justice" and Bill Barr as star witness against Trump.

Could be. He got boxed in. He's still standing, which is almost a miracle.

Yes, but he only needs to appoint Rudy G. to be a temp AG in order to have the AG file suit so that SCOTUS can hear the case in time to rule before January 20th. Read paragraphs 30-32 of "United States versus Throckmorton" decision on the Cornell University law library site https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/98/61

If he does a surprise, last minute switcheroo, and names Rudy G. as AG by Christmas, the 30 days from then covers up to Inauguration Day.

Trust no one, fire everyone. Let the chips fall where they may. At this point scorched earth is the only viable solution we have left.

No, we have hours. The Electoral College votes Monday. After that the President's political support will crater. The RINOS who have gritted their teeth and stayed in line will turn on him publicly. If he gives orders, they will be slow-played until Biden is inaugurated and then nullified. Come Monday, it's all over, unless POTUS or someone else does something about it.
