We’ve reached a point with Pruitt that this is really the only explanation that I can see for him still having a job. If I’m wrong, please enlighten me. https://twitter.com/waltshaub/status/982056240619585536 …

About the AG-in-waiting theory: Yes, it’s possible, but there’s no reason to believe Trump would actually ~need~ Pruitt for the role — unless there’s already some tacit (or actual, who knows) agreement that he would do “what needs to be done” if Trump decides to fire Sessions.

Is that why he’s keeping him around? Possible, though I don’t think so. Walt’s point as I understood it — and the point I was making — is more about the others, beyond Trump himself, and why ~they~ are not being more critical of Pruitt, let alone calling for his resignation.

Pruitt is still around, in my estimation, for the same reason the judicial nominees are, by and large, a FedSoc convention’s dreamcasting: Trump knows judges and deregulation are what keep him in with the Republican Party, so he will do all he can to keep those going.
