The word is Rudy Giuliani is a leading candidate for Secretary of State. On the surface this doesn’t make much sense, but Rudy has been very loyal and useful to Trump and he feels that, as a top Justice Department official 30 years ago, he’s outgrown what should be the obvious slot for him, attorney general. The fundamental question here, though, is whether President-elect Trump is going to build an administration best-suited to succeed or build an administration to suit the preferences of his backers. It should clearly be the former, and common sense says people should go where they have the most knowledge and experience. It is true of any administration that events start flying at it fast and furious from the very beginning. And there’s no substitute for top personnel that don’t need on-the-job training. Giuliani is highly qualified to be the attorney general of the United States, which is one of the most important and prestigious positions in government. Most people would consider it a plum, not a consolation prize. For the sake of his presidency (not to mention the nation), Trump should choose the foreign-policy expert John Bolton for State and the law-enforcement expert Rudy Giuliani for A.G.
