Answer: no. He said no two weeks ago, he said no a week ago, and he's said no today. The answer, it appears beyond clear, is no:
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara is not doing much to encourage speculation that he's on the short list to be the next attorney general. And he's not exactly discouraging it either.
Bharara's profile has grown steadily in his five years as head of one of the nation's most high-profile federal prosecutor's offices. He made the cover of Time magazine for his aggressive pursuit of Wall Street fraudsters. He's overseen the biggest civilian terrorism cases. And he stood up to Governor Andrew Cuomo over his dismantling of an anti-corruption commission.
As recently as this week, Bharara used humor to deflect speculation he's among a handful of potential candidates for the job being vacated by Attorney General Eric Holder — a promotion that would make him the first Indian-American ever to serve on the cabinet."
So here's the problem: When you have a very proud Indian mother and a vacancy seems to be coming open, she will call all the newspapers and say please put me on the list," he said at a recent public appearance. "So I've told my mom to stop calling."
He added: "I'm very happy doing my job. And that's all I'm going to say."
Yeah, yeah, I know, he didn't come out and say, "I don't want to be Barack Obama's reichfuehrer and I'm not going to be". But it sure sounds like that's what he's powerfully hinting. And yeah, yeah, I know, he could be playing "hard to get". But it'd be awfully, er, hard to score through metaphorical legs closed that tightly.
Would Bharara be a good partisan and ideological fit?:
"The focus on [pro-jihadist "lawfare"], the focus on [pro-Regime corruption and opposition suppression], the focus on [anti-white apartheid and starting race wars] — I think all those things are incredibly important," he said. "My sense is the priorities are pretty good and in line with how we go about things."...
Before he became U.S. attorney, Bharara was U.S. Senator Charles Schumer's chief counsel, helping to lead the investigation into the firings of nine U.S. attorneys under President George W. Bush.
Yes. Yes, he would. Elsewise, he wouldn't hold his current job in the Regime.
But the question is this: Why would Barack Obama want a candidate from a low-ranking ethnic constituency group who is burdened with two testicles when he can hit the jackpot with California Reichfuhrer Kamala Harris?
She's got the same professional, partisan, and ideological qualifications as Bharara, she's actually been a corrupt hard-left A-G - heck, she's the Obama Girl....
....with a law degree.
The best part of all? No testicles. And since The One is, after all, the first "gay president," there's no possibility of his having to stride triumphantly into the Rose Garden/East Room/Warren G. Harding Memorial Whoopie Nook and declare, "I did not have sexual relations with a woman - uh, uh, uh, I mean, that woman, Ms. Harris."
No, folks, the frontrunner to replace Eric "The Red" Holder does not reside in lower Manhattan, but in The World's Anus (aka Sacramento). Besides, if Ms. Harris is literally the next Obama Girl, I doubt she's even capable of playing hard to get.
