Christie wont be AG because of Bridgegate. There was a report floating around this morning that he's more or less been kicked out of the inner circle because even Trump was disgusted by it.

Yeah Christie shouldn't be getting any cabinet position, he's too toxic now. Bridgegate is so fucking stupid that it has killed his career, no reason for Trump to associate that with his office.

Given how much he seems to value loyalty over literally any level of qualifications for a given position, it's growing increasingly likely that he'll throw out that Heritage Foundation list and just nominate his sister to the Supreme Court to replace Scalia.
 
Bolton can still get another position...

Bolton not getting the SoS undercuts much of his capacity for harm, international relations is where he is most dangerous. The new concerns are Jeff Sessions, Sheriff David Clarke and God forbid,Sheriff Joe Arpaio, some of the most racially antagonistic people in America being considered for important domestic policy roles.
 
Does Congress need to confirm all of his appointments?

There is the possibility that all these initial appointments get denied. Democrats won't have the votes to shoot down the nominations, but they can ask questions, and those new consulting stories are troubling.

Republicans have a Senate majority, why would any questions asked by Democrats matter at all?
