Who would Trump choose for AG if Gaetz were denied the nomination?

He says he wants Gaetz and has mentioned no one else? Does that mean no one else will agree to make all the investigations disappear?

Or will they even need an AG for the dirty work if the Justice Dept drops all the charges ahead of time? We do not know what their plan is at this time.

I have little doubt but that Gaetz has an agreement with Trump to clear the slate. But, who does he get if Gaetz is denied?
