Earlier this month, Freedom Center Investigates reported that Tony West, Kamala’s brother-in-law and the shadow man behind her campaign, was a potential pick for attorney general in her administration.

Now, Politico mentioned that West appears to be a front-runner for attorney general.

So, who might succeed Garland? My conversations make clear there are plenty of names of potential Democrats in the mix — some of which have been previously reported and others that have not.

They include people like Tony West, Harris’ brother-in-law and a former high-ranking official in the Obama Justice Department, whose name has already shown up in some early reports. Other possible contenders who have thus far largely flown under the radar include North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, who previously worked as the state’s attorney general and introduced Harris at the Democratic convention, and Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, another former state attorney general and convention speaker.

Tony West took charge of the Kamala campaign early on. He brought in Eric Holder, his old boss, and together they vetted VP candidates. West had already been promoted by BLM adjacent figures during the Biden administration for attorney general. But there was one issue. And it would be an even bigger issue.

Sharpton brought up West’s name during discussions about Biden’s next attorney general. He warned that there should be no hesitation in providing Tony West with a “waiver”. A possible reason for such a waiver would have been to exempt West from anti-nepotism rules due to Kamala’s position. While the Biden team did not listen to Crump and Sharpton, and did not pursue such a waiver, it is likely that Kamala would be more motivated to do so than Biden.

And there’s little doubt that it would happen.

Kamala’s family members, specifically her sister Maya, husband Tony, and daughter Meena, have been crucial figures in shaping her previous campaigns. Maya ran her previous presidential campaign into the ground. Any Kamala administration would be shaped by family members and Tony West would be a key figure in it.

That’s why it’s a good idea to read the  Freedom Center Investigates profile of Tony West.

Tony West helped set America on fire by legitimizing BLM assaults on law enforcement and the justice system. He brokered some of the most corrupt settlements in the DOJ’s history.

And the next time you see him, he might be the attorney general.
