Seems legit to me.
The same goes for Europe. Except they make money off transfers to Africa instead of the Americas. Well they make money off that too in Europe.
The succession question is actually a bit complicated. By default, under an obscure statute known as the the Vacancies Reform Act of 1998, Brand’s temporary successor as the “acting” associate attorney general is her principal deputy, Jesse Panuccio. That same statute would also allow the president to choose someone else to serve as the “acting” AAG on a temporary basis for up to 210 days; the pool of individuals from which the president could draw in this case includes individuals already holding Senate-confirmed positions elsewhere in the executive branch (like EPA administrator Scott Pruitt) or senior civil service lawyers in the Justice Department, specifically.
So if the president wanted someone other than Panuccio to be acting AAG, he’d have plenty of choices, at least on a temporary basis. Of course, Trump is also free to formally nominate anyone to replace Brand on a permanent basis, but that option would require Senate confirmation.
However, because Panuccio is not Senate-confirmed, he would not act as attorney general (or deputy attorney general) if those offices were also to become vacant. Instead, under the Justice Department’s own succession statute and guidelines implementing that law issued by Attorney General Loretta Lynch in November 2016, Brand is replaced in that line of succession by Solicitor General Noel Francisco (the solicitor general is the nation’s chief legal representative in front of the Supreme Court).
>When does the clock run out?
For Panuccio I think the clock runs out around the beginning of September (around the 7th to the tenth depending on the day, he exactly took office) based on the 210 days, and Rachel Brand resining on February 9th.
Either way looks like Noel Francisco is the man if RR ever gets dropped.

TRUST (Noel Francisco)?
