@msnbc: Rachel Maddow explains why nominees for high office are typically vetted thoroughly. "How about if a guy got his job only because the contents of an official government report into his alleged child sex trafficking was politically suppressed, and he's therefore desperate to keep that hidden from the public, while, among many other people involved in the process, at least 10 members of Congress have that report that he is desperate to keep hidden. Is that a good situation for the attorney general of the United States to be in?" Maddow asks.
