RETIRED FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE MIKE MUKASEY TO BE NOMINEE FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

"Mike Mukasey is the leading candidate and almost certainly will be the nominee for the attorney general," said Kristol, a regular panelist on "FOX News Sunday," who first wrote the news in an online version of his magazine late Saturday.
"I think the president will make the nomination tomorrow. Mukasey is a retired almost-20-year federal district judge in New York, extremely well-respected. I think he'll be easily confirmed," Kristol said.
