He wasn't attorney general, isn't attorney general, and 3 years ago no one had any inkling he might become acting AG.

Your comment amounts to "wet streets cause rain!"

Are you arguing that he became Acting Attorney General* because he he got money in a weird scheme for a "conservative advocacy group?"

No. I'm arguing that no one bribed him with the intent of having an AG in their pocket because no one had a clue 3 years ago he'd be (possibly illegally) made acting AG.
