Eric Schneiderman has been a thorn in Donald Trump's side as New York attorney general. Schneiderman and Trump have butted heads in part because Schneiderman was the attorney general in Trump's home state, yes. But that assumes Schneiderman's replacement doesn't pick up right where he left off and isn't just as tough a foe. And big names are already floating around, including those of former U.S. attorney general Loretta E. Lynch and former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara. Update: The acting attorney general, Barbara Underwood, just issued a statement saying "our work continues without interruption."
