Lol the AG would become very political and would do things for purely partisan/re-election reasons.

The Attorney General would be no more politicized than it became under the Trump administration.  At least under this new system, he or she would owe their job not to the President, but to the American people, and so cannot be summarily fired if they refuse to do the bidding of the President. 
You do realize the AG would probably be much less competent and more partisan? Ted Cruz could be the AG rn lol

The AG is getting increasingly politicized and if the people want to elect Ted Cruz, they should have that decision

Why is the neoliberal answer to every problem "more democracy"?
Authentic populism means that everyone has a say
