Donald Trump is on one hell of a losing streak, and things are going so badly for him that he’s on the verge of pulling the nomination of Todd Blanche to be the next attorney general because two key GOP senators have made it clear they cannot and will not vote to confirm him.
“The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a vote on acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination, a spokesperson said late Wednesday, as two retiring Republicans on the panel dug in over President Donald Trump’s personal “anti-weaponization” deal with the government he runs,” MS NOW reported Thursday afternoon.
“Sen. Chuck Grassley’s decision to delay the committee vote that had been set for Thursday marks a setback for one of Trump’s highest-profile Cabinet nominees, at the hands of Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, a pair of Republicans set to leave the chamber next year.”
Shortly after that report broke, Trump went on social media and wrote, “Todd Blanche is a STAR, and everyone knows it! Trump. He has the potential to go down as one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time.”
“I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office.”
Cornyn immediately fired back at Trump.
“POTUS is mistaken if he believes concerns about the provisions in his tax lawsuit settlement are limited to me and Senator Tillis,” he responded on Twitter/X.
The bad news, however, is that Blanche will remain acting AG, meaning the remainder of the Epstein files will remain hidden, in direct violation of a federal law that Trump himself signed.
However, if the midterm elections turn out to be a predicted blue wave, both Trump and Blanche could find themselves impeached and removed from office. Here’s hoping that happens sooner rather than later after the ballots are counted in November. Both of them are cancers on this country.
