Cornyn and Tillis stall Blanche confirmation vote over Trump IRS settlement.

Why are they SOOO fricking worried about that IRS settlement?

The Senate Judiciary Committee has abandoned plans to advance Todd Blanche’s nomination as attorney general Thursday, a significant speed bump that will make it difficult for Republicans to confirm him before the chamber begins its August recess next week. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) held firm Wednesday in his demand that Blanche revise a controversial settlement agreement between President Donald Trump and the IRS.

Cornyn, who was defeated for renomination earlier this year by a Trump-backed primary challenger, was explicit on the legal language he needed from Blanche — even providing the Justice Department with a revision to the agreement that would address his concerns — but an agreement could not be reached in time to have the Thursday morning vote. “We actually sent them a red-line strikeout of what we need, and they just need to make a decision,” Cornyn said earlier Wednesday, adding that he was “trying to make it easy for them.” Just one GOP “no” vote on the Senate Judiciary Committee would effectively sink Blanche’s nomination. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), another member of the panel with concerns about the settlement, said he would follow Cornyn’s lead.

Yeah, Bannon just said Cornyn is bitter and trying to exact revenge.

Tillis is doing the same thing

Who cares what Bannon has to say? Big fricking whoop.

During their tenure they didnt worry about the trillions going to USAID fraud...I loathe them beyond measure

Because it's corruption explicitly written into legislation. Not hard to figure out. Even most of the die hards here admitted it was dirty when the original story broke. The admin wants to keep it quiet until the clock runs out and people forget about it. Cornyn is actually doing his job. The payback on Trump is just a bonus.
The real question is why you're ok with a republican slush fund while screaming about USAID for the past 2 years. See post above.

What the IRS did to Trump is against the law for them to do to ANY citizen.
Just because he is a high profile citizen does not invalidate that law.

If tweet fails to load, click here. Looks like he’s assuming Republicans will retain control of the Senate. Not a given.

Sounds like they are on the committee and need to be removed asap. They don’t need to be on a committee anyways they will both be gone 6 months .

Because the "republican slush fund" is for people wronged by the government while USAID is for Malaysian trannies, progressive NGOs, and democrat campaign coffers.
Not everything that looks similar on the surface is the same. Sometimes, you actually need to look at the details.

You can supplement the finances of your favorite rioter, no one is stopping you, but legislating that the American taxpayer do it is corrupt as frick. And asking the public to trust the "guardrails" the administration supposedly will put on the money is 100% delusional. We paying the informants? The provacateurs? The re-arrested? The few convicted pedophiles confirmed to be there that day? Nah, frick that. Just kill the abomination now. And Cornyn has all the motivation in the world to get that done.

Bingo! Probably why those traitors are doing this, and whatever amount of money is being deposited into their offshore accounts.
