Yeah, you're totally right.
It is.
And it has just only exponentially increased this second time around.
I'll be honest, I had forgotten about that testimony, but it was great then.
Seared into my mind.
Yeah.
So last piece of big news we wanted to cover was a Blanche confirmation question mark update.
So AG nominee, acting attorney general, Todd Blanche, a.k.a.
I'm his lawyer, er,
was his lawyer, that guy, is right now facing sort of uncertain prospects in his quest to become the actual Senate-confirmed Attorney General of these United States.
So we're recording this episode on Thursday afternoon.
And as of now, there is a real question whether Trump has the votes to get him confirmed.
Now, there should be many, many reasons not to confirm Todd Blanch, but we don't want, nor do we have time for a four-hour episode.
So we will just focus on what seems to have the most legs, which is the appalling slush fund slash immunity deal that purported to, quote, settle the $10 billion lawsuit that Trump filed against his own IRS.
Recall that as the initial pushback to the announcement of that deal got steam, Blanch went before Congress, this is an earlier testimony, not his confirmation hearing,
And he assured them that the fund was not going forward.
Then jump ahead to the actual confirmation hearing.
Outgoing Texas Senator John Cornyn seemed less than fully satisfied by just taking Todd's word that the fund wasn't happening and made clear that he wanted something in writing to that effect.
Well, it seems the administration or maybe just one Donald Trump does not want to provide that.
So we may be at kind of an impasse.
