He's good on all that.
But when it comes to the question of, well,
Are the rest of the documents going to be put forth?
Are there going to be additional investigations?
I can't imagine he has a good answer to that.
He could lie, I guess, and say we're looking into it or whatever.
But I think it's pretty clear that if you put in the point person for the Epstein cover-up and at the top of the Department of Justice, the Epstein cover-up will continue.
So I think that is an important part of his confirmation.
The other part is...
The nomination for attorney general is not going to be the thing that makes or breaks the Republican senators in these swing Senate states.
Obviously, it's just not an issue that is that broadly of concern to the public.
But it's still pretty noteworthy that you will have Husted, Sullivan, and Collins as
three people who are going to claim to be moderate, claim to be middle of the road, you know, claim to be sensible Republicans as they run for reelection in Alaska, Ohio and Maine, respectively.
You would think that Trump would need at least one of them in order to get Blanche confirmed.
And, you know, I haven't heard anything from any of them.
I think that it puts him in a little bit of a tough political position.
It's hard for you to kind of look at me with a straight face and say Susan Collins is a moderate that needs to be defended in the Senate if she's even open to the idea of confirming the person that...
orchestrated the Epstein cover-up that came up with the cockamamie slush fund that was going to pay $1.8 billion to insurrectionists.
And Blanche is obviously unqualified for this job on so many levels.
And I think that will be one of several things that put somebody like Collins in a tough spot.
