Trump colluded with Russia they said..... Trump laundered Russian money through properties he didn't even own they said..... Muller will indict him they said...... The SDNY will indict him they said.......
Mitch will let them have their fun for a bit. Then it will end or, rather, be ended. All senators agree that a u.s. attorney nomination should not be advanced in committee before hearing from the home state senators. That has been the rule/courtesy for decades. But if/when and if evolves/devolves into "I am not going to give my approval to anyone who is a republican" then their are prodecures for moving the nomination if you have the vote overall in the senate. Watch out for 3-dimensional chess too. Bill Barr has quite a few people he would love to put into that southern district office. If he needs to toss a bone to the dems by giving them a hollow victory on his first pick, then wait til you see who he has Trump nominee next. Mat Whitaker probably. It's the same game with the judges. Mitch is getting his judges. BIGTIME. If he loses one after months of dem grandstanding against one of them, they just slide in another. Meanwhile, Barr just wanted Berman gone, and Berman is gone.
As many will recall, it was just the week before last of so that Lindsey Graham announced that subpoenas for a whole pile off bad actors had been issues and that they would be called before his committee. This, of course, set off a solid coordinated campaign between the DNC and their media surrogates to cry big, big, big tears over the notion of holding investigations during a national pandemic and how that should be the national priority, blah, blah, blah. Yet, this week we see a big surge in calls for an investigation into Bill Barr's firing of the u.s. attorney. Yup, the lefties are all crying about how their is a national duty to hold investigations on that. Funny how dat virus works.
