On Friday, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana took to the Senate floor to announce his intent to vote for Todd Blanche, Donald Trump’s nominee to be attorney general. Blanche has become a referendum on how people feel about President Trump,” he said. Before elevating Blanche, Trump fired the previous attorney general, Pam Bondi, in part because she failed to prosecute his political opponents fast enough. So why confirm Blanche if his commitments aren’t satisfactory? Trump may be “unrelenting” in his pursuit of political prosecutions, Cassidy added, “but this will be true no matter who the attorney general is.”
