Maybe these angry senators should write some conflict of interest bills to stop Trump from appointing his personal cronies to positions of power?

Because they are going to lose their jobs. They can’t have something so blatantly corrupt

I don’t give a single shit what Republicans do behind closed doors. Until they do the same in public and actually take action, they are obsequious cowards who’ve abandoned their oaths.

They don’t really care about the corruption, they’re just worried about how this will play in their re-election campaigns in November.
In a few days time the DOJ & Fat Orange will make some meaningless concession, probably some un-enforceable rule that they will not pay off thugs who attacked police (a rule that they will ignore after November). And Cruz and all the other Repugnicants will get to say that they opposed the slush fund when they campaign.

Of course the GOP would be angry the math doesn’t add up.
You are willing to upset millions of voters during a midterm year to appease a few thousand people who most likely were already going to vote for you or can’t because they have a felon conviction so they can’t vote even if they wanted to.
Republicans then have to go back to their districts and explain why a bunch of people who attacked the US and served jail time for their crimes deserve to get paid on top of a pardon.
This is also coming from the party of fiscal responsibility by the way. The party that has been screaming for nearly 50 years on how we gotta pull ourselves up by the boot straps and personality responsibility.
Republicans are going to face a political tsunami and that was before this vague as hell slush fund.

GOP senators are not concerned about the corruption but about how this will affect the midterms.

Ted Cruz is fine with it.

“Where’s my money! I want a slice of that pie!”
That’s what they were screaming.

The thing about pardons is…accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. How can you claim that you are a victim of malicious prosecution when you have already admitted your guilt in that prosecution?

On the one hand, I love this for Blanche.
On the other hand, these GOP lickspittles facilitated this every step of the way. What the fuck did they expect?

There’s going to come a day when Todd Blanche’s house of cards collapses and the schadenfreude is going to be spectacular.

The real question I have is what is Ted Cruz’s motivation to want to go on the record with all of this in such an emphatic way.
He can’t seriously be harboring delusions at this point of casting himself as a dissenter, can he?

Yet no Congressional representative stopped the madness, do they are all complicit. You either hold the president and DOJ accountable or you are part of the problem!

Cruz says “the legal basis is quite sound.”
Yeah, right.
