[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh this should be fun: ""I will step down when a presidentially appointed nominee is confirmed by the Senate. Until then, our investigations will move forward without delay or interruption," Berman said.[/quote]

And it makes even less sense given how close we are to the election.

Clayton has been vetted and the senate can probably move reasonably quickly, but it seems silly and McConnell probably doesn’t want to have to make this a priority over getting judges confirmed, which will have a much longer lasting impact.[/quote]

Clayton has been blue slipped by both NY Senators. He isn’t going anywhere. Now, neither is any other Trump pick. [/quote]

McConnell can ignore the blue slip, but I’m not sure he will bother here.[/quote]

Blue slips plural.  Gellibrand and Schumer both.  McConnell says he will respect blue slips here. I’m sure Clayton just wants this to go away.

My CNN scroll just said Berman had stepped down though.

Still can’t see the NY Senators letting Clayton through. Who is acting AG?[/quote]

I wouldn't be surprised if Clayton asked McConnell to respect the blue slips after this shit hit the fan.  Nice way to get out of this mess.  But I can't believe Clayton even wanted the job in the first place -- he's never even tried a case, not even civil.  Probably hasn't been in a courtroom since he was sworn into the bar.
