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.
Clayton has been blue slipped by both NY Senators. He isn’t going anywhere. Now, neither is any other Trump pick.
McConnell can ignore the blue slip, but I’m not sure he will bother here.
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?

Don’t the people in the WH know that the President can’t have anything to do with the firing or demotion of Berman who is overseeing several investigations concerning the President or his associates. Who is giving the President counsel and advice in the WH? Whoever it is did not serve him well at all.
