“Where is there any proof of such a threat?”
“Republicans have warned President Donald Trump that they would not hold a confirmation hearing this year for any nominee to replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who is under fire from the president.
And they shut down the prospect of a recess appointment as well.
Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which would hold such a hearing, said in a tweet on Wednesday night that there was “no way” it would hold one in 2017.”
So the Grassley Army of One is it?
That statement from Grassley was made last July. Much more information has been made known since then. I can tell you from personal knowledge that Sen. Grassley is no longer committed to Jeff Sessions.
