Blanche admitted that he’s here to serve as Trump’s personal lawyer

DISQUALIFYING

[Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins]

SDNY alum Elie Honig analyzes Jay Clayton's testimony, arguing, "Jay Clayton has one year as head of the SDNY. Big job, not a national intelligence job. Does not remotely equip you to be the DNI."

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

This is a remarkable exchange

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

KELLY: Can you tell me why Joe Biden was certified as the winner of the 2020 election?

CLAYTON: ... I really ... Uhm ... I don't want to continue to debate about this, but I believe he had the most electoral votes

KELLY: So he won the election?

CLAYTON: ... hahehe

KELLY: Trump isn't even in the room today. You're gonna be in the room with him. And if you can't disagree with him ...

[Acyn @Acyn]

Welch: Mel Gibson punched his then girlfriend in the teeth, threatened her with a gun while she had their infant in her arms. You asked, or one of your people asked Liz Oyer to provide a letter that basically said, okay, we can restore his gun rights. Is that correct?

Blanche: That happened the day I was starting

Welch: Two days after.

[Harry Litman @harrylitman]

Senator Hirono pretty effective. Good pace and pressure. Direct questions. & ends w/ litany of sins

"Mr Blanche, it is clear to me that...you see nothing wrong w/ the president treating DOJ as a personal law firm to prosecute his enemies and help his friends."

Goes to slush fund--recites Williams' findings. Urges rejection

[Tara Setmayer 🌻 🇺🇸 @TaraSetmayer]

BINGO.
Blanche is still acting as Trump’s attorney and is using the DOJ’s power to protect him and others.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

“I’m his lawyer.”
There it is.

[Chuck Todd @chucktodd]

It’s may seem silly and trollish to have to ask the question and yet to watch this Trump nominee sit there and be so obviously afraid of answering is alarming and should be a bigger deal than it will be seen as. He was willing to admit Trump pardoned a convicted drug kingpin, but he couldn’t admit Trump lost the 2020 election. This is the damage Trump has done to our politics and this guy is supposed to be trusted with American intelligence? And yet, he might be an upgrade from the previous occupant in this office.

2028 can't get here soon enough

@HQNewsNow @ossoff Bravo @ossoff
His entire line of questioning is how it should be done.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Sen. @Ossoff: Who won the 2020 election?

DNI nominee Jay Clayton: I'm not going to do this with you

Ossoff: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee.

Clayton: I'm not gonna get into that with you

Ossoff: You refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election, but you ask to lead America's intelligence community. Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question? To have to indulge the president's delusions?

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to compel New Mexico to provide the DOJ with access to its complete statewide voter registration database.

DOJ is now 0-15 in these cases. Elias Law Group and its clients are undefeated! https://t.co/cYpXZAui9l

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

Companies with ties to President Trump’s sons have received huge defense-related contracts. I asked the nominee who will help run the Defense Department’s finances if he would sign off on these contracts, given the clear conflict of interest.

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

What is the true cost of the war in Iran? I did some back-of-the-envelope math since the Trump Administration won't tell us.

@Acyn “Ruler”. Smh. Pathetic even for Tim Scott

[Kyle Keegan @realKyleKeegan]

This one is getting less sarcastic by the week.

[hi, no thanks @HmmVryIntrstng]

@atrupar it's basically a meme at this point, but it's 100% accurate to say republicans are north korean style propagandists for trump

it's fucking embarrassing

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

@atrupar This is what blind loyalty looks like in real time. Joni Ernst proving once again that MAGA politicians will defend anything as long as Trump says it.

[Kyle Keegan @realKyleKeegan]

Is having a law that prevents confirmation of an AG if he is under disbarment proceedings going to be another one of those laws we never passed because we never imagined this shit would happen?
