Trump Says He May Drop Blanche’s Attorney General Nomination, for Now (Gift Article)

Trump would rather pull Blanche’s nomination for AG than allow him to commit in writing that Trump’s IRS deal is off. The immunity Blanche granted to Trump from IRS audits is a windfall that some experts estimate is worth $100 million in taxpayer funds for Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

The crucial information here isn't about Blanche, who will continue on as Acting. It's that Trump REALLY REALLY REFUSES to commit to abolishing the January 6 Slush Fund or to giving up any part of his above-the-law get-out-of-audits-free card. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

The thing I wish that more Democrats and threatened universities and vilified news organizations understood better about Trump is this: He never has a second move. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

Looks like Todd Blanche is going to be 86’d. Couldn’t have happened to a bigger sleazeball. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

How is this a “threat”? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/us/politics/trump-blanche-attorney-general-cornyn-tillis.html

The Blanche fiasco has nothing to do with Blanche. It's about Trump shoving the J6 slush fund and his IRS immunity scam down the throats of senators and the public. This is unadulterated fascist corruption. We have to fight this evil today, unwind it in the future. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

“[P]ulling Mr. Blanche’s nomination, even temporarily, would demonstrate Mr. Trump’s willingness to advance his personal interests over the institutional stability embodied by a Senate-confirmed attorney general.” Wasn’t it already obvious Trump would put his personal interest over anything?

This article points out exactly how corrupt our president is, in that he's insisting on this "immunity from IRS prosecution" that his Acting AG Blanche is upholding for him. It turns my stomach. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

“Even with Mr. Cornyn’s requested changes, the audit protection for Mr. Trump would still be an unprecedented gift to a sitting president, effectively exempting him from the legal requirement for all Americans to comply with the nation’s tax laws — or face I.R.S. scrutiny.”

don’t threaten me with a good time

The two republicans were both defeated in primaries by Trump backed candidates. When Trump finally goes, there’ll be so many republicans who’ll say “We always knew he was unhinged.” Don’t let them be absolved. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

I truly don't get it. Is this really a "threat"? Seems more like an abject surrender ... www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

This certainly gives away the slush-fund game but what’s the threat? That he’ll find someone even more corrupt to nominate? www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

Republicans are suddenly “alarmed by his lack of concern for their political fortunes…& willingness to advance his personal interests over institutional stability.”🤣 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

Trump: "I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office,” Or there could be a D majority then which would never confirm Blanche. Watch TB go back to acting AG www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

“Todd Blanche’s nomination to become attorney general suffered a serious blow on Thursday when Trump threatened to withdraw Blanche’s name rather than place limits on a tax immunity deal that would benefit himself and his family, as demanded by 2 Republican senators.” #corruption #TrumpCrimeFamily

Threatens to?? I don't understand this headline. Who is threatened by that possibility? www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

For a guy demanding total loyalty, Trump just blew up his own AG pick because two Republicans wouldn't jump.

Trump threatens or promises? Blanche and Trump are engaged in a pattern of public corruption. If Blanche were not running the DoJ he might very well be the subject of criminal investigation. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

I keep wondering, why is it so seldom asked - why do Trump and his kids need total tax immunity? Why? What do they need that for? WTF? Who demands that, in the sneakiest way possible? Crooks, that's who.

Tax audit immunity? A blank check for committing tax evasion, without historical or legal precedence. Instead of putting its initiator in prison, they’re talking about making the man AGOTUS, if he only makes some minor adjustments to the immunity deal. But Trump’s unwilling to accept that condition.

Oh yeah don’t threaten me with a good time www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...
