In an MS NOW interview, Sen. Richard Blumenthal says Blanche has "so degraded the standard and the ethics of the Justice Department" to serve the president's interests. He predicts "a really tumultuous time" for Blanche's confirmation and says even Republicans like Tillis or Cornyn may have difficulty, calling them "a little bit more liberated" now.

He has so degraded the standard and the ethics of the Justice Department. In all he's done that serve the president's interests, that deal on the president's tax immunity is absolutely abhorrent. And that's why I think even Republicans, whether it's Tillis or Cornyn, may have some difficulty. And of course, they're a little bit more liberated than they were, partly because of the decision not to go in Tullis's case for reelection, partly because of defeat in Corny's case. But I think we're going to have a really tumultuous time for him in confirmation.
