Moves at lightning speed. you never have someone interviewed by the decision maker and then have a decision the next day. so, we know that we have a president whose called repeatedly on twitter for mccabes firing. earlier in this week in the white house press briefing, sarah huckleby sanders was also character rising mccabe as a bad guy. on the other hand we have career people in the department, folks like michael horwitz, hes worked for both administrations, a straightforward kind of guy and th...

Hes served both republican and democratic administrations. this is not someone who had any apparent trump bias. >> i agree. michael horwitz has a reputation for thoroughness. mccabe disputes whether mccabe was candid but horwitz judged otherwise. my push back to ruth, i take her point, has to do with the timing of this, notwithstanding when his retirement was. its 100% clear this was driven by the white house for the petty reason of stripping him of his pension. thats wrong. thats not the way it...

Nominees. let me give you one more example of the comparison historically. in the first entire term of the george h.w. bush administration, his entire four years, he faced one cloture vote. in the entire four years of the clinton administration, he faced ten cloture votes. under the george w. bush administration, the entire first term he faced four cloture votes. barack obama faced 17 in his first entire four years. we have faced 79 in our first 14 months. that adds up to 32 combined in the enti...

17 versus 79 in the first four months of our administration. thats five times the last four administrations combined. senator schumer is essentially weaponizing a senate procedure and demanding cloture votes that he eventually supports. 11 of the presidents nominees have been approved without a single dissenting vote. still forced to go through a 30-hour of debate to slow down the senate calendar simply for the purpose of obstruction. even senate democrats have begun to call this out. to say its...
