Todd Blanche’s nomination to become Attorney General is moving forward after the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday advanced his nomination in a vote along party lines. Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis supported Blanche after he gave them memos stating the Justice Department would not move forward with President Trump's so-called ‘anti-weaponization fund’ and clarified the terms of the President's tax audit immunity agreement with the IRS. But legal experts and former DOJ officials warn Blanche’s written assurances can be easily reversed or evaded. The Morning Joe panel discusses the reversal of the GOP holdouts.
