THE GAP AT DOJ

This is about the DoJ and how its vacant positions leave Obama appointees in charge.

Excerpt:

President Trump and Attorney General Sessions have done their part to remedy the situation. As is clear from the roster presented above, Trump submitted nominations for all but one of the five vacant Assistant Attorney General positions. He did so many months ago.

The problem is with the Senate. Despite the fact that Republicans have a majority in that chamber, and even though the filibuster for nominees was abolished, Majority Leader McConnell has failed to obtain a vote for any of people selected for the vacant AAG positions. Nor, as far as I can tell, is a vote imminent.

The fault for many things is with the senate.  The majority leader in particular.

The problem could be with McConnell but if some Senators balk then they do.

The Senate is a viper pit.
