John Cornyn: “So that would effectively raise the tax burden on American oil and gas producers?”

If this were just between me and Todd Blanche, we would have worked this out, but, apparently, he’s getting some pushback from higher-ups at the White House. I don’t know who, but it doesn’t need to be this hard.

It binds not only him but the Department of Justice as a whole, and so I think that satisfies my demands.

It would be a monumental mistake for Blanche to attempt to resurrect the $1.8 billion program in another form.

I think that’s a real danger. And I think in any election, it’s not enough to disparage your opponent. You got to talk about the positive things that you’re doing for people.
