John Cornyn: “Are you aware or can you confirm that Mr. Axelrod participated in that? And wouldn't that concern you?”

I think I am prepared to vote no, but I do think I owe it to my constituents and to Mr. Blanche to try to negotiate in good faith.

Liberating is how he described his negotiating power.

He’s lazy and doesn’t raise money. And he basically is not offering a very compelling case for his election.

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