John Cornyn: “I hope I have made it clearly.”

This is unfortunately shaping up to be a close and I hope not disastrous election.

President Trump needs someone in this role, as well with a strong legal mind, but who also is close enough to him to give him confidential legal advice to tell him hard truths.

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

If it would make a difference in the outcome, I'm fine with that, but it won't make a difference, which I don't believe it will, that it's an act of futility," Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital.
