RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska on Friday announced she will oppose Todd Blanche’s nomination for Attorney General.

Murkowski said the weaponization fund, handling of the release of the Epstein files, and sweeping immunity protections granted to President Trump and his family are a few reasons why she is opposing Blanche.

Earlier this week RINO Senator Susan Collin said she would vote ‘no’ on Todd Blanche’s nomination.

Both Senators Collins and Murkowski voted to confirm Biden’s radical Attorney General Merrick Garland.

On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Todd Blanche’s nomination for Attorney General in a 12-10 vote.

The Committee advanced Blanche after RINO Senators Tillis and Cornyn backed down and came to an agreement over the weaponization fund.

The full Senate vote to confirm Todd Blanche is set for Friday, however, with McConnell out, and Murkowski and Collins a “no,” Blanche’s confirmation is hanging on by a thread.

Senator Cassidy is expected to announce his decision on Blanche shortly.

Full statement from Murkowski:

I have had numerous constructive meetings with Mr. Blanche and he comes across as decent and capable. I appreciate the trip he made to learn more about Alaska, including our rural areas, and as Acting Attorney General he has made several noteworthy decisions that will benefit our state and the nation.

Ultimately, however, I will oppose his nomination.

The politicization—even weaponization—of the Department did not start with this administration but has accelerated during it. I take issue with the handling of the release of the Epstein files; the sweeping immunity protections granted to the President, his family, and their businesses; the statements that have been made to anti-abortion groups; and the repeated targeting of individuals ranging from former administration staff to sitting U.S. Senators.

I am also keenly aware that the Department’s nearly $2-billion dollar slush fund—which likely would have rewarded January 6 protesters—is only off the table because this nomination is pending and the Senate has leverage. Once we vote, that will end, and there is no telling what the future holds.

The country needs an Attorney General who will check the worst impulses of this administration. I hope Mr. Blanche is able to achieve that, if confirmed, but I simply do not have confidence that will be the case.
