Outgoing Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), defeated in May's GOP primary by a Trump-endorsed opponent, made clear Friday he plans to use his "newfound political freedom" to extract concessions from the White House – or blow up its plans in the process, Punchbowl News reported Monday.

At the top of Cornyn’s list is officially shuttering the Trump administration’s anti-weaponization fund, a taxpayer-funded $1.7 billion fund dedicated to awarding payouts to those who’ve claimed to have been unfairly targeted by the Biden Administration’s Justice Department. Cornyn suggested that President Donald Trump’s nomination of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche could be in jeopardy if the White House doesn’t fold on the fund.

“They’re not enthusiastic about it, but if they want to get [Blanche] out of the committee, I think they realize they need to talk to us,” Cornyn said, according to Punchbowl News.

Bullshit. This is the same guy who sends constituents form letters claiming the SAVE America act is fantastic.

It’s current. Got the form letter reply from him last week. I really thought he’d say “fuck it” at this point because he’s old and isn’t going to be re-elected. But no, he’s still toeing the party line.
