Alina Habba, President Trump’s nominee for US Attorney of New Jersey, did not mince words on the absolutely cowardly Republicans blocking her nomination during an interview on Sunday.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, US District Judge Matthew Brann, an Obama appointee, said Alina Habba is “not lawfully holding the Office of US Attorney” of New Jersey.
The Pennsylvania-based federal judge oversaw a challenge to Habba’s authority because the judges in New Jersey had a conflict of interest after they ousted her from her position as interim US Attorney last month. Last month, a group of federal judges declined to extend Habba’s term as interim US Attorney of New Jersey after Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched a pressure campaign to oust her.
Habba revealed that Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley is trying to block her confirmation in the Senate by holding up the ‘blue slip’ tradition. This custom defers the judicial nominations to the home state senators. Habba slammed Grassley for not ending the practice.
“Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo asked Habba about not only Grassley’s obstinacy but also disgraced North Carolina RINO Senator Thom Tillis’s refusal to support her. Habba said she was unsurprised and went off on the two for being part of the problem.

BARTIROMO: What do you want to say about Senator Thom Tillis, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has stated publicly that if Senator Grassley tried moving a district judge or a U.S. attorney through the Judiciary Committee without a blue slip, he would oppose that nominee! That means we would have the votes to pass a nomination like Habba’s out of committee because he would vote no along with the Democrats.
HABBA: It’s not surprising. They’re looking at this as they need to get along to go along, but they’re not looking at what this does.
The President was rightfully voted in by a majority of Americans, and he is entitled to pick his U.S. attorneys, his DOJ officials, and his judges so that we can continue the agenda that the American public voted for, which is to get rid of crime.
The truth is, it has nothing to do with the work that we’re doing. It has nothing to do with the crime that we’re stopping. It has to do with trying to prevent President Trump from continuing his agenda, and it has to stop.
I would say to Sen. Tillis and Sen. Grassley: You are becoming part of the issue. You are becoming part of the antithesis of what we fought for four years.
