In July, Chuck Grassley said he would not process a nomination to the Supreme Court in 2020 if he were still chairman of the Judiciary Committee. qctimes.com/news/state-and…

“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination."
LINDSEY GRAHAM on Oct. 3, 2018:

"If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we'll wait to the next election.”

8 lobbyists and operatives with lobbying ties are assisting Trump’s campaign.

Those 8 have been paid ~$120 million since early 2017 to lobby the Trump administration.

2 of the top 3 earners had not lobbied at the federal level before Trump’s election.

nytimes.com/2020/07/06/us/…
"Shortly after Trump took office, he issued an executive order prohibiting fmr admin officials from lobbying the agency where they were formerly employed, for a period of five years…5 lobbyists who are fmr admin officials have potentially done just that"

At least 82 former Trump administration officials are now registered as lobbyists. politico.com/news/2020/07/0…
