The Multnomah County Republican Party (MCRP) today wrote a letter to President Trump, warning that a judicial selection committee screening selections for the federal judiciary contains one Republican, four Democrats, and one Independent.  MCRP Chair James L. Buchal stated:  “we find it impossible to understand why a Republican administration would knowingly establish a judicial selection committee controlled by Democrats.” 

Buchal provided other examples to suggest that the President’s “swamp-draining efforts in Oregon have been subverted,” and expressed hope that the White House would take a greater role in the selection of future federal officials setting policy for Oregonians.  The MCRP also expressed continuing support for the President and looks forward to helping him get re-elected.
