Block Todd Blanche

 

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything as pathetic as this. At his first press conference as acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche did nothing to assert his independence from Donald Trump. In fact, he said: “If President Trump chooses to nominate somebody else and asks me to go do something else, I’ll say, 'Thank you very much, I love you, sir.'” Blanche used to be Trump’s personal lawyer. Now, as acting AG, he’s treating the Justice Department as Trump’s private law firm. This isn’t just pathetic — it’s dangerous. In this week’s video, we look at the many reasons the Senate must REJECT Todd Blanche’s nomination for Attorney General, and we have a link to send your senators a message telling them just that. WATCH, SIGN & SEND It’s clear Todd Blanche still believes that Trump — not the United States — is his client. As deputy and acting AG, he has gone after Trump’s foes, purged hundreds of DOJ lawyers, proposed a $1.8 billion MAGA slush fund, brokered Trump’s corrupt IRS immunity deal, and botched the release of the Epstein files. Now, as Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, Blanche needs a simple majority to be confirmed. With the sudden passing of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and the continued absence of Mitch McConnell, just three Republican senators can stop this nomination. That includes Sens. Thom Tillis and John Cornyn, both outgoing Republicans on the Judiciary Committee, and Sens. Bill Cassidy and Lisa Murkowski. Folks, I urge you to tell your Senators to vote NO on Todd Blanche for Attorney General, especially if you are represented by a Republican. Thank you for watching, and thank you for taking action!
