Thanks to the spineless Republicans (except for Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski) we now have the President’s personal lawyer acting as Attorney General.
Who is Todd Blanche?
Todd Blanche put Ghislaine Maxwell in a minimum security prison.
Todd Blanche illegally exposed Epstein’s victims, including nude pictures.
Todd Blanche protected the rapists who paid to rape children.
Todd Blanche was fine with Donald Trump pardoning Juan Orlando Hernández, a convicted Cartel boss and drug trafficker.
Todd Blanche was fine with the pardon of Changpeng Zhao who laundered money for human traffickers and drug cartels.
Todd Blanche was fine with sending Kilmar Armando Ábrego García to die in prison, even though he’d never been convicted of a crime.
Todd Blanche tried to prosecute Abrego García on fabricated charges to save Trump the embarrassment.
Todd Blanche was willing to let an actual human trafficker out of prison early to “testify” against Abrego García.
Todd Blanche signed off on a deal that would allow Donald Trump and his family immunity from tax fraud after they corruptly made billions of dollars off of Trump’s Presidential powers, selling pardons and policy to whoever would pay for them.
Todd Blanche was, and still considers himself to be, Donald Trump’s personal attorney.
Todd Blanche was willing to send David Hearn to prison for a crime that not only did Hearn not commit, but a crime that wasn’t even committed by anyone, all to not make Donald Trump look bad.
Any one of those things would be disqualifying for any other AG nominee, but not for this one.
But now, Todd Blanche is the Attorney General of the United States.
And the issue here isn’t just the things he has done, but what he has shown himself willing to do.
If the past is prologue, how can we trust that this man, entrusted with the protection of the rule of law, won’t just openly flay it?
Every Senator who voted to confirm him is a shameless, vile, disgusting, America-hating, anti-patriotic bag of fermented dog vomit. Shame on every last one of them.
