What a shame 2 Rep's who have nothing left in the game (Sens. Tillis & Cornyn) -- 1 retiring who grew a spine to speak out against Trump (Tillis) & Cornyn who was totally screwed in TX -- will vote YES for Blanche for Atty Gen. Based on just the Epstein Files -- what a travesty.
Moynihan: I know you're trying to get a social media clip but I’m not here to answer to you.
Blow: I really appreciate you lecturing me about what I'm here to do, because I'm here because Abby show invited me here, and I have been in journalism for a very long time. In fact, I came to the New York Times when the year that you were born. So I suggest that you choose a lane that is your own and stay in it. And don't lecture me because I won't be lectured by a child.
🚨BREAKING: This is the unearthed video Senator Adam Schiff repeatedly demanded Todd Blanche to answer for during today’s hearing.
Blanche literally ADMITS he fired DOJ attorneys who prosecuted Trump, his own client - a staggering and obvious breach of ethics.
If @POTUS really stands up tomorrow night to raise the threat of foreign interference in our elections, I hope he also will explain why he slashed CISA, the agency created to fight it; the ODNI's Foreign Malign Influence Center and the FBI's foreign influence task force.
Good Job Ossoff.
It’s humiliating and these guys will happily humiliate themselves to avoid making the toddler, Fat Donald, throw a tantrum.
History will be brutal to them
BOOKER: Were you involved in Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer for a minimum security orison camp?
BLANCHE: We learned she was received threats
BOOKER: When people are under threats in the Bureau of Prisons facility, they are not moved to a camp
Here it is in a nutshell:
The price for holding one of the most sensitive positions in our government--Director of National Intelligence-is dignifying an abject lie about the '20 election.
And confirming him is the price most Rs will pay to stay aligned with the lie's author.
Schiff: In the past, the president was convicted in the case you represented him in, of falsifying business records, in part for tax purposes.
Blanche; That's not what he was convicted of.
Schiff: I'm happy to read the statement of facts to participants took steps that mischaracterized for tax purposes the true nature of the payments made in furtherance of the scheme.
Blanche: That was somebody else.
Schiff: Well, if the president is conspiring with others to falsify business records to help them cheat on taxes, he has also exposed a liability. You know that as well as I do.
Blanche: He can't be audited for that.
Schiff: And of course, he can be. Of course he can be and he can be prosecuted for it.
🚨TODD BLANCHE IS LYING HIS ASS OFF: After Senator Hirono asked whether ANY of the judges agreed with the DOJ that they were entitled to state voter lists - Blanche said yes.
THAT IS A LIE. Not one of the 14 judges agreed with the DOJ.
Dear @SecScottBessent: When you pull your head out of trump’s ass, can you please focus on the economy? The American people are suffering. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Am I the only one frustrated as HELL at how passive Senate Democrats are being with their line of questioning for Todd Blanche?
Where’s the righteous indignation?
They have facts to back up how compromised & dangerous this guy is.
ACT LIKE IT!
Sen Schiff is skewering Blanche on permitting Trump to walk away with immunity from tax liability from a lawsuit Trump filed after the statute of limitations had run--which is an airtight defense DOJ would have normally asserted & which would have ended the litigation. It didn't do that here.
This is why Trump HATES @ossoff: He’s too good at this.
OSSOFF: Did the President pardon a man who worked with the Sinaloa Cartel to facilitate massive narco trafficking into the US?
CLAYTON: Word Salad… He was a convicted narco trafficker.
OSSOFF: Did the President of the United States pardon a convicted narco trafficker?
CLAYTON: Yes.
