🚨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.
BREAKING: HELL NO! The New York City Bar Association boldly OPPOSES Todd Blanche's nomination to be Attorney General, calling him "unfit" for the office.
This is a massive blow to MAGA...
“Mr. Blanche has taken actions that we believe make him unfit to lead an ethical and independent department of justice that is essential to our nation’s democracy," read a letter sent by the Bar Association to Senators Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin, the ranking members of the Judiciary Committee.
"We urge the Committee to reject the nomination of Mr. Blanche," the letter continued. "Mr. Blanche’s record—particularly the actions he has undertaken as Deputy Attorney General and Acting Attorney General—conclusively demonstrates his lack of commitment to the integrity, professionalism and independence that the Senate should require and the American people should expect of the highest law enforcement official in the land."
They went on to slam Blanche for failing to meet the standard of "professional excellence and unquestionable ethical standards that assure his commitment to justice and loyalty to the United States Constitution" and stated that his "primary loyalty" is to Trump and not the Constitution or the "rule of law."
They specifically cited his role as Trump's personal attorney during his felony trial as a cause for concern, adding that he continues to prioritize his boss's "personal interests" above all else.
"As a result, his actions have been detrimental to the Department of Justice and the rule of law. Specifically, Mr. Blanche has compromised the integrity and independence of the Department he has been nominated to lead," the letter asserted.
The Bar Association then listed some specific concerns, stating that Blanche has:
I. Abused the Department’s prosecutorial power through politically motivated prosecutions and investigations;
II. Failed to respect the Constitutional rights of citizens and all other people present in the United States protesting widespread abuses by ICE and other customs officers;
III. Placed loyalty to President Trump over commitment to the rule of law in the Epstein investigation and the “settlement” of Trump v. I.R.S.;
IV. Undermined the independence and integrity of the Department of Justice by, among other things, terminating or reassigning lawyers and others who participated in January 6 investigations or otherwise acted in a manner perceived to be disloyal to Mr. Trump; and;
V. Undermined public trust in the Department of Justice and the rule of law through conduct contrary to the Rules of Professional Conduct applicable to Mr. Blanche and the Department’s own Justice Manual.
"Under normal circumstances, each of these improper actions by Mr. Blanche as Deputy Attorney General and Acting Attorney General would be grounds for disqualifying him from serving as Attorney General," the letter added. "Together, they demonstrate that, whatever his prior experience or formal credentials, Mr. Blanche is unfit to lead the U.S. Department of Justice."
We couldn't agree more. Todd Blanche is an immoral hatchet man for an even more immoral President. He will do whatever Trump orders him to do, regardless of how criminal it is or how much damage it inflicts on our democracy.
The simple truth is that anyone who would willingly serve a demented, murderous pedophile like Donald Trump is unfit to hold office. Todd Blanche is no different. The Senate must reject his nomination.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Blanche needs to be investigated!
Don't let anyone tell us we can't have nice things - like good roads, schools, and health care - as if the world's richest nation couldn't possibly afford it.
This is GREAT: Leader Jeffries is slamming trump's "Ponzi Scheme" that was REJECTED by a judge today.
