🚨NEW: Jimmy McCain, son of John McCain, is supporting Arizona Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs in her re-election campaign and will campaign for her this fall.
RETWEET to thank McCain for putting country over party!
KELLY: Can you tell me why Joe Biden was certified as the winner of the 2020 election?
CLAYTON: ... I really ... Uhm ... I don't want to continue to debate about this, but I believe he had the most electoral votes
KELLY: So he won the election?
CLAYTON: ... hahehe
KELLY: Trump isn't even in the room today. You're gonna be in the room with him. And if you can't disagree with him ...
Pete Hegseth's mother on Pete Hegseth:
"I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego.
"You are that man and have been for years.
"As your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that."
Embarrassing. Embarrassing for him. Embarrassing for the legal profession. Embarrassing for the Justice Department. Embarrassing for his former law partners (who have been embarrassed more than they deserve lately). Embarrassing for his family. Embarrassing for anyone who has ever met or worked with him (I guess I am fortunate to have not). And embarrassing for the country.
For the life of me I will never understand why intelligent, otherwise respected people like Clayton have chosen to abase themselves for a corrupt, criminal, imbecilic sociopath.
Epstein survivor: Mr. Blanche said he would meet with survivors. Well, we're here and we are ready to meet. You were asked if you were Donald Trump's friend. You responded and misspoke, 'I'm his lawyer.' You are the American people's lawyer. We call on every senator who values justice to vote against confirming Todd Blanche as the Attorney General. To every senator, especially Tillis and Cornyn preparing to vote, please listen to us.
Former DOJ Employee Elizabeth Oyer: "Mr. Blanche said yesterday that the settlement fund is dead. It is not. That is contract law 101. Mr. Trump or his sons could seek to enforce it at anytime."
Sen. Booker to Todd Blanche: "Your nomination should fail. The Attorney General's client is not the president, it's the American people. You've been protecting one person for most of your career…You should not be confirmed to this job."
Sen. @AdamSchiff to Acting AG Todd Blanche:
What happened to the prosecutor who once respected the rule of law? What happened to you, Todd Blanche? Power doesn't corrupt as much as it reveals. I suspect it has revealed you are willing to sacrifice everything you believed in for that title of Attorney General, and it is a sad story that we have seen from Trump appointee after appointee. We have seen people compromise themselves until they're trying to justify the unjustifiable.
BREAKING: New predictions reveal that Donald Trump's best friend in Congress, Mike Lawler, is losing in New York's 17th Congressional District to Cait Conley. This would be an enormous flip for Democrats in November. Let's go!
DOJ has lost 15 of the 30 cases it filed to obtain state voter files. It has not won a single case. 6 of the defeats were before judges appointed by Trump.
Elias Law Group moved to intervene to defend voters in all of these cases. We are undefeated.
When we fight, we win!🗳️⚖️💪
BREAKING: Iranian officials privately warned Vice President JD Vance that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were allegedly exploiting U.S.-Iran negotiations for financial gain, according to a new report from Drop Site News.
A senior Iranian official told the outlet the message was delivered directly to Vance. The Trump administration denies the allegation and says no such communication ever occurred.
Durbin to Blanche: "You have shown you're still Trump's personal attorney. Your tenure can be summed up in the four words you said -- 'I love you sir' to President Trump. This nation deserves an attorney general who loves the Constitution more than any single president."
Sen. COONS: How many January 6th rioters were convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers?
Blanche: ~120.
Coons: 200+. How many had their sentences commuted or were pardoned?
Blanche: Every one.
Coons: The pardons are a shameful slap in the face to law enforcement.
This is going to be amazing evidence for all the innocent people the Trump administration is trying to prosecute. It’s going to be fabulous evidence in their future defamation suits. 😂
Sen. @AdamSchiff: The IRS settlement agreement that absolves Trump of past tax liabilities. Trump was convicted in the case you represented him in, of falsifying business records in part for tax purposes.
Blanche: He can't be audited for that
Schiff: Of course he can be, and he can be prosecuted for it, but the agreement you signed, in a staggering example of self-dealing, prohibits that.
