"Todd Blanche has been everything President Trump wants in an attorney general, and that’s the problem."

This supposed 'deal' doesn't prevent payouts to violent insurrectionists in the future.
It doesn't prevent the admin from bringing the slush fund back from the dead next week or using DOJ’s Judgment Fund for the same illicit purpose.
It leaves in place a tax-immunity deal that could help Trump skip taxes on the $2.3 billion he made last year, and still leaves it vague who and what is covered.
Todd Blanche says he stands by his testimony from before our committee last month. Under oath, he pledged to provide Congress with assistance on a bill to make the death of Donald Trump's slush fund enforceable by law.
No such assistance has been forthcoming. The Judiciary Committee and its members should not settle for less than the Acting Attorney General following through on his promise of helping to write this into statute.
🚨TORCHED: Sen. Sheldon
Whitehouse just UNLOADED on Republicans for advancing Todd Blanche:
“Today... is a sad and embarrassing day... we are going to advance... probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of Attorney General.”
Republicans are COWARDS.
This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of @SenThomTillis and @JohnCornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country.
@DAGToddBlanche should be impeached, not confirmed.
It now appears that Todd Blanche has enough votes to become attorney general. Both Tom Tillis and John Cornin now say they will vote for his confirmation.
Does this make you sick to your stomach?

Tillis and Cornyn are going to vote to confirm the guy who came up with the idea of the $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund.
Tillis and Cornyn are cowards.

One month ago today: U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro claims she has “tremendous evidence” against David Hearn for vandalizing the Reflecting Pool.
She lied. Secretary Burgum lied. White House staff lied. Trump lied.
There will be no consequences.
Blanche commits in writing to not proceed with $1.8 billion taxpayer fund for Trump allies and to limit IRS immunity for Trump. But even so Trump and two sons are still immune from audits, back taxes and penalties for past years. @migold@aduehren@jarirah https://t.co/4n3OyvmbBP

The U.S. National Debt is $40T
Donald Trump accumulated $16T of that $40T
In just 6 years, Donald Trump has been responsible for 40% of the debt our country has ever accumulated in 250 years.
The Trump crime family lost their Capital One accounts because a review showed there was money laundering.
Trump‘s crimes are so expansive money laundering barely makes a dent with the media.
Trump sued Capitol One for Slander. In discovery, we learned Trump sold multiple condos to Russians who paid in cash. The Money Laundering Desk at Capitol One closed his accounts. Republicans of course are not investigating this.
Blanche’s new tax immunity deal still gifts Trump an unprecedented, unconscionable benefit worth $100’s of millions. Republicans should reject it—& Blanche. Lipstick on this rancid grift is no excuse to confirm him.
