NO BLANCHE CONFIRMATION WITHOUT WRITTEN GUARANTEE TO SCRAP TRUMP IRS IMMUNITY
The nomination of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General must not be allowed to make it out of the Judiciary Committee until and unless you and the other committee members insist that the Justice Department drops the proposed settlement stipulating that the IRS would be “FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED from prosecuting or pursuing” pending tax claims against Mr. Trump, his family members and businesses, an accommodation which would
shield Mr. Trump and his family from tax investigations that might be worth more than $100 million to the president.
Your refusal to green-light Blanche - your lone vote - would be sufficient leverage to get rid of this absurd giveaway. Please reassure your tax-paying constituents that you have our backs by making Blanche's confirmation contingent on a formal eradication of this noxious deal.
