I am a concerned citizen who cares deeply about the future of our country. I believe that Todd Blanche is unfit to serve as our next Attorney General. I am urging you to vote against his nomination.
Blanche has already done great damage to the justice system and to the rule of law in America. He has harmed the Department of Justice and put the American people in danger by firing hundreds of career prosecutors and FBI agents. His attacks on judges he disagrees with are irresponsible and dangerous. He is abusing his power and wasting taxpayer resources by focusing on an endless series of revenge prosecutions that are not in the interests of justice.
Blanche was Donald Trump’s personal attorney, and it is clear that he is still putting Trump’s personal interests ahead of the interests of the American people. Blanche’s betrayal of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes is unconscionable. I am especially troubled that Blanche arranged for Ghislaine Maxwell (Epstein’s partner) to be transferred to a minimum security prison camp.
I am also very concerned about the “anti-weaponization” slush fund. Blanche is now claiming that it’s not moving forward—but why won’t he put this in writing? And more importantly, why did he sign off in the first place on using billions of dollars of taxpayer funds to pay people who harmed police officers and committed other crimes?
We need an Attorney General who is loyal to the Constitution and the law. Todd Blanche is not, and his track record proves it. Please think about our country’s future. Please put the law and the Constitution ahead of politics. Please do the right and ethical thing and vote against Todd Blanche. We the people are counting on you.
