I am writing to urge you to strongly oppose the nomination of Todd Blanche for U.S. Attorney General. He lacks the impartiality required to be our nation's top law enforcement official, as recently highlighted by the federal court in the $1.776 billion IRS settlement. A federal judge voided this corrupt deal, severely criticizing Blanche for his role and sanctioning the involved attorneys. The scathing ruling noted the lawsuit was filed for an improper purpose to manufacture presidential immunity. Confirming someone willing to abuse the judicial process to shield the president and his allies from accountability sets a dangerous precedent. I urge you to stand against his confirmation.
