Remove Todd Blanche as Attorney General. His confirmation was a mistake from the start — a former personal defense attorney for Donald Trump had no business being handed the top law enforcement job in the country. The conflicts of interest were glaring, and now he's proving every critic right.
On national television, Blanche refused to commit to keeping the Justice Department independent of the White House. He openly admitted he would factor Trump's views into individual prosecution decisions. That's not a gaffe — that's a confession. The DOJ has already indicted Trump's perceived political enemies, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Blanche's own words explain why.
An attorney general who takes direction from the president on who to prosecute has violated the oath of office. Full stop. I expect you to begin impeachment proceedings immediately and push for his removal. The Justice Department belongs to the American people, not to any president's personal agenda.
