Do not vote to confirm Todd Blanche as the next U.S. Attorney General. I’m astonished, as a trained lawyer, you would be so naive as to accept this worthless agreement from Todd Blanche as any sort of binding contract. You know better. More importantly, WE know better. Are you trying to fool the American people because you think we won’t understand? You underestimate us at your political peril. Anyone familiar with Trump's time as a business owner or politician knows, his word can’t be trusted. Blanche posted two documents in his Aug. 2 message. One is an unsigned Department of Justice memo that says Trump's IRS immunity "applies by its terms only retroactively" from when that settlement was announced on May 19th. The other is a DOJ statement signed by Blanche affirming that the slush fund, first announced on May 18th, "is rescinded and shall have no force or effect." As legal documents, they have zero value. They were not filed in a court. No judge examined or approved them, and President Trump did not sign them. On Aug. 3, he told journalists he didn’t even look at them and didn't know what they contained. Again, you, sir, are a trained lawyer. You know better than to accept anyone’s word as legally binding contract. Do not vote to confirm Todd Blanche as the next U.S. Attorney General.
