An Open Letter

To: Sen. Tillis, Sen. Budd

From: A constituent in Denver, NC

August 6

If you are even considering voting to confirm Todd Blanche, consider what happened in a courtroom this week at his request. “We now understand Trump’s operating principles at DOJ: He runs the show, his enemies get indicted even when the cases are bogus, and his friends get forgiveness no matter what the crimes they’ve committed are. The idea that this administration would have ever defended the convictions of the January 6 insurrectionists is laughable in hindsight, because it’s Trump’s Justice Department. Todd Blanche is just the puppet. Donald Trump is pulling the strings. The Oath Keepers case is over. But Judge Mehta's opinion will be remembered for something else. It is one of the clearest judicial descriptions we've seen of how prosecutorial discretion can be abused, exercised not to pursue justice, but to erase it. That's the Justice Department we'll be watching from here forward.” By Joyce Vance Do not vote to support this version of DOJ. Justice means accountability both for the criminal and for the prosecution. Vote NO on Blanche.
